Produktbeschreibung
Make or break or the rich man's daughter examines the moral responsibility individuals carry when confronted with sudden change and social pressure. Centered on the experiences of youth navigating class divides and self-reinvention, it highlights the contrast between arrogance and humility, as well as the internal resolve required to face shifting circumstances. The text reflects on the way ambition intersects with personal integrity, suggesting that upward mobility without compassion leads to hollowness. It critiques vanity and entitlement, particularly within professional and domestic spaces, and proposes that identity is defined less by birth and more by response to adversity. The narrative also investigates how chosen family and duty can redefine purpose, especially when traditional support systems break down. Economic uncertainty, pride, and the pressure to perform respectability are portrayed as significant forces shaping character. By spotlighting the burden of expectations and the quiet heroism found in ordinary choices, the novel invites readers to consider how transformation emerges not from luck or inheritance but from persistence and ethical clarity.
Autorenporträt
William Taylor Adams, better known by his pseudonym Oliver Optic, was an American author, educator, and politician. Born on July 30, 1822, in Medway, Massachusetts, Adams made significant contributions to children's literature, particularly with his popular series of novels under the pen name Oliver Optic. His works, including All Aboard (1855) and The Casket of Diamonds (1892), often focused on themes of adventure, moral lessons, and the development of character, making them popular among young readers during the 19th century. In addition to his writing career, Adams was an active member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, serving from 1869 to 1870. His background in education and his interest in promoting moral and intellectual development in young people influenced much of his writing, which emphasized discipline, perseverance, and the importance of education. Adams continued to write prolifically throughout his life, contributing works such as Shamrock and Thistle and Our Standard-Bearer that explored themes of loyalty and patriotism. He passed away on March 27, 1897.
