Book Overview

Riallaro: The Archipelago of Exiles is a novel written by Godfrey Sweven and published in 1901. The story takes place in a fictional archipelago called Riallaro, which is inhabited by a group of exiles who have been banished from their respective countries for various reasons. The main character is a young man named Philip, who arrives on Riallaro after being shipwrecked. He quickly becomes embroiled in the political and social struggles of the exiles, who are divided into two factions: the ""Old Party"" and the ""New Party."" The Old Party is led by a charismatic leader named Zephyrin, who believes in preserving the traditional ways of Riallaro and keeping the exiles isolated from the outside world. The New Party, on the other hand, is led by a young woman named Eileen, who believes in modernizing Riallaro and establishing connections with other countries. As Philip becomes more involved in the conflict between these two factions, he begins to uncover secrets about the history of Riallaro and the true nature of the exiles' exile. The novel touches on themes of colonialism, nationalism, and the clash between tradition and modernity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
