Produktinformationen "The Cup of Gold"
“A storm-borne tale of ambition, conquest, and the shadowed cost of glory.” Before The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck launched his literary career with a dazzling, swashbuckling novel that seethes with passion, piracy, and the hunger for immortality. Cup of Gold is the epic and haunting story of Henry Morgan, a restless Welshman who abandons his quiet homeland in pursuit of fame, fortune, and legend on the high seas. Drawn by whispers of the infamous "Cup of Gold"—the rumored wealth and beauty of Panama’s golden city and its mysterious woman—Morgan becomes a pirate king, forging his name in blood and fire. But as the spoils grow and enemies fall, so too does the line between triumph and torment, as Morgan must confront the aching emptiness behind his conquests. Steinbeck’s debut blends lyrical prose and psychological depth with high adventure and historical drama, offering a richly imagined portrait of a man chasing greatness—and the ruin it can bring. Cup of Gold is a forgotten gem: darkly romantic, boldly written, and utterly intoxicating.
