Produktinformationen zu „Spargo’S Confession (ePub)“
The Revd. James Spargo has a well kept secret to impart- his
youthful involvement with the great Cornish smuggling industry.
Using the proceeds of his illegal activities to gain an education and
become a parish priest, in so doing becoming involved with three
winsome beauties, he defends his activities and explains his motives.
This book also presents the underlying economic necessities of 19th
century smuggling: poverty and cruelly high import duties on nearly
everything, necessities as well as luxuries.
Securely based on the history of Lodenek (Padstow) this novel by
one of Cornwalls foremost authors brings us vividly back to life in
early 19th century North Cornwall, continuing and expanding the
tradition of Jamaica Inn and the Poldark series.
A great tale of estuarine romance, adventure and seafaring
reminiscent of Crosbie Garstin. His best novel yet.
Bert Biscoe, Cornish poet and activist.
Rawe is a hero of the Cornish revival.
Cornish World.
A cracking yam full of originality and enthusiasm, it tells of the
Reverend James Spargo who takes up his pen to confess my past
misdeeds and unlawful exploits. Cornish people at home and
Cousin Jacks abroad will delight in this historic drama, fi lled with
colour, and the salty fl avour of the sea, as well as the divisions of
local life.
