Sinopsis

In "What Happened at Quasi," George Cary Eggleston masterfully weaves a narrative that merges elements of fiction and social commentary, reflecting the complexities of human relationships and societal norms of his time. Set against the backdrop of Quasi, a fictional yet relatable milieu, the novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. Eggleston employs a vivid and engaging prose style, characterized by rich descriptions and nuanced dialogue, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the intricacies of late 19th-century American life. Eggleston, an influential figure in American literature, was not only a novelist but also a historian and journalist, whose diverse experiences deeply informed his writing. Born into a family with strong ties to the literary world, he cultivated a keen understanding of the societal currents and historical contexts that shaped his narratives. His firsthand observations and reflections on the changing dynamics of American society undoubtedly influenced the creation of Quasi, where personal and public spheres intersect in profound ways. I wholeheartedly recommend "What Happened at Quasi" to readers interested in an evocative exploration of character and society. Eggleston'Äôs adept blending of storytelling with societal critique provides a thought-provoking reading experience, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate literary works that resonate with both emotional depth and intellectual rigor.

    The brand new epic adventure from bestselling author JC Duncan! Must-read for Bernard Cornwell, Peter Gibbons and Matthew Harffy ⚔️ 
    Sworn to serve the empire, cursed to decide its fate. 
    1041 AD, Constantinople 
    The Byzantine empire is fading. Sick with corruption and complacency that paralyses its once mighty people, assailed from within and without by those who seek to feast upon its riches. 
    The emperor is dying, the empress is ageing, and rebellion threatens in the heart of their homelands. The last hope of the eternal empire might lie with a disgraced foreign mercenary. 
    Harald Hardrada fears nothing but failure or dishonour. For eight years he has faithfully served the heirs of Caesar, but has failed in his goal to earn the riches and reputation he needs to reclaim the throne of Norway. 
    Empress Zoe makes Harald one final offer to save both of their ambitions: He can have all the riches and glory that he desires, if he breaks his oaths and delivers the empire into her grasp. Is Harald the man of his word or will he bend to the empress’s ruthless demands?
