Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We first meet Jason Auster when he climbs out of a stagecoach in a New England maritime town and, as it were, salutes destiny. A twenty-year-old house carpenter who has come adventuring,Jason hopes to 'put in practice certain theories concerning the rights of men and property which had already made him a pest at home.' And, indeed, theory and practice, destiny and self-determination are all following quite different paths as this antebellum story of love and power, incest and family honor, and sexual bonds and intractable conflicts between races and classes plays out against the backdrop of a nation-and a world-divided.
