翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク A Place Called Freedom ： ウィキペディア英語版 A Place Called Freedom ''A Place Called Freedom'' is a work of historical fiction by Ken Follett. Set in 1767, it follows the adventures of an idealistic young coal miner from Scotland who believes there must be more to life than working down the pit. The miner, Mack McAsh, eventually runs away in order to find work and a new life in London. Eventually McAsh becomes a leader amongst the working classes of the city and becomes a target for those vested interest groups who do not share his point of view. McAsh is framed for a crime he did not commit and sent to serve seven years hard labour in the colony of Virginia where he is forced to find a new life. ==Historical events from the novel== The novel initially deals with subject of the Payment of Arles, a form of serfdom for miners in the 18th century which meant that once a miner started work in a coal mine he was bound to the mine for the rest of his life.〔(Working conditions of coal miners in the 18th century )〕 It was a custom for the master or landowner of the mine to give a gift to parents at the time of a child's baptism. The gift would then bind the child to work alongside the parents when they came of age.〔(Mining Institute | Slavery in the coal mines of Scotland )〕 In London the novel places McAsh at the center of the discontent of 1768 which saw working people become dissatisfied with a higher cost of living and poor wages. McAsh had become the leader of a gang of coal heavers, one of many such gangs of men who had the job of physically unloading the coal barges when they came into the city. The discontent eventually led to riots and unrest across the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=4. Tyranny is Tyranny )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The London Hanged )〕 After being caught in the middle of a riot, McAsh is captured and sentenced to transportation to America, a form of punishment which was often seen as an effective alternative to the death penalty during that period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crime and Justice - Punishments at the Old Bailey - Central Criminal Court )〕 Once arriving in the then colony of Virginia McAsh is made to work as a field hand before escaping to the West. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Place Called Freedom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
