Glengarry Schooldays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162664507)

Glengarry Schooldays is a classic novel by Ralph Connor that tells the story of a young boy named Donald Cameron and his experiences at the Glengarry School in rural Canada. The novel is set in the late 19th century and follows Donald as he navigates the challenges of school life, including academic pressures, social hierarchies, and the often harsh realities of life in a remote community.Despite these challenges, Donald finds solace and inspiration in the beauty of the natural world around him, and he learns valuable lessons about hard work, perseverance, and the importance of friendship and community. Along the way, he also encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his stern but caring teacher, Mr. Murray, and his mischievous classmates, who provide both comic relief and poignant moments of insight and reflection.Throughout the novel, Connor explores themes of identity, belonging, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. He also captures the unique spirit and traditions of rural Canada in the late 19th century, from the rugged landscape and harsh winters to the close-knit communities and deep sense of tradition and heritage.Overall, Glengarry Schooldays is a timeless coming-of-age story that offers a rich and engaging portrait of a bygone era, as well as a powerful reminder of the enduring value of hard work, perseverance, and the bonds of friendship and community.The first days of that week were days of strife. Murdie Cameron and Bob Fraser and the other big boys succeeded in keeping in line with the master's rules and regulations. They were careful never to be late, and so saved themselves the degradation of bringing an excuse. But the smaller boys set themselves to make the master's life a burden, and succeeded beyond their highest expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
