Book Overview

The Weavers: A Tale of England and Egypt of Fifty Years Ago V2 is a book written by Gilbert Parker. It is part of a series of works by the author and tells the story of a group of weavers in England and Egypt fifty years ago. The book explores the lives of these weavers and the challenges they faced in their daily lives. It also delves into the cultural differences between England and Egypt during that time period. The story is set against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution and the growing British Empire. Overall, The Weavers is a compelling tale of human struggle and perseverance in the face of adversity.1913. Part Sixteen of Eighteen Volumes. Contains Volume II of this work. Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. The Weavers is based on the author's travels to Egypt and is set in the last days of Ismail Pasha. The novel represents a wider outlook of life, closer understanding of the problems which perplex society, and a clearer view of the verities than any previous book written by the author.
