Excerpt from Jack the Giant-Killer
And we read that some emperors are feasting in company at their splendid revels, while another is torn from his throne and carried away by a furious and angry foe, by a giant of the race which has filled the world with such terror in its time. Of late a young giant of that very tribe has marched through our own streets; a giant at play, it is true, and feeding his morbid appetite with purses, chains, and watches, and iron park railings; but who shall say that he may not perhaps grow impatient as time goes on, and cry for other food?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows John Trevithic, a young curate striving for change and challenge. When an opportunity arises for him to become a chaplain at a workhouse, Trevithic is initially determined to leave his current post. However, his resolve is tested when he meets Anne Bellingham, the rector's daughter. Drawn into a whirlwind romance, Trevithic finds himself engaged to Anne and subsequently promised a living in Lincolnshire, causing him to abandon his dream of serving the less fortunate. As time passes, Trevithic begins to question his choices and the growing realization that he has compromised his values. The book delves into the themes of self-sacrifice, the search for meaning, and the tension between personal desires and societal expectations. Through Trevithic's journey, the author explores the complexities of human nature, the weight of obligation, and the risks involved in pursuing one's heart over one's principles.
