Peter B. Peter Bernard Kyne

    Dieser amerikanische Romanautor wurde für seine Geschichten aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert bekannt, die oft auf seinen eigenen Erfahrungen während des Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieges und des Philippinischen Aufstands basierten. Seine frühen Werke, insbesondere ein Roman aus dem Jahr 1913, bildeten die Grundlage für erfolgreiche Verfilmungen, die bereits in der Stummfilmzeit begannen. Kynes Erzählungen zeichnen sich durch ihre beschreibende Kraft aus und fangen den abenteuerlichen Geist seiner Zeit ein. Seine umfangreiche Filmografie zeugt von der anhaltenden Wirkung seiner Erzählungen auf die Populärkultur.

Echoing the rags-to-riches optimism of the early 20th century, this motivational parable of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity has inspired generations of entrepreneurs and workers.

Undeterred, he meets every new challenge with wit, grit and zeal, evolving from amateur dreamer to consummate go-getter before readers' eyes. Kyne's underdog tale struck an immediate chord in the postwar economic boom. By 1923 the book was already in its sixth printing, eventual sales topping half a million copies worldwide. Its popularity crossed class divides, finding audiences from corporate elites to factory workers seeking advancement. Kyne's story remains a hallmark of American individualism. Though later generations have aimed critique at its capitalist themes, for decades it influenced workplace culture and fueled the self-made dreams of millions. A testament to the power of will in the face of difficulty, "The Go-Getter" retains its iconic status as a wellspring of inspiration and a monument to perseverance.
