Gevaren van Sommige Engelse Gevangenen

by Charles Dickens

This book, originally titled 'The Perils Of Certain English Prisoners' and published in 1857, tells the story of British prisoners held captive during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The narrative, though set in Central America on the Mosquito Coast, draws inspiration from the courageous acts of British women and children during the tumultuous events in India. This work highlights themes of survival, resilience, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
