Sinopse

The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows Billy Byrne, a violent street criminal from Chicago’s slums, who embraces his identity as a "mucker"—a thief, brawler, and outcast with only a code of loyalty to his own. After being falsely accused of murder, he is shanghaied onto a ship that hijacks a wealthy heiress, Barbara Harding. Initially brutal and defiant, Byrne begins to change when confronted by Barbara’s courage and moral strength. A storm wrecks the ship; he saves lives, rescues her from cannibal headhunters, and protects her in the jungle. Wounded and isolated, he falls in love, learns to read and speak with dignity, and sacrifices himself to save her father and fiancé. Believing him dead, Barbara mourns—until, months later, they reunite. Though love remains, Billy chooses honor over happiness, refusing to disrupt her world. A powerful tale of redemption, class, and self-sacrifice, The Mucker is Burroughs’ rawest, most human story.

Virginibus Puerisque (Unabridged)

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Virginibus Puerisque: With the single exception of Falstaff, all Shakespeare's characters are what we call marrying men. Mercutio, as he was own cousin to Benedick and Biron, would have come to the same end in the long run. Even Iago had a wife, and, what is far stranger, he was jealous. People like Jacques and the Fool in LEAR, although we can hardly imagine they would ever marry, kept single out of a cynical humour or for a broken heart, and not, as we do nowadays, from a spirit of incredulity and preference for the single state. For that matter, if you turn to George Sand's French version of AS YOU LIKE IT (and I think I can promise you will like it but little), you will find Jacques marries Celia just as Orlando marries Rosalind.
