Porter, E: Pollyanna


en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2020
For most children being an orphan sent to live with your cold, stern, spinster aunt might be enough to dull their spirits. But not for 11-year-old Pollyanna Whittier. Thanks to "The Glad Game", an optimistic and positive attitude she learned from her father, Pollyanna begins to transform the town of Beldingsville, Vermont, into one of the most pleasant places to live in all the world. But when further tragedy strikes will Pollyanna's light begin to dull, or will she find a way to be glad no matter the circumstances?


First published in 1913 this classic of children's literature has become a regularly referenced part of pop culture. This edition is presented complete and unabridged along with eight full-page illustrations.

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!

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.
