Sinopse

In "Dick Hamilton's Touring Car; Or, A Young Millionaire's Race For A Fortune," Howard Roger Garis masterfully captures the exuberant spirit of early 20th-century America through the eyes of a young millionaire, Dick Hamilton. The narrative is infused with adventure and excitement, reflecting the era's fascination with automobiles and the emerging culture of youth and wealth. Garis employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style that appeals to both young readers and adults, intertwining themes of ambition, friendship, and the moral dilemmas faced by the affluent in pursuit of their fortunes. Howard Roger Garis (1873-1939) was a prolific author best known for his contributions to children's literature and adventure stories. His background in journalism and his keen observation of society during an era of rapid technological change likely informed his portrayal of the quintessential American young adult. Garis often infused his characters with an entrepreneurial spirit, mirroring his own values, and emphasizing the importance of hard work and integrity amidst the temptations of wealth. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the dynamics of wealth in a rapidly evolving society. Garis's work not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the responsibilities that accompany affluence, making it a captivating read for both young adults and nostalgic readers alike.

    Robinson Crusoe is an English adventure novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. Written with a combination of epistolary, confessional, and didactic forms, the book follows the title character (born Robinson Kreutznaer) after he is cast away and spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near the coasts of Venezuela and Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk,[2] a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra" (now part of Chile) which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966. Pedro Serrano is another real-life castaway whose story might have inspired the novel.
    
    The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and that the book was a non-fiction travelogue. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. Some allege it is a contender for the first English novel.
