Omschrijving

The Eagle's Shadow is a novel by James Branch Cabell, first published in 1904. The story is set in Virginia during the American Civil War and follows the life of a young Confederate soldier named Manuel. Manuel is a brave and honorable soldier who is deeply committed to the Confederate cause, but his loyalty is tested when he falls in love with a Union sympathizer named Margaret. As Manuel struggles with his feelings for Margaret and his duty to his country, he must also confront the harsh realities of war and the difficult choices that come with it. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the moral complexities of war, and is widely regarded as one of Cabell's most powerful works. With its vivid descriptions of battle and its nuanced portrayal of complex characters, The Eagle's Shadow is a must-read for anyone interested in American history or classic literature.1904. Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary writers from the South. He is also noted for his unique blending of classic myths and legends with his own imagination and is considered a pioneer of fantasy writing. The book begins: This is the story of Margaret Hugonin and of the Eagle. And with your permission, we will for the present defer all consideration of the bird, and devote our unqualified attention to Margaret. I have always esteemed Margaret the obvious, sensible, most appropriate name that can be bestowed upon a girl-child, for it is a name that fits a woman-any woman-as neatly as her proper size in gloves.
