A Little Princess: Puffin Classics

Autor Frances Hodgson Burnett
Notă:  5.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2025 – vârsta până la 12 ani

Suntem de părere că rezistența fizică a unei cărți este primul pas către o prietenie de lungă durată cu lectura. Ediția de față, deși în format paperback, face parte din prestigioasa serie Collins Classics, fiind concepută cu pagini de o densitate optimă pentru mâini mici care explorează literatura clasică. Considerăm că această poveste rămâne una dintre cele mai emoționante lecții despre demnitate, potrivită pentru copii începând cu vârsta de 8-9 ani.

Premisa este una care a captivat generații: Sara Crewe, o fetiță care a avut parte de toată iubirea și bogăția din lume, ajunge victima unei directoare de internat nemiloase după moartea tatălui ei. Ceea ce ne atrage atenția în mod deosebit este modul în care Sara alege să răspundă nedreptății. Ea nu devine o victimă, ci își folosește imaginația debordantă pentru a supraviețui, susținând că a fi o „prințesă” nu ține de rochiile purtate, ci de felul în care gândești și te porți cu cei din jur.

Atmosfera amintește de The Secret Garden, dar în timp ce Mary Lennox trebuie să învețe să iubească într-un cadru exterior, în grădina sa secretă, Sara Crewe trebuie să își găsească „grădina” interioară în mansarda rece a unei școli londoneze. Dacă în The Secret Garden miza este vindecarea prin natură, în A Little Princess miza este păstrarea umanității într-un sistem opresiv. Subliniem continuitatea tematică din opera autoarei Frances Hodgson Burnett, care, la fel ca în Little Lord Fauntleroy, pune accentul pe contrastul dintre puritatea inimii unui copil și rigiditatea lumii adulților. Tonul narațiunii este cald, oferind siguranță emoțională chiar și în momentele de tensiune, transformând lectura într-o experiență formativă despre respect și bunătate.

Despre autor

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) a fost o autoare și dramaturgă anglo-americană, celebră pentru capacitatea sa de a scrie romane care au devenit repere ale literaturii pentru copii. Născută în Manchester, Burnett a emigrat în America după moartea tatălui său, confruntându-se personal cu declinul financiar al familiei, experiență care a infuzat realism și profunzime operelor sale. Succesul a venit devreme, iar lucrările sale, printre care A Little Princess și The Secret Garden, explorează constant transformarea prin speranță și forța spiritului, rămânând până astăzi printre cele mai iubite povești clasice din întreaga lume.

Notă biografică

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924) was a British-American novelist and playwright. She is best known for the three children's novels Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-1886), A Little Princess (1905) and The Secret Garden (1911). She was born in Cheetham, Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling in Jefferson City, Tennessee. There Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870, her mother died and in 1872 Frances married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor. The Burnetts lived for two years in Paris, where their two sons were born, before returning to the United States to live in Washington, D.C. Burnett then began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowrie's), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular. She wrote and helped to produce stage versions of Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess. Burnett enjoyed socializing and lived a lavish lifestyle. Beginning in the 1880s, she began to travel to England frequently and in the 1890s bought a home there, where she wrote The Secret Garden. Her oldest son, Lionel, died of tuberculosis in 1890, which caused a relapse of the depression she had struggled with for much of her life.[1] She divorced Swan Burnett in 1898, married Stephen Townsend in 1900, and divorced him in 1902. A few years later she settled in Nassau County, Long Island, where she died in 1924 and is buried in Roslyn Cemetery. In 1936 a memorial sculpture by Bessie Potter Vonnoh was erected in her honour in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. The statue depicts her two famous Secret Garden characters, Mary and Dickon.

Descriere scurtă

"A beautiful tale of courage against adversity" - The Guardian
"A Little Princess has been loved by thousands of little girls, but I claim that it is responsible for the shape of my life." - The Independent
"A must for everyone, a definite 'read before you die' sort of book." - The Guardian
***
What does it take to truly be a princess?
According to Sara Crewe: "It has nothing to do with what you look like, or what you have. It has only to do with what you think of and what you do."
Motherless Sara Crewe has always been given everything by her father: love, attention, and all the dresses, dolls, and books a little girl could want. Most of all, he gave her a vivid imagination, a love of stories, and a strong belief in always doing the right thing. After having enrolled her in an expensive boarding school, her father's death leaves her at the tender mercies of the cruel headmistress who demands a lifetime of servitude. Join Sara as she endures the hardships and indignities of her new-found poverty and in the process learns what it really means to be a little princess.
This is the perfect gift for girls and young women as they try to discover who they are and who they want to be
A Little Princess is one of Burnett's most popular tales: a timeless classic of the power of imagination and a good heart. It teaches the importance of showing respect and kindness to everyone whatever their race, station, or intelligence and shows that being poor in spirit is a choice that one need not make, regardless of the contents of one's purse.

Recenzii

 • "Sara Crewe is a Cinderella figure... She is intelligent and good humoured with an infectious warmth that embraces the lowliest of her new acquaintances. The sunshine continues when impoverishment and drudgery befall her and she relies on her private fantasies to preserve her natural zest for life." --Guardian

 • "Generations of children have fallen in love with the story of Sara Crewe, the little girl who imagines she's a princess in order to survive the hard times." --Daily Mail
'I pretend I am a princess, so that I can try and behave like one'. Without her beloved father and miles from home, it is very hard for Sara Crewe to like her new life at boarding school. Luckily Sara is always dreaming up wonderful things and her power of telling stories wins her lots of friends. When a letter arrives that brings disastrous news, the wicked headmistress Miss Minchin forces Sara to become a servant. Her lovely clothes and toys are taken away from her. She must work from dawn until midnight. How will Sara cope with her new found poverty? Can her imagination help her overcome this horrible situation? BACKSTORY: Read why Jacqueline Wilson loves this book and find out which pupil of Sara's school you are most like.

I'm not sure I could have survived childhood without Frances Hodgson Burnett. My sister and I would crawl into the attic of our suburban American house and pretend we were looking across London rooftops. We'd lost our parents and our money, but perhaps a mysterious monk would visit our miserable garret. -- Meg Rosoff Sara Crewe is a Cinderella figure... She is intelligent and good humoured with an infectious warmth that embraces the lowliest of her new acquaintances. The sunshine continues when impoverishment and drudgery befall her and she relies on her private fantasies to preserve her natural zest for life. Guardian Generations of children have fallen in love with the story of Sara Crewe, the little girl who imagines she's a princess in order to survive the hard times Daily Mail I read A Little Princess as a child, and from that there lingers still a whiff of the irretrievable quality of childhood reading. I was mesmerised by the account of Sara Crewe's lavish clothes; silks and satins and velvets -- Penelope Lively Independent

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
When Sara Crewe is brought from India to attend Miss Minchin's boarding school for girls in London, she arrives looking rather like a princess, with trunks full of the finest clothes. Yet, despite having her own pony and carriage, private room and personal maid, Sara is never a snob to her fellow pupils. Instead, she is kind, thoughtful and generous, and soon she is friends with all the girls there.

But when the terrible news of her father's death and failed financial investments arrives, Sara is suddenly left a penniless orphan. She is allowed to stay at the school, but as a servant, and the cruel Miss Minchin starves and ill-treats her. Faced with day after day of endless, exhausting work, Sara relies on her friendships and her imagination to get her through the misery of her circumstances. However, when Mr Carrisford and his assistant Ram Dass arrive from India and move in next door to the school, and warm blankets and delicious food mysteriously begin to appear in Sara's little room in the attic, it looks like her life is about to change for ever.
