Sinopsis

In "Frank and Andy at Boarding School: Or, Rivals for Many Honors," Vance Barnum presents an engaging tale that explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and personal growth against the backdrop of a traditional boarding school setting. The narrative unfolds with Barnum's descriptive literary style, employing vivid imagery and character-driven dialogue that immerses the reader in the trials and tribulations faced by young boys navigating academia and moral dilemmas. The story not only serves as a coming-of-age narrative but also reflects the prevailing attitudes of late 19th-century American society, particularly in relation to educational values and masculinity. Vance Barnum, an author deeply influenced by his own experiences of youth and education, draws from a wealth of insight into the dynamics of male camaraderie and competition. His writing often reflects an understanding of the formative years in adolescence, and his ability to depict relatable characters is evident throughout the book. Barnum's background, punctuated by his own boarding school experiences, provides authenticity to the struggles and aspirations of Frank and Andy, mirroring the developmental journey of many young readers of his time. This book is highly recommended for readers who enjoy classic coming-of-age stories filled with adventure and moral complexity. The themes of resilience and honor resonate across generations, making it a relevant read for both young adults and nostalgic older audiences. Whether you are looking to explore the nuances of friendship or simply indulge in a compelling story, Barnum's work promises to deliver a rich reading experience.

The Voice In The Night by William Hope Hodgson 
It was a dark, starless night. We were becalmed in the Northern Pacific. Our exact position I do not know; for the sun had been hidden during the course of a weary, breathless week, by a thin haze which had seemed to float above us, about the height of our mastheads, at whiles descending and shrouding the surrounding sea. 
With there being no wind, we had steadied the tiller, and I was the only man on deck. The crew, consisting of two men and a boy, were sleeping forward in their den, while Will-my friend, and the master of our little craft-was aft in his bunk on the port side of the little cabin. 
Suddenly, from out of the surrounding darkness, there came a hail: “Schooner, ahoy!” 
The cry was so unexpected that I gave no immediate answer, because of my surprise. 
It came again-a voice curiously throaty and inhuman, calling from somewhere upon the dark sea away on our port broadside: 
“Schooner, ahoy!” 
“Hullo!” I sung out, having gathered my wits somewhat. “What are you? What do you want?”
