Beschreibung

When fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr, the spoiled son of a railway tycoon, is swept off his steamship by a wave and rescued by fisherman he learns some hard lessons about life and what it means to be a man.
After his demands to return to port are ignored and his nose bloodied by the captain, Harvey is taken on as a cabin boy until the We're Here finishes her run. Can the boy unused to manual labor learn the ropes at sea?
Teddy Roosevelt said of Captains Courageous that it describes "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do."
This edition is presented with all the original illustrations.

Über den Autor

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet and novelist. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899) and "If-" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, both of which he declined.
