| Summary | "Merihaukka" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sir Oliver Tressilian, a complex character who navigates the treacherous waters of love, rivalry, and ambition in Cornwall. As tensions rise with other key characters, including Peter Godolphin and Rosamund Godolphin, the plot sets the stage for a drama filled with intrigue and personal conflict. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sir Oliver Tressilian, a young knight enjoying the comforts of his home and contemplating his pursuit of Rosamund Godolphin. However, a visit from Peter Godolphin reveals a bitter rivalry, rooted in past family grievances and accusations of Oliver being a "pirate" and "bloodsucker." As confrontations escalate, Oliver's pride and determination lead him to challenge Sir John Killigrew, the one who sparked the conflict with his slander, prompting a fierce duel. This opening portion establishes the historical context and the interplay of personal relationships that define the trajectory of the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
