Mr. Meeson's Will

Autor H. Rider Haggard
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Only a storyteller as preternaturally gifted as action-adventure master H. Rider Haggard could turn a story about a legal battle over publishing rights into a gripping page-turner. Mr. Meeson's Will offers a fascinating glimpse into the legal rights of authors in the nineteenth century-and a swashbuckling maritime misadventure that comes with a plethora of unpredictable consequences.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A clash of wills!
Partly a Robinsonade, Mr Meeson's Will was based on a well-known anecdote of the time. The London Globe in fact seemed to hit that Haggard had based his book on a previous book by Aubert, when the Clarence and Richmond Examiner provided an eyewitness account of a gathering attended by Haggard where some legal pupils after having had a fair bit of wine intended to hoax their "eminent Chancery lawyer" and "these newly made advocates" had proposed this curious question in a rather ribald context – whether a will written on skin would be considered legal. The examiner cited this as the source of the plot which concerns a marooned man's will tattooed on the back of a woman in a desperate attempt to remedy his earlier will.

Notă biografică

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856 - 1925), known as H. Rider Haggard, was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. He was also involved in agricultural reform throughout the British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.
