Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The man sat in a niche of the mountain, busily hating the Caribbean Sea. It was quite a contract that he had undertaken, for there was a large expanse of Caribbean Sea in sight to hate; very blue, and still, and indifferent to human emotions. However, the young man was a good steadfast hater, and he came there every day to sit in the shade of the overhanging boulder, where there was a little trickle of cool air down the slope and a little trickle of cool water from a crevice beneath the rock, to despise that placid, unimpressionable ocean and all its works and to wish that it would dry up forthwith, so that he might walk back to the blessed United States of America.

Autorenporträt
Samuel Hopkins Adams was an American author and journalist known for his contributions to literature in the early 20th century. Born in 1871, he wrote novels, short stories, and essays, often blending social commentary with engaging narratives. Adams is perhaps best remembered for his satirical works that critique consumer culture and the advertising industry, with ""The Unspeakable Perk"" being one of his notable novels. His writing often explored themes of morality, integrity, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. In addition to fiction, Adams was a prolific journalist, writing for several prominent publications and focusing on issues such as public health and social justice. His investigative work contributed to significant reforms, including the regulation of patent medicines. Adams' legacy is marked by his keen observations of American life and his ability to weave fiction, biography, and exposé into his narratives, making his work relevant even today.
