Captains Courageous de Rudyard Kipling

Captains Courageous

Autor Rudyard Kipling
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 ian 2018 – vârsta până la 12 ani
2018 Reprint of 1898 Edition. Protagonist Harvey Cheyne, Jr., is the son of a wealthy railroad magnate and his wife, in San Diego, California. Washed overboard from a transatlantic steamship and rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Harvey can neither persuade them to take him quickly to port, nor convince them of his wealth. Through a series of trials and adventures, Harvey, with the help of the captain's son Dan Troop, becomes acclimated to the fishing lifestyle, and even skillful. Eventually, the schooner returns to port and Harvey wires his parents, who immediately hasten to Boston, Massachusetts, and thence to the fishing town of Gloucester to recover him. There, Harvey's mother rewards the seaman Manuel, who initially rescued her son; Harvey's father hires Dan to work on his prestigious tea clipper fleet; and Harvey goes to Stanford to prepare for taking over his father's shipping lines. Readers of all ages have delighted in Kipling's engaging maritime yarn since its initial appearance in 1897. The author's only novel to unfold in an American setting, this lively tale resounds with Kipling's customary blend of adventure and humor. It remains irresistible invitation to a master storyteller's enduring tale of a boy's initiation into adulthood.

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling(1865–1936) was born in Bombay, the son of an Anglo-Indian professor of architectural sculpture. There he was brought up in the care of “ayahs,” or native nurses, who taught him Hindustani and the native lore that always haunted his imagination and can be seen reflected inThe Jungle Books. At the age of six, he was sent to England to be educated and returned to India in 19=883 to embark on a career in journalism, writing the news stories as well as the tales and poems that began to make his reputation. After seven years, he went back to England, the literary star of the hour. He married an American and stayed in Vermont off and on from 1892 to 1894. Then he returned to the English countryside, where he remained, except for a few trips abroad, for the rest of his life. The author of innumerable stories and poems, Rudyard Kipling is best known forSoldiers Three(1888),The Light That Failed(1890),The Jungle Books(1894–95),Captains Courageous(1897),Stalky & Co.(1899),Kim(1901), andJust So Stories(1902). Among many other honors, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.
