Omschrijving

A brisk, hopeful adventure that feels both timeless and urgently relevant. Bernard Brooks' Adventures transports young readers to Victorian America with the brisk pulse of Horatio Alger stories and the clear-eyed optimism of a plucky boy's ascent. This complete illustrated edition offers a concise, neatly paced juvenile adventure fiction that follows a determined youth whose entrepreneurial ambition and steadfast kindness propel him forward. It blends rags to riches ethos with practical ingenuity, presenting a boys adventure tale that rewards perseverance, clever problem-solving, and integrity. For aspiring young readers, the journey operates as a blueprint for self-reliance, friendship, and the power of steady effort. Historically, the work sits squarely in late nineteenth century America, offering both the grit of a bustling, pre-modern cityscape and the moral uplift characteristic of Horatio Alger style tales. Its significance endures: a window into classic boys fiction and a touchstone in the canon of Horatio Alger stories, reimagined for today's audiences and future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Restored for today's and future generations, it appeals to casual readers craving a brisk, human adventure and to classic-literature collectors seeking a complete illustrated edition that honours a storied literary tradition. For the ambitious reader, it's a lasting invitation to dream big and act with courage.
