Living in the farm is quite difficult for him, and after having a quarrel with his greedy uncle, with whom he lived, he decided to go away. Nat had money and it was a struggle to get to the big city, where he thought fame and luck already waited for him. Accidently the boy obtained a considerable sum of money, which he decided to invest into his so called business. But a swindler quickly scammed the boy, and opened Nat's eyes to the fact that he was not as astute as he considered himself to be. The lesson he was taught appeared to be quite valuable, and from that moment the country boy did his best to not alone win success but to deserve it. He worked a lot, often surrounded by serious difficulties, and what the result of his struggle was, will be found in the pages which go next. Writing this novel author wanted to show the difference between quiet careless life in the country place and in a great fussy city, and especially as that difference shows itself to the eyes of a country boy. Many country guys imagine themselves conquering the big city, winning success and becoming wealthy; obviously they will not think that way after they have read Nat's story. More than once, in spite of his stamina and courage, Nat came close to making a complete failure of what he had started out to do, and his success in the end was not that great as he expected.

the state its history and development viewed sociologically
- Author: franz oppenheimer
- Genre: Economics
Franz Oppenheimer was a German sociologist and political economist. Oppenheimer's views are libertarian and he considered himself to be a liberal socialist. He was greatly influenced by such anarchistic thinkers as Proudhon and Kropotkin but also by libertarians such as Henry George and in line with the thinking of Albert Jay Nock. Oppenheimer sees the state as being born in violence and resulting from the oppression of one class by another. However, he does not completely condemn the state, remaining neutral in this book and maintaining the stance of a classical liberal. Oppenheimer's views are also tinted with a belief in progress, democracy, and evolutionism, and as such he believed that the state could eventually be overcome and result in a democratic society of freemen. This book is an important read for the serious student of history. It adds that extra level of knowledge that one would otherwise not even think about.
