Gene Stratton Porter Knihy
Eugene Aubrey Stratton byl oddaným badatelem a autorem, který čerpal z rozsáhlých zkušeností z vojenské služby, zpravodajských služeb a vedení ve státní správě. Tato rozmanitá kariéra formovala jeho přístup k psaní, který se vyznačuje hlubokým zájmem o historii a společnost. Jeho dílo se ponořuje do složitých témat s důrazem na detail a analytický vhled. Strattonův jedinečný pohled, ovlivněný jeho mezinárodními zkušenostmi a akademickým zázemím, nabízí čtenářům obohacující a pronikavý zážitek.
Little Sister lives on an Indiana farm with her older siblings. The oldest of these siblings, Laddie, is a strong influence on her life as she grows up and learns about nature, family bonds, struggles and loves, and the complex joys of living in the country at the turn of the past century.
The collection features three cherished novels by Gene Stratton-Porter, highlighting her unique sensibility. "Freckles" and its sequel, "A Girl of the Limberlost," offer wholesome romances infused with elements of sadness, all set against the backdrop of the enchanting Limberlost Swamp. In contrast, "Laddie: A True Blue Story" presents a semi-autobiographical account of childhood, showcasing the author's personal experiences and deep connections to nature.
