Kipling's Captains Courageous Audiobook CDs

Descripción del producto

<p>This book was an all-time favorite of President Theodore Roosevelt! Teach your children to be diligent. Inspire your boys to become men.</p><p>Harvey Cheyne is the coddled son of a railroad baron. Washed overboard from a luxury liner off the coast of Canada, he’s rescued by a fishing boat – and discovers that his reported wealth and social status mean nothing to the crew of the schooner We’re Here out of Gloucester. Harvey learns the value of labor, loyalty, tradition, and compassion, as the heir to millions suddenly finds himself forced to work for his food as a destitute cabin boy on a tiny New England fishing boat – with months to go before they touch land again. Tales of millions and pampering parents mean nothing to fishermen chasing the cod across the Grand Bank of Newfoundland where one slip in the fog could be the line between coming home with a hold full of salted cod, and being remembered in the yearly memorial observance for those who died in the fleet.</p><p>/"Captains Courageous describes in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do. … The spoiled, over-indulged child of wealthy parents … thrown on his own resources, amid wholesome surroundings, and forced to work hard among boys and men who are real boys and real men doing real work. The effect is invaluable./"</p><p>– Theodore Roosevelt</p>
