"Reprinted from the 1897 edition"--T.p. verso.
A story of the forest, told in four short stories: The Call of the Woodsman, The Trail Through the Forest, The Shadow of the Thunder-Oak, and The Felling of the Tree. Henry van Dyke (1852-1933) was an American clergyman, educator, and author. He graduated from Princeton in 1873, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1874. He was pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, New York City (1883-99), professor of English literature at Princeton (1899-1923), and U.S. minister to the Netherlands (1913-16). Among his popular inspirational writings is the Christmas story The Other Wise Man (1896). As President Wilson's ambassador to the Netherlands from 1913, Van Dyke was a first-hand witness to the outbreak of World War I and its progress, and was a key player in the President's diplomatic efforts to keep the U.S. out of the conflict.
Jose Marti tenia un gran talento para la escritura y se destaco en muchas de las manifestaciones de este arte. Fue periodista, poeta, ensayista, dramaturgo e incluso escribio una novela, pero en lo que mas utilizo su talento y sus energias fue, sin duda alguna, en la causa de la liberacion cubana. Jamas ceso su pluma de plasmar en papel sus pensamientos libertadores, su ideal de una Cuba libre gobernada por el pueblo cubano y de pedirle a sus compatriotas que nunca perdieran el valor ni la esperanza. No les pedia odiar a Espana sino la opresion recibida por ella y, sobre todo, odiar su propia falta de caracter la cual, a final de cuentas, era el unico impedimento para recuperar lo que era suyo: su libertad y su identidad como pueblo. En este libro se recogen los trabajos que para este fin escribie Marti desde 1892 hasta 1893.

Set at the end of the seventeenth century in Paris and the New World.
Ademas de utilizar su genio literario para crear maravillosos poemas y obras teatrales, Jose Marti hizo mano de su don en la profesion del periodismo, al ejercer como corresponsal de La Opinion Nacional de Caracas, El Partido Liberal de Mexico y La Nacion de Buenos Aires, tres de los principales rotativos de America Latina. Para estos periodicos preparo excelentes cronicas de los principales acontecimientos en los Estados Unidos, en verdad que nada se le escapaba de cuanto sucedia a diario en aquel pais. En este libro se compilan los trabajos periodisticos de Marti de 1881 a 1883."La plancha acaba de ser mordida por los rayos de luz, y ya esta exhibiendo la fotografia. Estas paginas son instanteneas. Cierto. Pero no las ha tomado un fotografo, sino un artista."-- Jose Varona

There are 28 short biographies included in this volume such as Abraham Lincoln, Wolfgang Mozart, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Cole, James Watt, Mozart, Samuel Johnson, Abraham Lincoln, Dwight L. Moody, and many more. These characters have been chosen from various countries and from varied professions, that the youth who read this book may see that poverty is no barrier to success. It usually develops ambition, and nerves people to action. Life at best has much of struggle, and we need to be cheered and stimulated by the careers of those who have overcome obstacles. If Lincoln and Garfield, both farmer-boys, could come to the Presidency, then there is a chance for other farmer-boys. If Ezra Cornell, a mechanic, could become the president of great telegraph companies and leave millions to a university, then other mechanics can come to fame. If Sir Titus Salt, working and sorting wool in a factory at nineteen, could build one of the model towns of the world for his thousands of workingmen, then there is encouragement and inspiration for other toilers in factories. These lives show that without work and will no great things are achieved.
