The Consul is a novel written by Richard Harding Davis. It is a story about a young American man named Robert Powys who is sent to a small South American country to become the American consul. Powys is a young and inexperienced man who is quickly thrown into the complex and dangerous world of international politics. He soon finds himself embroiled in a conflict between the country’s dictator and the rebels who are fighting against him. As he tries to navigate this treacherous landscape, Powys is forced to make difficult choices that will determine the fate of the country and its people. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful woman who is also caught up in the conflict. The Consul is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and political intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.Like a ghost, he searched for house after house, where once he had been made welcome, only to find in its place a towering office building. ''All had gone, the old familiar faces.'' In vain he scanned even the shop fronts for a friendly, homelike name. Whether the fault was his, whether he would better have served his own interests than those of his government, it now was too late to determine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
