Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

White Wings: A Yachting Romance is a novel written by Scottish author William Black and first published in 1892. The story follows the adventures of a wealthy Englishman named Sir Victor Hazlewood and his love interest, a beautiful young woman named Sylvia Featherstone. Hazlewood is an avid sailor and owns a magnificent yacht called the White Wings. Sylvia is a talented artist who is drawn to the sea and the freedom it represents. The two meet while on holiday in Italy and quickly fall in love. Hazlewood invites Sylvia to sail with him on the White Wings, and they embark on a journey that takes them through the Mediterranean and up the coast of France. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a group of fishermen, a French artist, and a wealthy American couple. As the voyage progresses, Hazlewood and Sylvia's relationship deepens, but they are also faced with challenges that threaten to tear them apart. Hazlewood's past comes back to haunt him, and Sylvia is forced to confront her own fears and insecurities. White Wings: A Yachting Romance is a classic tale of adventure, romance, and the beauty of the sea. Black's vivid descriptions of the yacht and the Mediterranean landscape transport the reader to another time and place. The novel is also notable for its portrayal of strong female characters, particularly Sylvia, who defies societal expectations and pursues her passion for art and the sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
