Bag om Furze The Cruel (1908)

Furze The Cruel is a novel written by Ernest George Henham and originally published in 1908. The story is set in the 17th century and follows the life of a man named Furze, who is known for his cruelty and violent temper. Furze is a wealthy landowner who uses his power to oppress the people in his village and terrorize his family. He is particularly cruel to his wife, who he treats as a possession rather than a human being.As the story progresses, Furze's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and violent. He becomes obsessed with the idea of power and control and is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain his position in society. However, his actions eventually catch up with him, and he is forced to confront the consequences of his cruelty.The novel explores themes of power, control, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. It also offers a glimpse into life in 17th century England and the ways in which the wealthy and powerful could abuse their positions of authority. Overall, Furze The Cruel is a gripping and thought-provoking read that offers a stark warning about the dangers of unchecked power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
