Though they've lived their entire lives less than five blocks from each other, Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders exist in very different worlds. Reuven blends easily into both his secular Jewish faith and his typical American teen life, while Danny's conservative Hasidic clothes and appearance make him stick out in any crowd. Their improbable friendship teaches them that the differences separating people through cultures and generations are never as great as they seem.

The Great Gatsby is considered F. Scott Fitzgerald’s magnum opus, exploring themes of decadence, idealism, social stigmas, patriarchal norms, and the deleterious effects of unencumbered wealth in capitalistic society, set against the backdrop of the jazz age and the Roaring Twenties. At its heart, it’s a cautionary tale, a revealing look into the darker side of the American Dream.

Resumen del Editor
Penrod is a collection of comic sketches by Booth Tarkington that was first published in 1914. The book follows the misadventures of Penrod Schofield, an 11-year-old boy growing up in the pre-World War I Midwestern United States, in a similar vein to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Like most children, Penrod gets caught up in his own elaborate lies with hilarious results. His friends and his dog accompany him on his many jaunts, from the stage as "the Child Sir Lancelot", to the playground, to school. They make names for themselves as "bad boys" who, fittingly, always have the most fun. This humorous, thoughtful story is a wonderful example of the real-life characterization and attention to detail for which Tarkington is celebrated.
More than a century after it was first published to incredible popularity and acclaim, Penrod remains wildly funny and entertaining to adults and children alike.

Published in 1922, Fitzgerald's second novel chronicles the relationship of Anthony Patch, Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete, and his beautiful wife, Gloria, as they await to inherit his grandfather's fortune. A devastating satire of the nouveaux rich and New York's nightlife, of reckless ambition and squandered talent, it is also a shattering portrait of a marriage fueled by alcohol and wasted by wealth. The Beautiful and Damned, Fitzgerald wrote to Zelda in 1930, "was all true."

Captains Courageous is Rudyard Kipling’s classic fable of a boy’s initiation into the fellowship of men, played out on the high seas of the late 1800s. When he falls overboard from a luxury liner, Harvey Cheyne, the spoiled son of an American millionaire, is rescued by a small New England fishing schooner. To earn his keep, Harvey must prove his worth in the only way the skipper and his hardy crew will accept: through the grueling mastery of a fisherman’s skills.

Wonderful, wistful, and beautifully intricate. Although more than 100 years have passed , the sweet, and sometimes rough , rites of passage remain the same.

An excellent reading of a tale of great whimsy , humor and pathos ( Duke , the long suffering mutt quite heart wrenching) ; Tarkington, an author not as well known as in his day, captures boyhood in all its idyllic, ornery charm. In a coarse world we would benefit from a Tarkington revival .

Hope we get the other books too
Now two of my favorite books were written by Booth Tarkington: The Magnificent Ambersons, and Penrod. What a talent.
From 1914. It’s not so much the high-flown language, comically applied to childish subject matter, that makes the book so hilarious, as it is the scenarios and keenly observed behavior of the children. The whole thing is funny from beginning to end, but the episodes acquire a bit more depth as they go along. The bully Rupe chapters are rousing.
I laughed out loud even more than in a Jeeves novel. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Tarkington were an influence on Wodehouse. And on the writers of Leave It to Beaver, too. Thanks to Matt Groening for his recommendation, which I read in an essay years ago. It’s not hard to see Bart Simpson in Penrod. No thanks to the late Robert Gottlieb of The New Yorker, who used our current critical neglect of Tarkington to argue he was a “hack.” Great critical skills there.
