Omschrijving

The Queen of Quelparte is a novel written by Archer Butler Hulbert in 1901. The story takes place on the remote island of Quelparte, which is located off the coast of Korea. The island is ruled by a queen named Okkyung, who is known for her beauty and her iron-fisted rule. The novel begins with the arrival of a young American, named John Latimer, who has come to Quelparte to study the island's unique culture and history. Latimer is immediately drawn to the queen, and he soon becomes embroiled in the island's politics and power struggles. As Latimer learns more about the queen and her kingdom, he discovers that there is more to her than meets the eye. Okkyung is a complex and multi-faceted character, who is both revered and feared by her subjects. She is also haunted by a dark secret from her past, which threatens to unravel her carefully constructed world. The Queen of Quelparte is a fascinating exploration of power, politics, and culture. Hulbert's vivid descriptions of the island and its people bring the story to life, and his nuanced portrayal of Okkyung adds depth and complexity to the narrative. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
