The Adventures of Romain Calbri
6.99 €
The poor fisherman Calbri, the father of eleven-year-old Romain, dies during a storm. The boy's mother is forced to send her son to be apprenticed to one of her relatives. In the house of a rich but extremely stingy uncle, only mockery, reproaches and a half-starved existence await the orphan.

The boy, dreaming of ships and the open sea, runs away from his hateful life and rushes in search of a better life. Purposefulness, persistence, responsiveness to other people's troubles and loyal friends help him overcome all adversity.

The story of the adventures of Romain Calbri, published in 1869, is one of the best works of the famous French writer Hector Malot (1830-1907), the author of the world-famous novels "Without a Family" and "In the Family". The book reproduces the original illustrations of the famous French artist Emile Bayard (1837-1891).

For middle school age.
