Porter, E: Pollyanna


en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2008
Miss Polly Harrington entered her kitchen a little hurriedly this June morning. Miss Polly did not usually make hurried movements; she specially prided herself on her repose of manner. But to-day she was hurrying-actually hurrying. Nancy, washing dishes at the sink, looked up in surprise. Nancy had been working in Miss Polly's kitchen only two months, but already she knew that her mistress did not usually hurry.

Notă biografică

Eleanor H. Porter (1868-1920) was an American novelist and children's author best known for Pollyanna, one of the most enduring works of early twentieth-century American juvenile fiction. Born in New Hampshire, Porter first trained in music before turning to writing, publishing short stories and novels for both children and adults. Her fiction often centres on domestic life, moral testing, emotional recovery, kindness, family bonds, and the transforming effect of a generous temperament.Porter's greatest literary legacy is Pollyanna Whittier, whose "Glad Game" became so widely known that the character's name entered common speech as a term for persistent optimism. Yet Porter's work is not merely cheerful; it repeatedly places hope against grief, loneliness, illness, stern duty, and disappointed affection. For readers of classic children's books, orphan stories, American family fiction, and morally centred juvenile literature, Eleanor H. Porter remains an important and highly readable author of the period.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
THE COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED TEXT 'Most generally there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it' When her father dies, Pollyanna is sent to live with her stern Aunt Polly. She is poor, orphaned and alone but Pollyanna just feels lucky to have an aunt at all. The truth is that her dear father, before he died, taught her a trick for life - the 'Glad Game' - the aim of which is to find the good in every bad situation. Before long, Pollyanna's sunny outlook has brightened up the whole town. But when a horrible accident occurs can the Game save Pollyanna? Includes exclusive material: In The Backstory you can test your knowledge of the book and find out if you're as optimistic as Pollyanna!
