Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Circassian Chief: A Romance of Russia" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds along the wild roads of Russia during a time when travel was fraught with danger and adventure. The plot follows two young horsemen, Thaddeus and Ivan, who find themselves embroiled in a series of events that challenge their beliefs and morals, particularly around issues of tyranny and liberty. The opening of this tale introduces Thaddeus and Ivan on a journey to Tver, where they excitedly anticipate military engagement. Their camaraderie is tested when they encounter a Gipsy maiden being kidnapped, leading them into a fierce altercation to rescue her. Thaddeus displays a cavalier attitude towards war and personal honor, while Ivan, deeply principled, is vehemently against oppressing free peoples. This clash sets the stage for their character development and unfolding drama as they navigate identity, loyalty, and the sociopolitical landscape of Russia, which promises a rich narrative ahead.
