Synopsis

Dans la prairie dans l'un des États occidentaux où les buffles et les chevaux sauvages avaient autrefois erré à leur plaisir et où les cactus et les yuccas prospéraient encore et fleurissaient, on pouvait voir un petit bâtiment à deux étages. Il n'y avait rien d'étrange, sauf que la maison était différente de la maison moyenne des plaines ; car à cette époque particulière, la plus grande partie des habitations étaient faites de gazon, de boue et de broussailles. Les gens, en général, étaient de ce type qui pensent principalement à obtenir tout le plaisir de leur vie quotidienne qu'il est possible d'obtenir. Il y avait donc peu de pensée parmi eux de l'au-delà, lorsque les hommes doivent rendre compte d'eux-mêmes devant un Dieu juste et vivant. En fait, la jeune génération savait à peine qu'il y avait un Dieu qui prenait note de toutes leurs voies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Biographie de l'auteur

Isabel C. Byrum (1870-1938) was an American author. Amongst her most famous works are: Bedtime Stories from the Old Testament (1911), The Value of a Praying Mother (1911), The Poorhouse Waif and His Divine Teacher (1919), How John Became a Man: Life Story of a Motherless Boy (1917) and Tread of Years (1938). "Out on the prairie in one of the western states where buffaloes and wild horses once had roamed at their pleasure and where cacti and yuccas still thrived and bloomed could be seen a small two-story frame building. There was nothing strange in this except that the house was different from the average house of the plains; for at this particular time the greater part of the dwellings were made of sod, mud, and brush."
