Description

The Blockade Runners by Jules Verne is a gripping novella that explores the complexities of war and loyalty during the American Civil War. Set against the backdrop of Scotland and the southern states, the story follows James Playfair as he navigates a treacherous web of trade and captivity. As the blockade tightens, Playfair must make a choice between risking everything to rescue a prisoner or securing a vital cargo of cotton. With tensions escalating, the fate of those involved hangs in the balance. Translated from Verne's original work, Les Forceurs de Blocus (1871), this edition offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
