Over dit boek

This historical novel by John Buchan follows the life story of the fictional John Burnet, born in 1666 in the Scottish Borders. Presented as an autobiography, the book details Burnet's adventures and experiences through his own narration. As a relative of the renowned historian Gilbert Burnet, John crosses paths with important figures and events in late 17th century Scotland and England. He faces drama and intrigue as he navigates the political and religious turmoil of the era. Buchan aims to bring this tumultuous period of British history to life through the eyes of the fictional Burnet. This gripping first-person narrative transports readers back in time over three centuries to witness a nation in upheaval through the life of one Scottish man.
