Yankee Pasha,
This review is from: Yankee Pasha : The Adventures of Jason Starbuck (Mass Market Paperback)
Yankee Pasha is an American legend, an American institution. Its prose is truly astonishing. There will be people that will speak to this novel as they have read it as a teenager. What cannot be denied is that this novel should be considered a masterpiece, a true titan in American literature. This novel is written in a language in which all will recognize and few will ever match. It is at the same time fast moving and profound, there are insights into human nature, the nature of man, an idealized version of man and women, what it means to be human, at the same time being an idealized and idolized version of an American hero. This novel in its span is truly amazing. Anyone, from a child to a distinguished and learned scholar, will rejoice in the language and the prose While simultaneously becoming engrossed in the story line. This story is fast moving, full of adventure, in a truly epic sense. It never fails in keeping the reader captivated, it is ever moving forward and constantly looking back. It has a rare balance of good fortune and irony while retaining a realistic quality very few classic American novels have ever realized, that will leave the reader breathless. Whether you are an accomplished reader or looking for a new read, this novel will leave none empty and many panting for more. Following some 6 years of life from Salem, Mass to Instanbul...its breadst and width is mind numbing. You will have insight into middle eastern culture and a first hand look at piracy on the high seas and what it means to be a mountain man..... are you ready for adventure? Are you ready for a love story that will bring you to tears? People will die, lovers will be lost, your very heart may be broken. But in the end you may be proud, for souls of this strength and intestinal fortitude truly live amongst us even today!
