    The novella "Devil's Ford" was created by American poet and writer Bret Harte and first released in 1863. The Gold Rush era takes place in the made-up California hamlet of Devil's Ford, where the story is set. The town's rich gold resource is discovered, and this triggers a sudden flood of fortune seekers and a swift alteration of the local community. A miner named Roaring Camp serves as the main character. After her companion, Cherokee, passes away, she takes in a pregnant woman named Cherokee Sal. The arrival of a kid tempers the harsh environment of the mining camp, and Sal gives birth to a boy. While the community experiences prosperity due to the gold from Devil's Ford, it also draws the attention of dishonest people who are looking to make a lot of money. The story looks at issues of morality, greed, and the effects of unexpected fortune on individuals and groups. The plot twists and turns as the characters encounter difficulties and make decisions that expose their actual selves.

    One of the most fascinating short stories ¿The Bell-Ringer of Angel¿ was written by Bret Harte who was an American author and poet majorly known for his works set in the American West during the 19th century. The book was published in the late 19th century and unfolds a fictional town presented in California. The narrative of the book is framed in such a way that interconnects the significant elements of mystery, romance and human connection. The prime protagonist of the story is an enigmatic bell ringer named Salomy Jane. Throughout the book, the author beautifully presents the protagonist by capturing the attention of townsfolk due to her beauty and the lure of the melodies she produces. The introduction of a stranger, Yuba Bill makes the story more intriguing and uncovers a muster surrounded by the past. The complete story is a connection of several enigmatic and aesthetic themes of redemption, transformative power and forgiveness. Last but not least, the book is a blend of Western adventure elements and a nuanced exploration of complexities in the human heart.

    Francis Bret Harte (August 25, 1836 - May 5, 1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted, and admired.

    For some moments profound silence and darkness had accompanied a Sierran stage-coach towards the summit. The huge, dim bulk of the vehicle, swaying noiselessly on its straps, glided onward and upward as if obeying some mysterious impulse from behind, so faint and indefinite appeared its relation to the viewless and silent horses ahead. The shadowy trunks of tall trees that seemed to approach the coach windows, look in, and then move hurriedly away, were the only distinguishable objects. Yet even these were so vague and unreal that they might have been the mere phantoms of some dream of the half-sleeping passengers; for the thickly-strewn needles of the pine, that choked the way and deadened all sound, yielded under the silently-crushing wheels a faint soporific odor that seemed to benumb their senses, already slipping back into unconsciousness during the long ascent. Suddenly the stage stopped.

  • - "We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning."
    af Bret Harte
    213,95 kr.

    Francis Bret Harte was born on August 25, 1836 in Albany New York. As a young boy Harte developed an early love of books and reading. He first published at the tender age of 11; a satirical poem titled "Autumn Musings." Expecting praise he encountered anything but and was later to write "Such a shock was their ridicule to me that I wonder that I ever wrote another line of verse." By age 13 his formal education was at an end and four years later, in 1853, the family moved to California. Here the young man worked in a variety of capacities; miner, teacher, messenger, and journalist. But it was also here on the West coast that he found the stories and inspiration for the works that would endure his fame across the literary world. He championed the early writings of Mark Twain. He was instrumental in propelling the short story genre forward and brought tales of the Old West and the Gold Rush to a greater audience. At the height of his fame we would entertain staggering monetary offers to write for monthly magazines. His talents extended to poetry, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches. As he moved location initially further east to New York and then through Consular appointments to Europe and finally to settle in England his audience diminished but he continued to experiment, to write and to publish. Bret Harte died of throat cancer on May 5th 1902 and is buried in St Peter's Church in Frimley, Surrey, England. Here we publish another very fine collection of his short stories; "Frontier Stories".
