Overview
The Bondman is a historical novel written by Hall Caine, first published in 1890. The story takes place in the 17th century on the Isle of Man, where a young man named Gell is born into a family of slaves. Despite his lowly status, Gell is intelligent and ambitious, and he dreams of one day being free and owning his own land.As he grows older, Gell becomes involved in a rebellion against the island's ruling class, led by a charismatic leader named Christian. Gell quickly rises through the ranks of the rebellion, becoming one of Christian's most trusted advisors. However, as the rebellion gains momentum, Gell finds himself torn between his loyalty to Christian and his growing love for Christian's daughter, Mona.As the rebellion reaches its climax, Gell must make a fateful decision that will determine the fate of himself, his family, and the entire island. The Bondman is a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and freedom, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in Manx history.1928. From the Note: The central date of this story (a Saga in the only sense accepted among Icelanders) is 1800, when Iceland, in the same year as Ireland, lost the last visible sign of her ancient independence as a nation. But lest the historical incidents that stand as a background to simple human passions should seem to clash at some points, I hasten to say that I have not thought it wise to bind myself to the strict chronology of history, Manx or Icelandic, for some years before and after. I am partly conscious that the Iceland I have described is the Iceland of an earlier era, but Icelanders will not object to the license if I have brought within my too narrow limits much of what is beautiful and noble and firing to enthusiasms in their old habits, customs, and laws.
