E-book Title: Annalea, Princess of Nemusmar
Author: Stephen J. Shore
Book Description: After reading the
first paragraph of this novel, you'll probably conclude that this is a book about pirates. This is
not a book about pirates. Okay, there are a few pirates in the book. (Okay, there are quite a few
pirates in the book.) But this is not a book that is just about pirates. There are many other types
of characters cast in this story, including slaves, former slaves, slavers, merchants, colonists,
American Indians, seamen and harlots; and--of course--the child who journeys to womanhood
while living among them, Annalea. The cast, and the variation of character types, grows in
proportion to the adventures presented in this novel. No, this is not a book about pirates. This is
a book about human nature and the consequences of politics on the individual's human
nature. Not the politics of governments and legislatures but rather those everyday things we do to influence those we interact with--whether to persuade,
assuage or control them.
This novel brings to life the people who were considered the nonconformists, the social outcasts
and the undesirables of a European dominated world, which connected the Americas and Europe
through colonialism and the slave trade. This story moves through the early eighteenth century,
and across England, Africa, the West Indies and the colonies of North America. Annalea, a
young innocent who would normally live a sheltered, structured and uneventful life, is placed by
circumstance in a multiracial, multicultural environment where barriers of class and economics
are diminished. She is tutored by people whose nature was wrought on the anvil of affliction: human conditioning at the mercy of of others. The community which takes and nurtures this child is peopled by freebooters and other social outcasts. Due to this experience--and sharing the hazards that such people were subject to--Annalea becomes unusually cosmopoliton for an eighteenth century woman.More... |
