Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1901, "The Cavalier" is a historical romance novel and bestseller set in the Antebellum American South.

Cable, a native of New Orleans, was an important Southern author who is noted for his realistic portrayal of Creole life in his home state of Louisiana. An abolitionist with extreme regional pride, Cable was, as The Encyclopedia of Southern Culture notes, "unable to reconcile his love for the South with his abhorrence of slavery and racism;" accordingly, his works vary between supporting the reformation of the New South without racial inequality and nostalgia for the idyllic South of the past.

Cable has been called "the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer."

Autorenporträt
"I live in a small southern town in Russia. I found my connection with the American South, and especially with New Orleans, through music, as this city is undoubtedly one of the most musical cities on the planet. Creole architecture and Spanish colonial architecture soon found me exploring the French Quarter, the heart of New Orleans. The simplicity and conciseness of the forms of the Creole cottages, as well as the pretentiousness of the cast-iron balconies of the Quarter and the carved beauty of the small shotguns, made it clear to me that this is the art I want to work on. I love to draw these buildings on paper, using various techniques, I enjoy making models of the mansions of the city; I like their shapes and elegance, as well as the taste and love with which their residents treat their homes. New Orleans is like a separate small world that is remote from the rest of the country and lives according to its own traditions. Even now, after so many years, local people deeply respect their history and culture, trying to preserve it in its original form. This is how it looks to me. And I love it." -- Valerie Khodakovskaya
