One of the most beloved classics in a simpler and shorter version.

Harvey is rich—very rich. He is spoiled—terribly spoiled. And during a cruise he falls overboard, only to be rescued by a fishing boat. The fishermen live a tough, grueling life, and Harvey will have to spend six months with them, working hard to earn his bread. Will six months be enough to turn him into a man?

A modern edition that brings young readers closer to the timeless stories of world literature.

Author

Tommaso Percivale

Born in Ovada in 1977, Tommaso Percivale is an author of children's books. He lives and writes on an isolated hilltop surrounded by rocks, wind, woods and roe deer. Passionate about stories, sleight of hand, comics and games, he is a curious writer and, as such, tackles various genres, ranging from historical fiction to science fiction, from adventures to thrillers, even touching on the field of non-fiction. He writes to excite and stimulate deep reflections of an ethical, philosophical and social nature. Freedom, courage and rebellion are the themes he holds most dear.
