en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2019
Silver Lake is a novel written by R.M. Ballantyne that tells the story of a young man named Mark Seaton who sets out on a journey to explore the wilderness of Canada. Along the way, he encounters a group of fur traders who are in desperate need of help. Seaton agrees to assist them and soon finds himself embroiled in a dangerous adventure that takes him deep into the heart of the Canadian wilderness. As he navigates treacherous rapids, battles fierce animals, and faces other challenges, Seaton learns valuable lessons about perseverance, courage, and the importance of friendship. The novel is a thrilling adventure story that will captivate readers of all ages with its vivid descriptions of the natural world, its exciting plot twists, and its memorable characters.Lest any reader should wonder where our heroine found materials for all the mending and repairing referred to, we may remark that the Indians in the wilderness were, and still are, supplied with needles, beads, cloth, powder and shot, guns, axes, and etc., by the adventurous fur-traders, who penetrate deep and far into the wilderness of North America; and when Nelly and Roy ran away from their captors they took care to carry with them an ample supply of such things as they might require in their flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Notă biografică

R. M. Ballantyne was a Scottish writer of juvenile and historical fiction. Born in Edinburgh, he was part of a famous family of printers and publishers. At the age of 16 he went to Canada where he served for six years with the Hudson's Bay Company. He returned to Scotland in 1847, and published his first book the following year, Hudson Bay. For some time he was employed by Messrs Constable, the publishers, but in 1856 he gave up business for literature, and began the series of adventure stories for young readers with which his name is popularly associated. Ballantyne would become an inspiration for R.L. Stevenson, author of the classic Treasure Island.
