Harold Bindloss

Thurston of Orchard Valley (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The remarkably prolific author Harold Bindloss was born and died in England, but he spent many of the intervening years working odd jobs in exotic locales around the world as a means of sating his unquenchable wanderlust. His novel Thurston of Orchard Valley introduces readers to the gruff, hardscrabble Geoffrey Thurston, who, like a long line of his forebears, works the land. When an unlikely romance blossoms, Thurston's routine existence is rent asunder.

Autorenporträt

Harold Bindloss (1866-1945) was a prolific English novelist and writer, whose narrative craft was often interwoven with the rugged landscapes of the British colonies and the vibrant frontier life. The essence of his literary style lies in the vivid depiction of outdoor adventure and pioneering spirit, which resonated well with the readers of the early 20th century. Bindloss left England for Canada in the 1890s, which greatly influenced his writing, as seen in his works like 'Thurston of Orchard Valley' - a tale that captures the essence of rural community and individual determination. His books frequently explored themes of integrity, perseverance, and the human struggle against natural elements, often featuring stoic heroes facing moral dilemmas. Bindloss wrote over thirty novels, each rich with the authenticity of an author who not only wrote about the frontier but lived it. His works, now somewhat faded from popular memory, offered an important contribution to the genre of adventure and pastoral novels of his time, vital for understanding the spirit of the age in which they were written.
