Poldark is a long saga started by beloved author Wiston Graham, who devoted most of his life to these characters and their fascinating histories.
Started in 1945 the saga was completed in 2002. After decades of interruptions, the idea of continuing the saga re-appeared in the mind of Graham in 1973.
These first set of books portray the XVIII century, the XIX the second part.
Everything starts with Ross Poldark. He fought during the Independence War in the US and once returned home he discovered that his belle has decided to marry one of his cousins, thinking that he was not anymore alive.
This fact was devastating for Ross although he will re-start a new beginning marrying, at the end, a servant.
In this book La Furia della Marea published by Marsilio Ross continues to experience relationship problems, although at the same time he become a member of the Parliament. He would want with all himself to re-start from the beginning everything with her wife but a playboy will try to steal the heart of Ross's wife. Poldark in this case won't forgive him at all!
But also Elizabeth, the first love of Ross is tormented. She thinks that her son is the fruit of her clandestine relationship with Ross.
The story is more complicated with many other characters involved in betrayels, sufferances.
If you are a romantic spirit this book is for you. If you dream of stories lost in the time, this reading is perfect.
Highly recommended.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
