Samuel Shellabarger

4.9/5 (13544 ratings)

Description:Richard Morandi (also known as Richard Hammond) is the illegitimate son of an English lord who lives in Venice with his ballerina mother. He makes his living as an actor and musician, but when he stabs a Venetian of greater rank in self-defense — an act considered both cowardly and unmannerly — he is condemned to life as a galley slave and is severed from all he knows. Unexpectedly freed, he begins a series of adventures first in London and later Bath, the American colonies, Canada, and Paris. He dabbles in many guises — a soldier, a gentleman, an opportunist seeking power and position — all the while feeling dissatisfied with his life and struggling to find a unifying principle.Shellabarger travelled extensively, later drawing material from his travels to use in his novels. The portrait he paints of mid-eighteenth century Europe is so authentic that the reader may become immersed in the customs of the times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
