Eleanor H. Porter was born as Eleanor Hodgman in Littleton, New Hampshire on December 19, 1868, the daughter of Francis Fletcher Hodgman and Llewella Woolson. She was trained as a singer, attending New England Conservatory for several years, but later turned to writing. In 1892, she married John Lyman Porter and moved to Massachusetts. That is when she began writing and publishing her short stories and later novels. She died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on May 21, 1920 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Porter mainly wrote children's literature, adventure stories and romance fiction. Her most famous novel is Pollyanna (1913), later followed by a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). Her adult novels include The Turn of the Tide (1908), The Road to Understanding (1917), Oh Money! Money! (1918), Dawn (1919), Keith's Dark Tower (1919), Mary Marie (1920), and Sister Sue (1921); her short story collections include Across the Years (c. 1923), Money, Love and Kate (1923), Little Pardner (1926).
Porter achieved considerable commercial success: in 1913, Pollyanna ranked eighth among bestselling novels in the United States, second in 1914, and fourth in 1915 (it went through forty-seven printings between 1915 and 1920); in 1916, Just David ranked third; in 1917, The Road to Understanding ranked fourth; in 1918, Oh Money! Money! ranked fifth.
As soon as Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she begins to brighten up everybody's life. The 'glad game' she plays, of finding a silver lining in every cloud, transforms the sick, the lonely and the plain miserable - until one day something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad about it.
小时候读的睡前故事啦,那一版是绿色封面,插画很美。故事也很简单,很美,英国的乡村风格。故事淡淡的。不喜欢英文字典里的这个解释...因为其实整个故事并非写实风格的,是一种艺术的、文艺的风格,字典里的意思完全就没有理解这本书想要表达的东西。。我的评论太短了是怎么回...
评分《波丽安娜》 陈丹燕的书里最喜欢《上海的风花雪月》,《上海的风花雪月》里最喜欢“郭黛西的故事”,黛西郭最喜欢的书就是《波丽安娜》。我喜欢黛西郭,(尽管最向往的是同一本书里的“皮克夫人”),爱屋及乌,也那么喜欢波丽安娜。 波丽安娜,一个乐观开朗的姑娘,要玩一个...
评分 评分一直听闻这本童书,一直也没有读过,最初被吸引除了它的名气,还有它好看的装帧,碎花的硬壳树皮,让人爱不释手。之前《窗边的小豆豆》、《绿山墙的安妮》时,觉得这些可爱的半大的小女孩都是这样的可爱,好奇、童真。 孤儿波莉安娜在父亲过世后,被十几年未来...
评分非常好的励志故事,倒是觉得更适合成年人看,学习波丽安娜乐观处世的精神。 英文版是一直是英美国家中学生必读教材。
這曾經是我童年時的枕邊故事,暖色燈光下的動人回憶。
