Beschreibung

In "Frank Hunter's Peril," Horatio Alger Jr. weaves a captivating tale of perseverance and moral fortitude, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century America. The narrative follows young Frank Hunter, a spirited and industrious boy whose journey from adversity to success epitomizes Alger's trademark themes of hard work, integrity, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Employing a straightforward yet engaging literary style, Alger crafts a story that is both accessible and morally instructive, inviting readers to contemplate issues of social justice and individual agency within the growing industrial landscape of the time. Horatio Alger Jr., an iconic figure in American literature, was deeply influenced by his own life experiences, which included overcoming personal hardships and the societal inequalities of his era. Born in 1832, Alger's commitment to depicting the trials and triumphs of young boys reflected his belief in the possibility of upward mobility through persistent effort. His works often served as a reflection of the challenges faced by the youth of his time, resonating with an audience eager for tales of hope and success. "Frank Hunter's Peril" stands as a vital contribution to the genre of young adult literature, offering valuable lessons on resilience and morality. I wholeheartedly recommend this book not only for its rich storytelling but also for its inspirational message, which remains relevant to readers of all ages today.

    Paris in the 1960s caters for every taste, and nowhere more than at the private "clinic" run by the enigmatic Monsieur Datt on Avenue Foch, which supplies psychedelic drugs and sexual favors to the city's elite—all the while secretly filming guests in order to blackmail them. Into this decadent underworld steps a bespectacled British spy. Sent on what seems like a simple mission, he soon finds himself playing a game where the rules are unknown—and even victory could be fatal.

    "Notes from Underground" (sometimes translated as "Notes from the Underground" or "Letters from the Underworld") is a novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, first published in 1864. It is often considered one of the first existentialist novels. The work is divided into two parts: the first is a rambling monologue by an unnamed narrator, often referred to as the "underground man", who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. This monologue is a bitter critique of utopianism, rational egoism, and utilitarianism. The second part of the novella, titled "Apropos of the Wet Snow", recounts episodes from the narrator's life that exemplify his philosophical arguments.

    Nick Turnhouse is now a senior captain, some two thirds of the way up the List, perhaps as little as five years short of automatic promotion to Rear Admiral. As such, he must accept more responsibility, and he will be expected to offer more than blind obedience to his orders. It is time to replace Bloody Nick with Sir Nicholas.

    After four years on the bloody battlefields of Europe during World War II, Army Staff Sergeant Mark Shaw returns home to Arizona with nothing but the hope of living a quiet existence and chasing the sunset on horseback forevermore. Scarred by the war in the way only a soldier who has been on the front lines can be, his every step is haunted by the rattle of machine guns, the roar of artillery, and the screams of dying friends and comrades. 
     
     
     
    The homecoming he receives upon his return, though, is nothing like what he'd hoped for—a wife who couldn't wait for him in an America that has become almost unrecognizable in his absence. Shattered by her betrayal, Mark gives up on love, life, and the possibility of ever finding the peace he longs for. 
     
     
     
    Life is not quite done with Mark, however. While he throws himself into the backbreaking work of building a ranch, fate takes a hand, first in the form of Alma Cornbird, a Pima woman, then in the guise of a beautiful rodeo queen named Julie Wright. Both women are determined not to let him slip further into isolation and despair, and both leave their mark upon him. With their help, the violent afterimages of the war begin to fade, and life blooms again from the hollow shell it left behind. The only thing he lacks is the right horse on which to chase that sunset once more.
