Salute To Adventurers – hinnat ja saatavuus

Salute to Adventurers is a 1915 novel by John Buchan. John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir (1875-1940), was a Scottish novelist and a Unionist politician who served as Governor General of Canada. Buchan at rst entered into a career in law in 1901, but almost immediately moved into politics, becoming private secretary to British colonial administrator Alfred Milner, who was high commissioner for South Africa, Governor of Cape Colony and colonial administrator of Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Born in Perth, Scotland, Buchan was admitted to the University of Glasgow in 1892 to study classics. Much of Buchan's non- ction mirrored his circumstances: his time in South Africa resulted in The African Colony, the First World War led to a series of books about the war in general, and the Scottish and South African forces in particular. He interspersed his non- ction with further novels, and also wrote ten biographies and four volumes of poetry, as well as numerous articles and stories for magazines and journals. During the war he wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps, the novel which has been adapted for lm and television more than any of his other works. This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
