THE BITER BITTEN

But life in the Pit at best was a precarious affair, as the three Hill-dwellers were quickly to learn. Before Joe could even possess himself of his kites, his astonished eyes were greeted with the spectacle of all his enemies, the fireman included, taking to their heels in wild flight. As the little girls and urchins had melted away before the Simpson gang, so was melting away the Simpson gang before some new and correspondingly awe-inspiring group of predatory creatures.

Joe heard terrified cries of "Fish gang!" "Fish gang!" from those who fled, and he would have fled himself from this new danger, only he was breathless from his last encounter, and knew the impossibility of escaping whatever threatened. Fred and Charley felt mighty longings to run away from a danger great enough to frighten the redoubtable Simpson gang and the valorous fireman, but they could not desert their comrade.

London her zamanki gibi heyecanlı bir macera kurgusu oluşturmuş. Kendi hayatından da kesitler barındırdığını düşündüğüm bu kitapta yeryüzünde mevcut olamayacak kadar sakin bir baba figürü de mevcut. Ergenlik çağına yeni girmiş veya o çağda bulunan bireylerin okuması için yazılmış bir eser. Heyecanlı

San Francisco’da yaşayan Joe, kendini bir türlü derslerine veremeyen, arkadaşlarıyla sokak sokak gezmeyi sınavlara çalışmaya yeğleyen bir gençtir. Yaşamı sıradan, sıkıcı bulur, hep daha fazlasını bekler. Dolu dolu yaşamak ister ve günlerini çeşitli maceralara atılarak geçirenlere özenir. Kız kardeşi

Excellent book, both entertaining and engaging. The action is sometimes intense, and the story moves along at a good pace, but the real treasure for me lies in the character development. While Joe is the main character, his father plays a central role, demonstrating strength and wisdom in his love f

Der junge Joe läuft von zu Hause weg. Er will das richtige Leben sehen, zur See gehen. Schule und lernen findet er dagegen grausam und nur etwas für Streber.
In der Zeit auf See erlebt er dann viele Abenteuer mit seinem neuen Freund Frisko Kid. Ein typisches London Buch über die See. Nicht das Beste

Ilerde kizimin da kesinlikle okumasini istedigim yazarlardan Jack London’in keyifle okunan bir diger romani.

“Pal Sokağı Çocukları” tadında başlayan roman, sonrasında London’ın pek çok romanında olduğu gibi kendi tecrübelerinden hareketle keyifli bir deniz serüvenine dönüşüyor. Romanın orijinal adı "Dazzler’ın Seferi". Bizde daha etkili bulduğum adıyla, "Denizin Çağrısı" olarak biliniyor. Gençlik romanları

Oh, if he, Joe Bronson, were only on that fishing boat and sailing in with a deep-sea catch! Or if he were on that schooner, heading out into the sunset, into the world! That was life, that was living, doing something and being something in the world. And, instead, here he was, pent up in a close ro
