Omschrijving

The Golden Dog is a historical novel written by William Kirby and published in 1897. Set in Quebec City in the early 18th century, the story follows the lives of two French Canadian families, the Montignys and the Saint-Ours, and their involvement in the political and social events of the time.At the center of the story is a golden dog statue, which is said to bring good luck to whoever possesses it. The statue is stolen from the Montigny family by a British soldier named George Stewart, who falls in love with Claire Montigny, the daughter of the family. The theft of the statue sets off a chain of events that leads to a duel, a murder, and a trial.Throughout the novel, Kirby weaves together themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power and control. He also provides a vivid portrayal of life in Quebec City during the French and Indian War, including the tensions between the French and British, the role of the Catholic Church, and the influence of the fur trade.The Golden Dog is considered a classic of Canadian literature and has been praised for its rich historical detail, engaging plot, and well-drawn characters.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
