Sinopse

From the award-winning, internationally best-selling author, a beguiling romp of a novel, at once intimate and panoramic, about the adventures and misadventures of a nineteenth-century everyman

"Picaresque, big-hearted and moving, this is Boyd at the top of his game."The Guardian

One man, many lives . . . Cashel Greville Ross experiences more of everything than most, from the rapturous to the devastating, from surprising good luck to unexpected loss. Born in 1799, Cashel seeks his fortune across the turbulence of multiple continents, from County Cork to rural Massachusetts, from Waterloo to Zanzibar, embedded with the East Indian Army in Sri Lanka, sunning himself alongside the Romantic poets in Pisa. He travels the world as a soldier, a farmer, a felon, a writer, even a father. And he experiences all the vicissitudes of existence, including a once-in-a-lifetime love that will haunt the rest of his days. In the end, his great accomplishment is to discover who he truly is—which is the romance of life itself, and the beating heart of The Romantic.

Resumo da Crítica

["“An absorbing tale.... Panoramic, transporting.... Engrossing.... Cashel Greville Ross [is] another of Boyd’s marvelous ‘whole life’ creations.... Throughout the book, Boyd is superb at integrating period detail.” —Charles Finch, New York Times Book Review

“A rambunctious, swashbuckling tale, told with panache by a master storyteller.... Surrender to this fine novel’s spell...it will vicariously supply more than enough thrills for anyone.” The Observer

“Boyd’s back, baby.... Pure, joyful escapism.” The Times
