Excerpt from The Fellow Commoner, Vol. 3 of 3
Dillon made no reply, but followed the brute, and entering a van, was conducted to the Conciergerie, previously to being exposed in the pillory, which was to take place on the following day. There were in the van besides himself, nine persons doomed to the same public exposure; all of them fellows of the lowest description, who made a jest of the matter, and seemed to think it rather an honour than a disgrace.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This compelling, 19th-century adventure novel relates the experiences of Dillon, a wrongfully convicted gentleman trying to clear his name. The novel offers an indictment of Franceâs justice system and the deplorable conditions endured by galley slaves. The author exposes the brutality of 19th-century penal practices and the inhumanity of the transatlantic slave trade. He juxtaposes Dillonâs suffering and travails with the wildly varying characters he encounters, from hardened criminals to sympathetic prison guards. Throughout, there is a fascinating tension between Dillonâs religious faith and his deepening skepticism, and the novel probes deeply into the nature of good and evil and the purpose of human existence. The book concludes with Dillonâs daring escape from the galleys and his unlikely alliance with a beautiful, fiercely devoted Romani woman. Dillonâs story ultimately affirms the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit to overcome hardship.
