Omschrijving

""The Surprising Adventures Of Bampfylde Moore Carew, King Of The Beggars"" is a historical novel written by Robert Goadby in 1812. The book follows the life of Bampfylde Moore Carew, an infamous 18th-century English vagabond and self-proclaimed ""King of the Beggars."" The novel is based on the true story of Carew's life, chronicling his many adventures and misadventures as he travels across England and Europe, living off his wits and the generosity of others. Carew is portrayed as a charismatic and cunning figure, able to charm his way out of any situation and always on the lookout for his next opportunity. Throughout the book, Carew encounters a wide range of characters, from fellow beggars and thieves to wealthy aristocrats and even royalty. He engages in various schemes and cons, often involving disguises and elaborate ruses, to survive and thrive in a world that is hostile to his way of life. Despite his many escapades, Carew is also depicted as a sympathetic figure, struggling with poverty and social exclusion in a society that offers little support to those on the margins. Overall, ""The Surprising Adventures Of Bampfylde Moore Carew, King Of The Beggars"" is a lively and entertaining historical novel that offers a unique glimpse into the life of a colorful and controversial figure from England's past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
