Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A tale of the British in the second Afghan War in 1879, with Field-Marshal Lord Roberts of Kandahar, V.C. on his victorious Afghan expedition. George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) was a Victorian literary phenomenon whose 144 books and myriad short stories have long enthralled adults and children alike. His fiercely accurate narratives range across the whole spectrum of human achievement, highlighting the greatest characters and the most decisive moments in history. Drawing on his own experiences fighting in the Crimean War and as a foreign correspondent in Europe and Africa, Henty fashioned stories that combined realism and what he called a manly tone, with admiration for British strength and courage. His novels encompass an array of times and places from the early days of Egypt to the mines of the California Gold Rush.
