  • The Chain of Gold: A Tale of Adventure on the West Coast of Ireland

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, May 9, 2016)
    About the Book The action and adventure genre in fiction depicts events or a series of events that happen outside the ordinary course of the protagonist's daily life, generally accompanied by dangerous episodes and physical action. Adventure stories are quick moving, with the pace of the plot being a critical component of mood setting. Action and adventure have been common book themes since the earliest days of fiction writing. In fact, the plots of Medieval romances were comprised of a series of adventures. Action / adventure fiction often overlaps with other genres, such as: war novels, crime novels, sea stories, Robinsonades, and spy stories. Also in this Book Our titles on adventurers and explorers present the lives and exploits of people who explored or travelled the world in a pioneering way. These include naturalists, sailors, mountain climbers, dog sledders, swimmers, pilots, and underwater explorers. Their activities had profound effects on the dissemination of religion, agricultural techniques, cultural values, disease, and the establishment of colonies throughout the world.

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 21, 2018)
    Excerpt from The Chain of Gold: A Tale of Adventure on the West Coast of IrelandI never rightly slept, and never without dreams, dreams usually of an unwelcome nature.As I dreamed now, the jar which I had been handling just before continued to appear and re-appear in my dreams, greatly increased in size. Then it seemed to me that there were people imprisoned in it, who passionately cried to me to liberate them. The voices that cried out seemed to me to be the voices of boys. I awoke with a start and sprang to my feet, trembling violently. But for this apparently grotesque and foolish vision the present story would never have been written. This fantastic dream was for me the beginning of a new life, the first link in a chain Of events which have formed for me the strangest experience which I have ever met with.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
