Sinossi

In "All Taut; or, Rigging the Boat," Oliver Optic weaves an engaging narrative that serves as both a thrilling maritime adventure and an educational exploration of nautical principles. Utilizing vivid imagery and authentic dialogue, Optic skillfully depicts the challenges young sailors face while emphasizing themes of teamwork and perseverance. This work not only entertains but also serves as a window into the 19th-century American youth literature, reflecting the era's fascination with seafaring and the romantic ideal of independence on the open water. Oliver Optic, a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 1800s, drew upon his own experiences and love for the sea to create stories that inspire and inform young readers. His background in education and passion for travel enriched his storytelling, allowing him to convey complex concepts in an accessible manner. The author'Äôs works often foster a spirit of adventure and moral fortitude, echoing the Victorian ideals of perseverance and character development. I highly recommend "All Taut; or, Rigging the Boat" to readers of all ages, especially those captivated by nautical themes and the intricacies of boat rigging. This book not only offers an adventure-filled narrative but also serves as an excellent introduction to the joys and challenges of maritime life.

    This is the Māori language edition of Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod. The book recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.

    A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.
