The Go-Getter

Las presentaciones de los libros están en inglés.

An impossible assignment, a blue vase, and the resourcefulness of a man determined to finish what he starts.

Bill Peck asks for a chance to prove himself at a lumber company. What begins as a sales assignment becomes a test of judgement and determination, culminating in the search for a blue vase. The story makes its argument through obstacles that demand a fresh response, one after another.

Por qué lo conservé

I didn't really like it.

Peter B. Kyne first published The Go-Getter in 1921. It is a short story about Bill Peck, a go-getter who never gives up and is eventually rewarded, built around an impossible assignment and a blue vase.

The English is very old, and the story did not do much for me. It stays on the shelf because it is part of what I read, not because I recommend it.
