Beschreibung

In 1864, New York is a city divided. The rich live high in the air and the poor toil below. Allan Montague comes here from Virginia with his father to seek success. He becomes embroiled in a battle between two of the most powerful men in New York. And when injustice befalls a poor man, Allan will stop at nothing to right what he sees as wrongs against the working class.

Upton Beall Sinclair Jr. (September 20, 1878 – November 25, 1968) was an American writer, muckraker, political activist and the 1934 Democratic Party nominee for governor of California who wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair's work was well known and popular in the first half of the 20th century, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943.

    The Bobbseys are trading the quiet streets of Lakeport for the roaring energy of the "Great City." In The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City, Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie travel to New York, where every street corner holds a new wonder. From the dizzying heights of early skyscrapers to the crowded bustle of the department stores, the twins experience the cutting edge of 1917 urban life. But the city is as mysterious as it is large; when one of the twins goes missing in the crowd, it takes quick thinking and a bit of "Bobbsey luck" to reunite the family and solve an unexpected urban puzzle.
    
    A Tale of Two Worlds: This volume highlights the contrast between the twins' familiar small-town values and the fast-paced, sophisticated environment of the city. It captures the awe of childhood discovery as the twins navigate subways, grand hotels, and the vibrant culture of the early 20th-century metropolis.

Whether they are decoding the secrets of a busy harbor or finding their way through a maze-like park, Nan and Bert prove that their teamwork and bravery are effective even in the biggest city in the world.
