Anotace knihy

"Clearing Weather" is a compelling work of historical fiction that captures the spirit and industry of post-Revolutionary America. Set in a small New England town struggling with the economic aftermath of the war, the story follows young Nicholas Drury as he takes on the monumental task of reviving his family's shipyard. The heart of the narrative lies in the construction of the "Jocasta", a magnificent vessel intended to open new avenues of trade and restore prosperity to a community on the brink of ruin.

As the ship embarks on a perilous journey across the globe to the distant ports of China, readers are swept into a tale of maritime adventure, perseverance, and the birth of American international commerce. Cornelia Meigs masterfully blends historical detail with a sense of high-seas drama, illustrating the courage required to navigate both turbulent waters and uncertain political landscapes. This classic tale serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of those who built the foundations of a new nation. Through the lens of shipbuilding and global exploration, "Clearing Weather" offers a vivid window into the early days of the American republic and the enduring human drive to seek out new horizons.
