'The Luck' in this story is a baby boy born in Roaring Camp, a California gold rush settlement. The baby's mother dies in childbirth and the men decide to bring up the boy themselves. His presence inspires them to drop their gambling and brawling. When gold is discovered, they believe the child has brought them this good fortune, but can this 'Luck' last? These are classic American short stories - published in 1868.

In 1870, the young San Francisco–based writer and editor Bret Harte (1836–1902) first compiled a single-volume edition of his rousing stories of life in the Wild West. Entitled The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches, the book propelled him almost overnight from local celebrity to American literary lion. Four of the most famous of those tales are included in this collection: the title story, "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," "Tennessee's Partner," and "M'liss."Additional selections include "A Protégée of Jack Hamlin" and "An Ingénue of the Sierras," both written later in Harte's life and featuring lively casts of colorful characters in settings ranging from a stagecoach to a Sacramento River steamer. They display the author's enthralling storytelling style at full strength ― crisply observant, rich in ironic humor, and offering an engaging mix of sentiment and wit. Harte's style exercised a deep influence on the American short story genre and set a future course for writers of Western fiction, including Owen Wister and Zane Grey.

Výber poviedok zo zlatokopeckého obdobia Californie a San Francisca.

Výbor přibližuje předního amerického povídkáře a humoristu ve vztahu k údolí Sacramenta, k podhůří Sierry a k San Franciscu. Přináší vedle několika autorových klasických příběhů zejména jeho kalifornské povídky. Jde o vyprávění, založená většinou na skutečných událostech, která zachycují atmosféru kalifornských zlatokopeckých táborů i městeček s jejich obyvateli – drsnými chlapy, dobrodruhy i bezelstnými chudáky, líčí osudy Indiánů a Číňanů, čelících krutým předsudkům.

Dielo klasika a zakladateľa dobrodružnej literatúry o americkom Západe, ktorého preslávili poviedky zo života zlatokopov v Kalifornii - z ktorých je aj tento výber. V týchto poviedkach ožíva pravdivý obraz zlatokopeckých táborov a osád. Harte sa nezastavuje pri vraždách a prestrelkách, zaujímajú ho viac ľudia: zlatokopi, hráči, dobrodruhovia, žena a deti.

Knížka představuje antologii slavných dobrodružných příběhů klasické světové literatury, od Jacka Londona a jeho Lásky k životu, v níž autor popisuje příběh zlatokopa, bojujícího o život s hladem a nebezpečími drsného kanadského Severu, přes Chaloupku strýčka Toma americké spisovatelky Harriet Beecher Stoweová, která výrazně ovlivnila anglosaský svět v boji proti otroctví, až k notoricky známému příběhu osamělého trosečníka Robinsona Crusoea. Zastoupeno je i dílo Julesa Vernea, Breta Harteho, Karla Maye či Rudyarda Kiplinga. Texty jsou doprovázeny krásnými ilustracemi Zdeňka Buriana, jež jsou ve čtenářském povědomí s literaturou romanticky dobrodružného žánru neodmyslitelně spjaty.

Poutavý román o strastiplném a nebezpečném životě kalifornských zlatokopů v polovině minulého století vykresluje pestrou směsici postav a postaviček - poctivců, podvodníků, bankéřů i zabijáků.

Příběh dětí z Divokého západu, jejichž rodina byla zabita při nájezdu indiánů. První díl románové trilogie o Clarenci Brantovi.

Kalifornie v polovině 19.stol. se svojí zlatou horečkou a tvrdým životem je tématem dobrodružných povídek amerického autora.

Tři autorovy povídky z amerického západu 19. století.

Dobrodružný román z prostředí kalifornských zlatokopů.

Soubor šesti povídek významného amerického autora 19. století. Povídky zasazené vesměs do atraktivního období osidlování amerického Západu, si získaly popularitu především u příznivců westernového žánru. Příběhy, které vypráví, však často přesahují rámec jednoduchých dobrodružných příběhů - podávají svědectví o době a lokálních rysech života v různých koutech USA a vyznačují se i kritičností a ironickým duchem, podobně jako např. dílo Marka Twaina či O.Henryho.
