Book summaryThe third in a series of fictional memoirs by Harry Flashman, the Victorian scoundrel who got his start as the bully of TOM BROWN'S SCHOOLDAYS. This installment follows Flashman on his usual shady exploits, though this time through the United States, where he becomes party to a financial swindle in New Orleans, and Africa, where he becomes a player in rise of colonialism, all the while tangling in the slave trade. The usual mixture of actual event, historical characters, and sheer fantasy, centered on and narrated by a literate rogue. Media reviews"Mr. Fraser captivates his reader with the liveliness of his descriptions....[a]nd the wealth of period detail he supplies is as astonishing as it is delightful. Flashman is the best kind of scoundrel to read about: the kind who never deceives himself about himself." |
