Beschreibung

In Horatio Alger Jr.'s seminal work, "Tony the Tramp; Or, Right is Might," readers are invited into the world of a young boy named Tony, whose journey from the streets to a life of respectability encapsulates the quintessential American Dream of the late 19th century. With a literary style that is both accessible and richly laden with moral lessons, the narrative employs a didactic approach, emphasizing virtues such as perseverance, kindness, and integrity amidst the trials of urban poverty. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing America, the book addresses themes of social mobility and the intrinsic worth of individuals, categorically rejecting the constraints of class and circumstance. Horatio Alger Jr., famously regarded as a pioneer of the 'rags-to-riches' genre, wrote during a period when American society was grappling with significant economic challenges and social change. Born into a respectable New England family, Alger's experiences as a teacher and clergyman imbued him with a keen understanding of moral philosophy and a passion for uplifting the downtrodden, infusing his narratives with hope and resilience. "Tony the Tramp; Or, Right is Might" is not only an engaging tale for young readers but also a profound commentary on the potential for self-improvement and societal change. Its timeless themes continue to resonate, making it an essential read for anyone interested in American literature, social justice, or the enduring quest for a better life.

    From New York Times best-selling author Michelle Knudsen comes a pitch-perfect fantasy about adolescent girlhood—navigating friendship and trust, owning your gifts, and becoming the hero of your own story. 
      
    Eleven-year-old Bevvy spends her time avoiding other kids, playing with her neighbor’s kittens, and escaping into her fantasy novels. When new girl Cat arrives at school, Bevvy thinks she may finally have found a friend, until Cat provokes Bevvy’s worst tormentor and leaves her alone to deal with the consequences. Later, on Bevvy’s doorstep, Cat’s apology is cut short when a car with dark windows rolls up. Bolting into a nearby wood with Bevvy in tow, Cat proceeds to open a hole, in the air, just in time. Bevvy knows magic when she sees it, the kind in books, but the world the girls escape to—teeming with unicorns, sorcerers, and dragons—is shockingly, exhilaratingly real. It’s a world at war. Those who wield wild magic, in tune with nature, are pitted against dark sorcerers. As Bevvy’s role in the struggle grows, and her confidence with it, can she trust Cat to support her? Can she trust herself not to run? An acclaimed author builds a breathtaking and emotionally resonant world where magic and monsters are real and friendship and risk go hand in hand.
