Sinopse

In Mary Mapes Dodge's 'Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates,' readers are immersed in a richly woven narrative set against the backdrop of 19th-century Holland. The story follows the titular character, a young boy from a humble background, and his dreams of glory as he prepares for the National Ice-Skating Race. Dodge's prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and lyrical quality, capturing the frigid beauty of the Dutch landscape while simultaneously exploring themes of perseverance, honor, and the spirit of competition. The book serves as a bridge between Victorian sensibilities and the burgeoning realism of the time, showcasing cultural motifs unique to Dutch society through the eyes of its youthful protagonists. Mary Mapes Dodge, an influential figure in American children's literature, was deeply affected by her European roots and exposure to various cultures. Her vision of creating a captivating narrative that combines entertainment with moral lessons stemmed from her childhood experiences and her desire to instill values in the young readers of her time. Dodge was also an advocate for youth, which guided her in crafting a relatable and inspiring hero in Hans, as well as fostering a spirit of adventure and growth. 'Hans Brinker' is a timeless tale that appeals to both children and adults alike, presenting not only a captivating story but also an exploration of the importance of integrity and familial bonds. I highly recommend this beloved classic for its ability to transport readers to another time and place while simultaneously resonating with universal themes of hope and aspiration.

    Attraction is measured not only by how a man appears, but also by his confidence and strength. Women tend to favor the cognitive aspect of attraction over the physical one when choosing a partner. Men are afraid to embrace their masculinity because they think it involves aggression, when that is incorrect, and they think acting aggressively is what attracts women. Women are attracted to men who can solve problems in more sophisticated ways rather than using violence. 
    Women do favor a muscular physical appearance over an unfit one, because it shows a man is healthy and hard-working, which are desirable traits. In addition to muscularity, working out has lots of benefits such as boosting your immune system and increasing bone density. 
    When choosing a hairstyle, pick one that looks good and that you feel good about. Short to medium hair is recommended, as long hair tends to require lots of grooming and makes you look feminine. Going bald in no way means that you are no longer attractive. Bald men are often seen as more masculine than men with hair, and they consistently are ranked higher in terms of attractiveness. Women also view having facial hair as intriguing and sexy. Facial hair is correlated with masculinity and maturity, as well as high levels of dominance and assertiveness. Having facial hair is the equivalent of a peacock fanning out its feathers to attract a mate. 
    According to a study published in the British Journal of Urology, penis sizes vary ever so slightly, aside from the extremely large and extremely small, which are exceptions to the rule. Women tend to favor an average size penis over a larger one.

    No animal can ask questions about God, but humans can. Dogs may go to a temple or eat the remnants of sanctified food, but their capacity to understand and relish spiritual life is limited. Humans have the rare opportunity in this life to experience the divine gift of God consciousness. 
    Our beloved teacher and spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda explains that this Kṛṣṇa or God consciousness is sublime and everyone can take part in it. The process is simple. Simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare one can experience spiritual bliss. One can chant and dance in ecstasy with this Maha-Mantra, the great chant for deliverance and even a dog can take part in it. 
    In the spiritual texts of Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta (Adi 10.1-2) it is said: 
    “Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If even a doggish non-devotee somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower.” 
    In the purport it is explained: 
    “Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s saṅkīrtana movement is so strong that even a doglike non-devotee can gradually become a devotee by the association of a devotee of Lord Caitanya. Śrīla Śivānanda Sena, a great householder devotee of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, attracted a dog on the street while going to Jagannātha Purī. The dog began to follow him and ultimately went to see Caitanya Mahāprabhu and was liberated. Similarly, cats and dogs in the household of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura were also liberated. Cats and dogs and other animals are not expected to become devotees, but in the association of a pure devotee they are also delivered.”
