Publisher's Synopsis

Twice Bought is a novel written by R.M. Ballantyne. The story revolves around a young man named Jack, who is sold into slavery by his uncle. Jack is bought by a wealthy Arab merchant, who takes him to his home in Morocco. Jack is forced to work hard and endure many hardships, but he eventually gains the trust and respect of his master. However, Jack is sold again to a cruel slave trader, who mistreats him and forces him to work in terrible conditions. Jack manages to escape and makes his way back to England, where he is reunited with his family. The novel explores themes of slavery, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. It is a gripping tale that will captivate readers of all ages.How long Tolly Trevor remained in a state of horrified surprise no one can tell, for he was incapable of observation at the time, besides being alone. On returning to consciousness he found himself galloping towards the exploded fortress at full speed, and did not draw rein till he approached the bank of the rivulet. Reflecting that a thoroughbred hunter could not clear the stream, even in daylight, he tried to pull up, but his horse refused. It had run away with him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
