Sobre este artículo
London: Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Adventure novel about the young Scotsman David Crawfurd and his adventures in South Africa, where a native uprising under the charismatic black minister John Laputa is tied to the medieval legend of Prester John. Octavo: 376 p. with a frontispiece. In the variant blue cloth binding, with decorative gilt, light blue, and gray stamping. A bit of wear to the corners and tips; else very good.
Sinopsis
I mind as if it were yesterday my first sight of the man. Little I knew at the time how big the moment was with destiny, or how often that face seen in the fitful moonlight would haunt my sleep and disturb my waking hours. But I mind yet the cold grue of terror I got from it, a terror which was surely more than the due of a few truant lads breaking the Sabbath with their play.
