Omschrijving

""The Touchstone of Fortune"" is a historical novel written by Charles Major and published in 1912. The book is presented as the memoir of Baron Clyde, a fictional character who lived during the reign of Charles II of England. The story follows Clyde's rise to power and wealth, as well as his eventual downfall during the tumultuous reign of the so-called ""Merry Monarch."" The novel is set in the 17th century and provides a vivid portrayal of the political and social climate of the time. Major uses the character of Clyde to explore themes of power, corruption, and morality, as well as to provide a window into the lives of the aristocracy and the common people of England during this period. Through Clyde's experiences, the reader is taken on a journey from the height of royal power to the depths of political turmoil and rebellion. The novel is rich with historical detail and provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history. Overall, ""The Touchstone of Fortune"" is a compelling work of historical fiction that offers both entertainment and insight into the past. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of England, the aristocracy, and the complex politics of the 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
