Pablo è un ragazzo cieco dalla nascita che, convinto che bontà e bellezza coincidano, dichiara il suo amore a Marianela, una ragazza orfana, intelligente e generosa, ma cagionevole e tutt'altro che avvenente. La ragazza vede in quest'amore la sua unica ragione di vita ma Pablo, recuperata la vista, si innamora della bellissima cugina. Mentre si racconta l'idillio dei due ragazzi e la profonda delusione sofferta da Marianela, il romanzo denuncia la deplorevole situazione delle classi umili, sottolineando i limiti della scienza e mettendo in evidenzia il contrasto tra le idee sulla bellezza e la loro verifica percettiva, affrontando così la spinosa questione della differenza tra realtà e immaginazione.

Bella is an introverted teenage girl who is about to enter her first year of high school. As nervous as she is, she feels confident, since she has the support of her extroverted friend, Mercedes, who has helped and guided her through grade school. But Bella's confidence is quickly shattered. Without any warning, Mercedes is moved to another class, and Bella is left on her own to deal with with all her insecurities and challenges. The biggest is being in the same class as a bully she has known since grade school, Brianna Mason, without her best friend and protector, Mercedes, by her side. Bella manages to navigate her experiences of being put on the spot by standing her ground in many unique, tense, yet humorous situations while befriending Izzy, the outcast girl she barely talked to in middle school. Bella must learn tolerance and patience with her new friend while often being hilariously whipped out of her comfort zone.

Horatio Alger, Jr., an author who lived among and for boys and himself remained a boy in heart and association till death, was born at Revere, Mass., January 13, 1834. In the latter year he settled in New York and began drawing public attention to the condition and needs of street boys. He mingled with them, gained their confidence showed a personal concern in their affairs, and stimulated them to honest and useful living. With his first story he won the hearts of all red-blooded boys everywhere, and of the seventy or more that followed over a million copies were sold during the author's lifetime. In his later life he was in appearance a short, stout, bald-headed man, with cordial manners and whimsical views of things that amused all who met him. He died at Natick, Mass., July 18, 1899. Mr. Alger's stories are as popular now as when first published, because they treat of real live boys who were always up and about-just like the boys found everywhere to-day. They are pure in tone and inspiring in influence, and many reforms in the juvenile life of New York may be traced to them. Among the best known are: Strong and Steady; Strive and Succeed; Try and Trust; Bound to Rise; Risen from the Ranks; Herbert Carter's Legacy; Brave and Bold; Jack's Ward; Shifting for Himself; Wait and Hope; Paul the Peddler; Phil the Fiddler; Slow and Sure; Julius the Street Boy; Tom the Bootblack; Struggling Upward, Facing the World; The Cash Boy; Making His Way; Tony the Tramp; Joe's Luck; Do and Dare; Only an Irish Boy; Sink or Swim; A Cousin's Conspiracy; Andy Gordon; Bob Burton; Harry Vane; Hector's Inheritance; Mark Mason's Triumph; Sam's Chance; The Telegraph Boy; The Young Adventurer; The Young Outlaw; The Young Salesman, and Luke Walton.

Wells, a pioneer in the science fiction genre, produced awesomely imaginative novels whose technologies seem impossibly sophisticated for a writer living in an era before automobiles and the widespread application of electricity.
