Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers With Some Tears. Afterword By C.A. Bodelsen. 172 pages. paperback. CD252. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback England Literature 19th Century. DESCRIPTION - One of Rudyard Kipling's most enduringly popular works, Captains Courageous is both a stirring tale of the sea and a fable of a boy's initiation into the world of men. The boy in question is Harvey Cheyne, pampered son of an American millionaire; his initiation commences when he is saved from drowning by a New England fishing schooner and forced to prove his worth in the only way the captain and crew will accept: through the slow and arduous mastery of skills upon which common survival depends. Depicted with what C. A. Bodelsen terms 'Kipling's brilliant impressionism. his almost infallible sense of the right word,' the voyage of the We're Here is one of both physical and moral adventure; it serves to give memorable, dramatic definition to the author's rigorous concept of the laws governing human existence. As C. A. Bodelsen goes on to write: 'Kipling is making the same point here as he did in The Jungle Books: that the basic conditions of human life are those of Nature, and that the civilization we have created is only a thin screen between us and immutable forces only disregarded at our peril.' inventory #33665 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers With Some Tears.
