Описание:

Herein is the tale of Doctor Syn, a swashbuckling smuggler who ferried brandy and tobacco from the French countryside to Romney Marsh in southeast England.

The titular character is no ordinary sea dog; educated at Oxford University, he lives incognito as a clergyman, respected in his parish as a gentle and affable man of faith. However, circumstances and revelations unveil his shocking past as a pirate and smuggler, with the resulting ructions a catalyst for the scrapes which follow.

The story of Doctor Syn has some basis in reality; the high taxation which France levied upon luxury goods such as alcoholic spirits and tobacco in the 18th century led to a lively and active smuggling culture across the English Channel. The trade in untaxed products was so lucrative that local militias and even detachments of Kents army facilitated its continuation. It is with a combination of quick-wittedness and guile that Syn originally gained expertise at the pirating life; in equal measure, he uses such social gifts to lay low long term as a humble vicar.

This book is but the first in a classic series of adventure books featuring Doctor Syn, a character riven with complexity who made Russell Thorndike one of the most popular fiction authors of the early 20th century.

Описание: "Doctor Syn on the High Seas" is a 1936 novel by British writer Arthur Thorndike. The second in the Doctor Syn series, it tells the story of how a young clergyman called Christopher Syn loses his wife to a seducer and his consequent quest for vengeance. Arthur Russell Thorndike (1885 - 1972) was a British actor and novelist, most famous for his 'Doctor Syn of Romney Marsh' series of novels. Other notable works by this author include: 'Children of the Garter' (1937), "The Slype" (1927), and "The Master of the Macabre" (1946). Contents include: "Doctor Syn Meets Minister Mipps," "Doctor Syn Becomes a Squire of Dames," "Doctor Syn Escapes," "The Challenge," "The Abduction," "The Duel," "The Friend of the Family," "The Elopement," "The Dead Man," "The Odyssey Begins," "Pirates," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
