Omschrijving

Ovingdean Grange: A Tale of the South Downs is a novel written by William Harrison Ainsworth and published in 1879. The story is set in the South Downs, a range of hills in southern England, and revolves around the life of a young man named Francis Levison.Francis is the heir to the Ovingdean Grange estate and is expected to take over the family business. However, he is a reckless and impulsive young man who is more interested in enjoying his wealth and status than in running the estate. He spends his time gambling, drinking, and chasing after women, much to the dismay of his family and friends.As the story unfolds, Francis becomes involved in a series of scandals and intrigues that threaten to destroy his reputation and his family's fortune. He is accused of theft, fraud, and murder, and is forced to flee from the law. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including smugglers, gypsies, and highwaymen, who help him to evade capture and clear his name.Despite its dark themes and complex plot, Ovingdean Grange is also a love story. Francis falls in love with a beautiful and virtuous young woman named Clara, who helps him to see the error of his ways and inspires him to become a better person.Overall, Ovingdean Grange is a gripping and entertaining novel that explores the themes of love, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a classic example of Victorian literature and is still widely read and admired today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
