Sinopse

In "The Young Book Agent; or, Frank Hardy's Road to Success," Horatio Alger crafts a compelling narrative that exemplifies the classic rags-to-riches motif emblematic of his oeuvre. This novel follows young Frank Hardy, a tenacious book agent, as he navigates the challenges of youth, ambition, and moral integrity in a rapidly industrializing America. Alger's accessible prose and keen focus on the virtues of perseverance, hard work, and ethical conduct reflect the optimism of the late 19th century, emphasizing the belief that anyone can achieve success through determination and moral rectitude, despite social and economic obstacles. Horatio Alger Jr., a prominent figure in American literature, dedicated his career to portraying the struggles and triumphs of young men striving for success against all odds. Born in 1832 and experiencing a diverse range of careers, including teaching and writing, Alger was deeply influenced by the socio-economic shifts of his time. His own experiences of hardship and the shifting American landscape motivated him to inspire hope and ambition in his youthful audience, encapsulating the American Dream in his narratives. This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in the American literary tradition of optimism and self-improvement. Alger's engaging storytelling and timeless themes resonate with readers of all ages, providing not just entertainment but also valuable lessons about resilience, morality, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.

Could you survive alone, for 2 months at sea in a dugout canoe? 
In 1846, James Morrill survived a shipwreck on Australia’s north coast. Though the young sailor was then embraced by the local Indigenous community, in Modern-Day Castaway, Michael Atkinson asks, ‘Could James have built a vessel and made the perilous journey to a historic rescue haven in the Torres Strait?’ 
With the cyclone season fast approaching, Alone Australia contestant and solo adventurer, Mike Atkinson, sets sail on an extraordinary 1500-kilometre journey to the northern tip of Australia. His aim: to live entirely off the land and sea. 
As malnourishment drains his body, Mike navigates his failing dugout canoe through the treacherous waters of the Great Barrier Reef, and along the wild and unforgiving coastline of Cape York. From crocodile defence tactics, to calamitous canoe failure, to fishing with adapted Indigenous tools, Modern-Day Castaway journals Mike’s epic struggle for survival. 
This is a truly unique book. A cross between Tom Hanks Castaway (although this story is real, not fiction!), a genuine shipwrecked sailor’s tale and Mike’s awe-inspiring journey of discovery.
