Bøger af Hall Caine

Hall Caine var en slags "kristen/kommunist", hvilket også skinner igennem i stort set alle hans romaner. (Jesus var kommunist). Hans fortællinger er meget underholdende men læses ikke mere - kun et fåtal kender ham. Nærværende roman er imidlertid af interesse da den på glimrende vis beretter om livet på øen Man. En selvstyrende ø under England, med eget retsvæsen, hvilket ikke altid er ideelt.

Hall Caine er idag, som man siger på engelsk "out-dated", men det skal ikke forhindre os i at læse hans underholdende romaner, hvoraf et væld blev filmatiseret, bl. a. af Hitchcock. Her er der, som titlen angiver, tale om en interessant kriminalhistorie.

Hall Caines roman fra 1897 "En kristen", var den første roman i England der blev solgt i over 1 million eksemplarer! Det var en kæmpesucces. Den handler om en ung kvindes kamp for et selvstændigt og frit liv. Den blev flere gange omarbejdet til scenen og opført et utal af gange, ligesom den senere blev filmatiseret.

From the Note: The central date of this story (a Saga in the only sense accepted among Icelanders) is 1800, when Iceland, in the same year as Ireland, lost the last visible sign of her ancient independence as a nation. But lest the historical incidents that stand as a background to simple human passions should seem to clash at some points, I hasten to say that I have not thought it wise to bind myself to the strict chronology of history, Manx or Icelandic, for some years before and after. I am partly conscious that the Iceland I have described is the Iceland of an earlier era, but Icelanders will not object to the license if I have brought within my too narrow limits much of what is beautiful and noble and firing to enthusiasms in their old habits, customs, and laws.

Four of the prisoners carried the coffin on their shoulders, walking in pairs according to their fetters. They were gaunt and bony creatures.

Their clothes were soiled rags, and over them, and concealing them down to their waists and yet lower, hung the deep, rich, velvet pall.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
