This book is a collection of twenty chapters about everyday life, linked together by a common theme and the story of a young man's life, from childhood to marriage. The author, Edmond Privat, intended this book to be an easy read for Esperanto learners, with each chapter focusing on a different aspect of daily life. However, he also hoped that the book would appeal to adults who enjoy reminiscing about their own childhood and youth. The book is written in a simple and straightforward style, with a focus on everyday language and situations. It is a valuable resource for Esperanto learners, and it can also be enjoyed by anyone interested in reading about the experiences of a young man growing up in the early 20th century.
