Opis

Captains Courageous is an 1897 novel, by Rudyard Kipling, that follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the arrogant and spoiled son of a railroad tycoon. The novel originally appeared as a serialization in McClure's, beginning with the November 1896 edition. The book's title comes from the ballad "Mary Ambree," which starts, "When captains courageous, whom death could not daunt." Kipling had already used the same title for an article on businessmen as the new adventurers, published in The Times of 23 November 1892.
