Buchbeschreibung 19.2cm x 12.7cm. 378 (4) pages. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very good+ condition with only minor signs of external wear. In this, his longest and most ambitious novel since 'The Foxes of Harrow', Yerby tells the story of Guy Falks, the Southern aristocrat who, without knowing it, lived a lie so gloriously that in the end he made it come true. But this new Frank Yerby novel is far more than that: it tells the story of the vast Southern plantation, Fairoaks, of the four generations of angry men and loyal women who were willing to make any sacrifice for its possession, and of slavery and the trade in human lives. Most of all, this is Guy Falk's story. Son of a hill-slattern and roaring, blustering Wes Falks, who was too much a man for his own good, Guy is driven by the twin furies of ambition and revenge. It takes eighteen long years and many thousands of miles of exciting travel before Guy's search for wealth and justice is done. The search takes him into the barbarous slave trade where he wins his fortune but nearly loses his sanity; to Beeljie, the Arabian slave girl whom he learns to love despite his Southern prejudices and despite his promise of marriage to his lovely cousin, Jo Ann; to Giulietta, the great opera singer, with whom he wanders the earth for three years. The scene of 'Fairoaks' ranges from the Mississippi and New Orleans to Cuba, Africa and England; the span of years is from 1780, when Guy's ancestor, Sam Mealey, left England for the New World, to 1884, when Lance Falks prepares to make the same journey. In between are events and people enough to satisfy Frank Yerbe's most demanding fan. Sprache: english. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 50058AB
