Sinopse

In "Try Again; Or, the Trials and Triumphs of Harry West," Oliver Optic crafts a captivating narrative that intertwines adventure, perseverance, and moral lessons within the framework of 19th-century American youth literature. Through the trials faced by young Harry West, the novel not only explores themes of resilience and determination but also reflects the ideologies of self-improvement and diligence prevalent during the era. Optic employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style, making the text accessible while embedding deeper moral reflections that resonate with the aspirations of a budding American readership seeking both entertainment and ethical guidance. Oliver Optic, born William Taylor Adams, was a prolific writer and educator whose experiences as a teacher heavily influenced his literary themes. His commitment to promoting moral character and social responsibility through storytelling was shaped by his own struggles and triumphs during his formative years. Optic'Äôs background as a sailor and his fascination with adventure lend authenticity and vibrancy to Harry West'Äôs character, making the narrative rich with nautical imagery and ethical dilemmas reflective of Optic'Äôs own life and beliefs. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a classic tale that combines adventure with vital life lessons, appealing to both younger audiences and adults who appreciate literature that emphasizes the importance of resilience and moral integrity. "Try Again" serves not only as a thrilling story but also as a timeless reflection on human perseverance.

    Curse of the Blue Man by Lawrence M. Jannifer - He roamed the streets of the city at night, striking terror into the hearts of young girls... from his body a strange blue light glowed... in his hand was an iron bar, strained and crusted with blood 
    Jerome Black lay in bed with his eyes closed. He tried to remember the dream he had just had. It had something to with running, down a long corridor, or an alley, running away; there were others after him, and behind him the girl lay... she lay... 
    It was no use. The dream was already dissolving. And once it was gone, of course, it was usually gone for good. But there had been something unusual about this dream, something strange and important; and he wanted very badly to remember it. 
    After a few more minutes he gave up and his eyes. "Probably wasn't important anyhow," he muttered, and sat up in bed. 
    He looked down at his right hand. 
    The dream.
