Omschrijving

Cleg Kelly, Arab Of The City: His Progress And Adventures is a novel written by S. R. Crockett and first published in 1896. The book follows the life of Cleg Kelly, a young boy from the slums of Glasgow who becomes a skilled pickpocket and thief. Despite his criminal activities, Cleg is portrayed as a sympathetic character who is forced to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. As Cleg grows older, he becomes involved in more dangerous and complex criminal activities, including smuggling and counterfeiting. He also becomes embroiled in a love triangle with two women, one of whom is a wealthy socialite and the other a fellow criminal. Throughout the book, Cleg is pursued by the police and faces numerous challenges and setbacks. However, he remains determined to succeed and eventually rises to the top of the criminal underworld. Crockett's novel is a vivid portrayal of life in the slums of Glasgow in the late 19th century, and offers a fascinating insight into the social and economic conditions of the time. It is also a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue, with a complex and compelling protagonist at its heart.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
