Reid, Thomas Mayne
The Quadroon / Thomas Mayne Reid. — Kyiv : Znannia, 2016. — 383 p. — (English Library).
A high-spirited young man, charming beauties, faithful friends who are always ready to stand up for their honour and to come to each other’s relief, several disgusting scoundrels whom the main hero is compelled to fight with on his way to happiness — here is the circle of the characters that appear before the readers from the pages of Mayne Reid’s novel “The Quadroon". The book fascinates them with the novel's characters’ incredible adventures, intrigues, sometimes embarrasses and holds them in the strain from the first to the last page, and proves that clear feelings, loyalty, aspiration for justice are able to overcome all difficulties in a man’s life.
