Omschrijving

The King Over The Water: Or The Marriage Of Mr. Melancholy is a novel written by Justin Huntly McCarthy in 1911. The story revolves around the character of Mr. Melancholy, who is a young Englishman with a deep sense of melancholy and a desire to escape his mundane life. He travels to Scotland and becomes involved in the Jacobite cause, which seeks to restore the exiled Stuart dynasty to the British throne. Mr. Melancholy falls in love with the beautiful and spirited Flora Macdonald, who is a supporter of the Jacobite cause. However, their love is threatened by the political turmoil of the time and the opposition of Flora's family. Mr. Melancholy becomes embroiled in the Jacobite rebellion and is forced to flee to France, where he becomes a trusted advisor to the exiled Stuart king. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and political intrigue in a historical context. It also delves into the psychological state of the protagonist, who is struggling to find meaning and purpose in his life. The King Over The Water: Or The Marriage Of Mr. Melancholy is a well-crafted historical novel that provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Jacobite politics and the romantic ideals of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
