At The Fall Of Port Arthur

Beschreibung

At the fall of Port Arthur or A young American in the Japanese navy examines the pressure of national conflict on personal identity and the evolution of courage under fire. It focuses on how individual purpose can be shaped by turbulent environments, revealing the tension between duty and danger. The narrative explores the weight of loyalty, not just to country, but to chosen companions and unspoken principles. It presents war not as a spectacle of destruction, but as a force that forces clarity in decision and tests inner strength. Friendship becomes a stabilizing force, offering a human anchor in the face of chaos. The work suggests that bravery is formed not in isolation, but through shared resolve and the demands of unpredictable environments. It values preparation, alertness, and the capacity to adapt under pressure. The sea becomes more than setting it becomes a symbol of uncontrollable risk and challenge. Through storms and standoffs, the story reflects how character is shaped not by ease but by exposure to conflict and choice.

Autor

Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children's books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
