Sinossi

In 'Now or Never; Or, The Adventures of Bobby Bright,' Oliver Optic crafts a vibrant tale that merges adventure and moral growth within the quintessential framework of American youth literature. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, the narrative follows young Bobby Bright, whose spirited ventures encapsulate both exhilarating escapades and life lessons. Optic employs a straightforward yet engaging style, catering to the educational values of the time while introducing themes of perseverance, personal integrity, and the pursuit of dreams, making it a cornerstone of juvenile literature during the post-Civil War era. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was an influential author of children's literature in the 19th century, known for his penchant for adventure and strong moral lessons. Growing up by the sea in Massachusetts, experiences in a naval setting fostered his fascination with maritime adventure, reflected in his narratives. Moreover, Optic'Äôs background in teaching and dedication to education directly influenced his writing, motivating him to inspire young readers to navigate their own journeys with courage and determination. 'Now or Never' is not merely a children's tale but a profound exploration of the trials of youth, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of American literature. It is a compelling invitation to reflect on the importance of timely decision-making, making it a valuable addition to any reader's collection.

    X Marks the Pedwalk by Fritz Leiber - This is how it all began—the terrible civil strife that devastates our world! 
    The raggedy little old lady with the big shopping bag was in the exact center of the crosswalk when she became aware of the big black car bearing down on her. 
    Behind the thick bullet-proof glass its seven occupants had a misty look, like men in a diving bell. 
    She saw there was no longer time to beat the car to either curb. Veering remorselessly, it would catch her in the gutter. 
    Useless to attempt a feint and double-back, such as any venturesome child executed a dozen times a day. Her reflexes were too slow. 
    Polite vacuous laughter came from the car's loudspeaker over the engine's mounting roar. 
    From her fellow pedestrians lining the curbs came a sigh of horror. 
    The little old lady dipped into her shopping bag and came up with a big blue-black automatic. She held it in both fists, riding the recoils like a rodeo cowboy on a bucking bronco. 
    Aiming at the base of the windshield, just as a big-game hunter aims at the vulnerable spine of a charging water buffalo over the horny armor of its lowered head, the little old lady squeezed off three shots...
