The Country of the Pointed Firs - 9 Angebote vergleichen

The narrator, a Bostonian, returns after a brief visit a few summers prior, to the small coastal town of Dunnet, Maine, in order to finish writing her book. Upon arriving she settles in with Almira Todd, a widow in her sixties and the local apothecary and herbalist. The narrator occasionally assists Mrs. Todd with her frequent callers, but this distracts her from her writing and she seeks a room of her own. Renting an empty schoolhouse with a broad view of Dunnet Landing, the narrator can apparently concentrate on her writing, although she continues to spend a great deal of time with Mrs. Todd, befriending her hostess and her hostess's family and friends. The schoolhouse becomes a place of mythic significance and for the narrator the location is a center of writerly consciousness from which she makes journeys out and to which others make journeys in, aware of the force of the narrator's presence, out of curiosity, and out of respect for Almira Todd. Sarah O. Jewett, 22.9 cm x 15.2 cm x 0.4 cm mm, Buch.

A new, beautifully laid-out edition of the 1896 classic novella, The Country of the Pointed Firs , by Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), set in the fictional Maine town of Dunnet Landing . Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909) was an American novelist and short-story writer, best known for her works set along seacoast of rural Maine that captured the spirit of the region and its people. Her works often featured independent and capable female protagonists, struggling to find meaning in their rural settings. She is remembered as one of the earliest and most acclaimed practitioners of American literary regionalism - that is, genre writing where the work's geographic setting and its dialect, customs, history and landscape take on special significance - and as one of the most celebrated and accomplished female American writers of her era. Among her most acclaimed works are the novella The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), the novel A Country Doctor (1884), the short story collection Deephaven (1877), and other short story collections featuring her fictional Maine town Dunnet Landing .
