Arthur Conan Doyle
Translated by Albert Savine
A historical novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the tumultuous adventures of its main character, Micah Clarke, amidst the backdrop of the Monmouth Rebellion against King James II in 17th-century England. As tensions mount between the royalist forces and the rebels, the story delves into themes of loyalty, faith, and the struggle against oppression. The opening of this installment introduces a vivid scene set on June 21, 1685, amid stormy weather as Micah Clarke and his fellow rebels prepare for their military campaign. The narrative depicts the soldiers’ journey through treacherous mud and rain, emphasizing their determination and camaraderie, particularly between Micah and his friend Ruben. As they march towards battles with royalist forces, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and anxiety, laying the groundwork for the coming conflicts and deepening character relationships. This portion captures the intrigue of rebellion as the characters grapple with both physical and moral challenges on their path to potential glory or disaster.
