Produktbeschreibung
In a small house, in a back street, in the large manufacturing town of Cottonborough, the young wife of "Cobbler" Horn lay dying. It was the dusk of a wild evening in early winter; and the cruel cough, which could be heard every now and then, in the lulls of the wind, from the room upstairs, gave deepening emphasis to the sad fact that the youthful wife and mother-for such also she was-had fallen a victim to that fell disease which sweeps away so much of the fair young life of our land. "Cobbler" Horn himself was engaged just now in the duties of his calling, in the little workshop behind the kitchen. The house was very small. The kitchen and workshop were the only rooms downstairs, and above them were three small chambers. The one in which the dying woman lay was over the workshop, and the sound of her coughing came down with sharp distinctness through the boarded floor, which was the only ceiling of the lower room.
Autorenporträt
J.W. Keyworth, a famous British novelist, created a literary gem called "The Golden Shoemaker," a gripping story that combines aspects of mystery, adventure, and historical fiction. Keyworth, renowned for his ability to take readers to vividly imagined places, demonstrates his storytelling prowess in this masterpiece. "The Golden Shoemaker" chronicles the story of Thomas, a skillful shoemaker who makes a miraculous discovery while working in his small shop. Thomas discovers a hidden compartment within an antique box, revealing a pair of shoes covered with elaborate golden embroidery and said to have magical qualities. As Thomas looks more into the mystery of the shoes, he is lured into a web of intrigue and peril. Through rigorous research and beautiful storytelling, he brings the sights, sounds, and smells of the era to life, transporting readers to a bygone world. "The Golden Shoemaker" is fundamentally a story of discovery, atonement, and the eternal power of human inventiveness. As Thomas sets out to discover the truth about the enchanted shoes, he must confront his own fears and inadequacies, eventually finding courage and purpose in the face of hardship. Keyworth's story is vividly colored, evoking the busy streets of nineteenth-century London.
