A Message from the Sea (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169190795)

A Message From The Sea is a novella written by the renowned English author, Charles Dickens. The story follows the lives of two brothers, Alfred and George, who are separated by a tragic event that occurred during their childhood. Alfred becomes a wealthy merchant and lives in London, while George becomes a sailor and travels the world. One day, George sends a message in a bottle to his brother, which is found by a young woman named Grace. The message contains a plea for help, as George is stranded on a deserted island. Grace and Alfred set out to rescue George, and along the way, they encounter a variety of characters, including a mysterious woman named Mrs. Atherfield and a group of smugglers. As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and the characters must confront their pasts in order to move forward. A Message From The Sea is a tale of adventure, mystery, and family, and is considered to be one of Dickens' lesser-known works.Here the captain sat down on the foot of the bed, and glancing at a dreadful libel on Kitty which ornamented the wall, --the production of some wandering limner, whom the captain secretly admired as having studied portraiture from the figure-heads of ships, --motioned to the young man to take the rush-chair on the other side of the small round table. That done, the captain put his hand in the deep breast-pocket of his long-skirted blue coat, and took out of it a strong square case-bottle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
