In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. Fanny Loviot, adventurer, writer and gold digger, emigrated to San Francisco in 1852. Along with 17 others, including a bankrupt bootmaker and a disgraced nobleman, she set sail from Le Havre on 30 May 1852 on the schooner Dunkirk Independence. The ships passengers were all to join the Californian Gold Rush as part of a lottery scheme, created by Alexander Dumas, whose aim was to send 5000 unemployed workers to find their fortunes. The journey was eventful, and the ship narrowly missed foundering on a reef, put into port in Rio, rounded Cape Horn in a storm, losing at least one sailor, and finally arrived in San Francisco, the passengers near starving, on 20 November, after an epic journey of five months. Although registered on the passenger manifest as a linen maid, it seems highly likely that she fell into prostitution in San Francisco as did many unmarried women of her time. She invented a sister as her travelling companion in an attempt to cover up her connection to the Gold Rush. She traveled widely in California and beyond, and was taken hostage by Chinese pirates during a voyage to Hong Kong. On her return to France, she published the story of her adventures, which was a huge success, largely because it gave what was at the time a rare account of European emigration to Eldorado , written, furthermore by a woman in what was exclusively a male preserve, and was translated into several languages. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A young French girl's adventures in the age of VictoriaThe adventures of Parisian young lady, Fanny Loviot and her eldest sister began in the Spring of 1852 when they boarded the small French schooner Independence, at Havre bound for California. They spent seven days suffering in the English Channel and a further twenty three days at sea before they arrived at Rio de Janeiro. They rounded Cape Horn, losing a seaman, but eventually arrived at San Francisco. Fanny spent almost two years in America experiencing the far west with all its wonders and diversions, including travelling into the interior and seeing her first native Indians. A house fire became the catalyst that divided the sisters and Fanny decided upon adventure to Java with a female acquaintance. In 1854 they embarked upon the Arcturus bound for China. What befell her now began to take on a far more serious aspect, with many perils, the death of companions, a hostile land and capture by Chinese Pirates awaiting her. This most interesting account of a lady's adventures in the middle years of the nineteenth century is highly entertaining, but illustrates not only the changes that have taken place in world travel over the last century and a half but also the remarkable resourcefulness the 'frail sex' could muster when necessary. Interestingly, this book was translated into English by Amelia B. Edwards, another resourceful Victorian lady and a successful 'jobbing' writer who was also very well regarded for her fine supernatural fiction, a collection of which is published by Leonaur.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
