Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rudder Grangers Abroad: And Other Stories The sun shone warm and soft, as it shines in winter time in the semi-tropics. The wind blew strong, as it blows whenever and wherever it listeth. Seven pelicans labored slowly through the air. A flock of ducks rose from the surface of the river. A school of mullet, disturbed by a shark, or some other unscrupulous pursuer, sprang suddenly out of the water just before us, and fell into it again like the splashing of a sudden shower. I lay upon the roof of the cabin of a little yacht. Euphemia stood below, her feet upon the mess-chest, and her elbows resting on the edge of the cabin roof. A sudden squall would have unshipped her; still, if one would be happy, there are risks that must be assumed. At the open entrance of the cabin, busily writing on a hanging-shelf that served as a table, sat a Paying Teller. On the high box which during most of the day covered our stove was a little lady, writing in a note-book. On the forward deck, at the foot of the mast, sat a young man in a state of placidness. His feet stuck out on the bowsprit, while his mildly contemplative eyes went forth unto the roundabout. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a semi-barbaric tale of justice and retribution. In a society where the king dispenses his own unique brand of frontier justice through a series of gladiatorial contests and forced marriages, the author explores the themes of chance, choice and the often-arbitrary nature of fate. Through the ordeals of various characters, the author asks whether it is better to die with honor or live a life of quiet desperation. Ultimately, the book presents a thought-provoking examination of the systems of justice and punishment that govern human societies.
