Synopsis

In "Brave and Bold; Or, The Fortunes of Robert Rushton," Horatio Alger Jr. presents a quintessential rags-to-riches narrative emblematic of the late 19th-century American literary landscape. This novel follows the journey of a determined young boy, Robert Rushton, whose resilience and moral fortitude ultimately lead him to success in a society often characterized by stark class disparities. Through Alger's distinctive style, characterized by didactic prose and vivid characterizations, the text epitomizes themes of perseverance, virtue, and the inherent belief in the American Dream. Horatio Alger Jr. emerged as a prominent figure in the children's literature genre, drawing inspiration from his own modest upbringing and the societal shifts occurring during industrialization in America. His experiences as a minister and his encounters with the struggles of young boys navigating adversity imbued his narratives with a deep sense of empathy and understanding. Alger's passion for uplifting youth and showcasing their potential made him a pivotal voice in instilling values of hard work and integrity in young readers. "Brave and Bold" is not merely a children's tale; it serves as an inspiring testament to the power of tenacity and the transformative impact of choices. Readers seeking to explore themes of aspiration and moral development will find Alger's work both enriching and timeless. This seminal text remains a fascinating exploration of personal ambition in the context of American societal values.

    This is the Māori language edition of Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod. The book recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.
