Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Far Lochaber is a novel written by Scottish author William Black and first published in 1893. The story is set in the Scottish Highlands and follows the lives of two young women, Jessie and Flora, who are cousins and live in a remote and isolated village. Jessie is engaged to the local laird, but their relationship is strained due to his infidelity. Flora, on the other hand, falls in love with a young artist who comes to the village to paint the stunning scenery. The novel explores the themes of love, betrayal, and the clash between tradition and modernity. It also depicts the harsh realities of life in the Highlands, including poverty, superstition, and the impact of the Clearances. The characters are well-drawn and complex, with their own hopes, fears, and flaws. The landscape is vividly described, capturing the wild beauty of the Highlands and its changing seasons.In Far Lochaber is a poignant and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into a bygone era and a way of life that is now largely lost. It is a testament to Black's skill as a writer and his deep love for Scotland and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
