內容簡介

Shackled is a true story based on the 1846 memoir of Joseph Lingard who, eleven years before was falsely charged, tried and sentenced to be transported to New South Wales. His dreadful experiences and graphic descriptions, first as a convict confined on a prison hulk for nearly two years and then a five month long voyage on a prison ship leaves a lasting impression on the reader. His life and adventures in Australia, completing his sentence, and as a free man travelling around the country for two years before working his passage back to England, makes for fascinating reading.

 

作者簡介

Denys Lingard was brought up in Cheshire and was educated at Stockport Grammar School. Resisting family pressure to read Law he approached the editor of a local newspaper whom he persuaded to appoint him as a junior reporter until he was called up into the RAF and ’demobbed’ in 1949. New opportunities beckoned in London and he absorbed courses on sales, sales management and the then new concept of marketing. He became national sales manager of quoted company in his thirties and a director before forty. When this company was taken over by a large multi-national organisation his responsibilities grew and his work then entailed a good deal of international travel. His first novel - a mystery thriller "The Beautiful Obsession" was first published in 2012.
