Unread copy, not remaindered, bleach mark on front wrap from sticker removal; pages lightly tanned. ‘… transforms the real life of an eighteenth-century gentleman-adventurer into a fictional journey that scales the heights of exotic adventure, from England, to India, to Frederick the Great’s Prussia – and eventually to Labrador. First published in 1992, John Steffler’s stunning novel recreates a lost time and place, and gives life to an enigmatic figure from Canada’s past. Described quietly by historians as “soldier, diarist, entrepreneur,” Cartwright emerges as a character of overwhelming appetite and ambition. Now his tale becomes our own: a telling portrait of our past and a warning about our future.’ (from rear wrap)
