Sinossi

In "Andy Grant's Pluck," Horatio Alger Jr. weaves an inspiring narrative of resilience and determination through the life of a young boy who rises from poverty to success. Alger's characteristic style'Äîmarked by its clear, optimistic prose and engaging dialogue'Äîserves to illustrate moral fortitude and the quintessential 'rags-to-riches' theme emblematic of late 19th-century American literature. The book, set in an era of burgeoning opportunity, offers a vivid snapshot of the socio-economic dynamics of the time, showcasing how sheer will and hard work can pave the way for upward mobility. Horatio Alger Jr. was a product of the Victorian era, deeply influenced by its values of industriousness and self-reliance. His own experiences with poverty and his later successes as a writer greatly shaped his narrative approach. Through his works, Alger sought to instill hope and exemplify the American Dream, encouraging young readers, particularly those from modest backgrounds, to believe in their potential to overcome obstacles. "Andy Grant's Pluck" is a must-read for anyone interested in the themes of ambition and perseverance, as well as for fans of classic American literature. Its timeless message continues to resonate, making it a relevant and motivational read for contemporary audiences seeking inspiration in their own journeys.

    Lyrics & Lines by "Carolus"

    Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost. 
    Love, Humour, Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner.  
     Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "..a poetaster".  
    Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.
