Omschrijving

The King's Jackal is a novel by Richard Harding Davis set in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of journalist and adventurer, James Barnes, as he travels to the fictional African country of Bongoland to report on the coronation of the new king. However, Barnes soon finds himself embroiled in a dangerous political plot, as he becomes involved with the king's mistress and her plot to overthrow the monarch. Along the way, Barnes must navigate the treacherous political landscape of Bongoland, as well as confront his own moral dilemmas and personal demons. The novel is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of colonialism, power, and corruption, and is considered a classic of American literature.1906. American journalist and novelist who covered wars all over the world. His vivid accounts made him one of the leading reporters of his day. The book begins: The private terrace of the Hotel Grand Bretagne, at Tangier, was shaded by a great awning of red and green and yellow, and strewn with colored mats, and plants in pots, and wicker chairs. It reached out from the King's apartments into the Garden of Palms, and was hidden by them on two sides, and showed from the third the blue waters of the Mediterranean and the great shadow of Gibraltar in the distance.
