The Lighthouse - A Maritime Adventure of Dreams and Duty

R. M. Ballantyne

Beschreibung

R. M. Ballantyne'Äôs 'ÄòThe Lighthouse'Äô is a captivating maritime adventure that intertwines themes of solitude, survival, and the complexities of human nature. Set against the backdrop of a remote Scottish lighthouse, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of the young protagonist, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and moral fortitude amid the perilous storms that embody his physical and internal challenges. Ballantyne's vivid descriptions and detailed attention to nautical life serve not only as a thrilling chronicle but also as a reflection on the romantic ideals of the era, exploring the human spirit in the face of nature's indomitable forces. The novel represents a notable entry in Victorian literature, marked by its didactic tone and exploration of the hero's journey. R. M. Ballantyne was a Scottish author known for his children's literature, often drawing from his own experiences at sea and his deep appreciation for the natural world. Influenced by the Romantic movement, Ballantyne's works often convey a moral message, seamlessly blending adventure with instructive lessons. His familiarity with maritime life and rich storytelling made him a key figure in shaping the genre, allowing readers to witness the transformative power of the sea through nuanced characters. I highly recommend 'ÄòThe Lighthouse'Äô to readers interested in adventure narratives that challenge the human spirit. Its rich prose and compelling storyline offer not only entertainment but also a profound reflection on individual courage and resilience. This book will resonate with those who appreciate the intersection of adventure and moral inquiry, making it a timeless classic in the realm of literature.

The Missing Room

Lynn Venable

The Missing Room by Lynn Venable - It was a dream house; yet the dream could have been a nightmare... 
From the low cruising helicar, the cottage appeared charming. Lorinda gave a little exclamation of delight and exclaimed breathlessly, "Oh, that one, Dyke. Please, we must look at that one.” 
The helicar was only about a hundred feet from the ground, and they could easily see the "For Sale” sign on the green lawn. Dyke guided the helicar down onto the landing strip beside the attached copterport. The cottage certainly had the most modern conveniences. 
They stepped out, Dyke assisting Lorinda from the helicar with all the self-conscious solicitude of a brand new husband. They stood for a moment on the neat little postage stamp of a lawn, arm in arm. 
The cottage was different from the others on the block, it was similar in its contemporary design, its just-for-two smallness, but still, it was different. It seemed to radiate charm out of all proportion to its physical aspects, as sometimes a relatively unattractive person will, for no reason you can put your finger on, be utterly irresistible. 
"I wonder if it’s open?” asked Lorinda. "There’s one way to find out,” answered Dyke. After a token rap on the door, he twisted the knob. The door opened quietly inward. 
"Oh, Dyke, should we?’’
