Beskrivelse af The Rowdy
The Rowdy is a novel written by Octave Thanet. Set in the late 19th century, the story follows the life of a young boy named Jack Donovan. Jack is a mischievous and rebellious child who constantly gets into trouble with his family and the people around him. Despite his wild behavior, Jack has a good heart and a strong sense of justice. The novel explores themes of family, loyalty, and social class as Jack navigates his way through life. He struggles to find his place in the world and to reconcile his desire for independence with his need for love and acceptance from those around him. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his strict father, his kind-hearted mother, and his tough-talking grandmother. As Jack grows older, he becomes more aware of the injustices in the world and begins to fight against them. He becomes involved in the labor movement and works to improve the lives of workers in his community. However, his activism puts him at odds with his family and the wealthy elites who control his town. The Rowdy is a compelling coming-of-age story that portrays the complexities of life in small-town America during the late 19th century. It is a story of struggle, growth, and ultimately, redemption.Yet I am not denying some virtues in the mire. By nature Mike had a sweet temper. He was neither envious nor churlish; and he was kind to helpless creatures, the fowls, the dog, the cow, and the children. He had a distorted sense of honor, that, so far, getting tangled up with his class feeling, had done him more harm than good.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
