Więcej o książce
The Hidden Hand (1888) is an exuberant action comedy, whose heroine is the fearless Capitola Black, a self-styled female Don Quixote, and the prototype of innumerable adventure heroines. Rescued from life on the streets in New York by a southern plantation owner, Capitola is too active and adventurous to settle for the life of a southern belle. Besides, the neighbourhood is infested with evil-doers: Black Donald, the notorious bandit, and Gabriel Le Noir, the owner of the adjoining plantation, combine to make her life full of excitement and peril. Serialized three times by popular demand before appearing in book form, this immensely popular novel exudes irresistible high spirits and the appeal that enchanted readers on both sides of the Atlantic.
