Omschrijving

Deacon Giles's Distillery: And Other Miscellanies is a collection of short stories and essays written by American author George Barrell Cheever and published in 1853. The title story, Deacon Giles's Distillery, is a satirical tale about a pious deacon who secretly runs a profitable distillery, only to be exposed by a group of temperance advocates. The other stories in the collection cover a range of topics, including religion, politics, and social issues. Cheever's writing style is characterized by his use of humor, irony, and moralizing, as he critiques various aspects of American society in the mid-19th century. Overall, Deacon Giles's Distillery: And Other Miscellanies provides a fascinating glimpse into the literary and cultural landscape of the United States during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
