Forced to adapt to the harsh realities of life aboard a fishing schooner, Harvey learns the value of hard work, perseverance, and camaraderie as he forms deep connections with the crew, including the seasoned captain, Disko Troop, and the compassionate sailor, Manuel. Through a series of trials and adventures, Harvey undergoes a profound transformation, ultimately finding redemption and a newfound sense of purpose. With its evocative descriptions, compelling characters, and timeless themes, ""Captains Courageous"" is a stirring tale of resilience and self-discovery that continues to captivate readers of all ages.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
