A special 75th anniversary edition of the beloved American classic about a young girl''s coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.
From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for growing up in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New York demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior―such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce―no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life―from “junk day” on Saturdays, when the children traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Smith has created a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as deeply resonant moments of universal experience. Here is an American classic that "cuts right to the heart of life," hails the New York Times. "If you miss A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, you will deny yourself a rich experience."
Phiên bản đặc biệt kỷ niệm 75 năm của tác phẩm kinh điển được yêu thích của Mỹ về tuổi mới lớn của một cô gái trẻ vào đầu thế kỷ XX.
Ngay từ khi chào đời, Francie Nolan đã phải trở nên nghiêm khắc, vì lớn lên ở khu ổ chuột Williamsburg tại Brooklyn, New York đòi hỏi sự kiên cường, thông minh và sức mạnh tinh thần. Thường bị hàng xóm khinh thường vì hành vi thất thường và lập dị của gia đình cô - chẳng hạn như sở thích uống rượu của cha cô, Johnny và thói quen kết hôn liên tiếp mà không cần thủ tục ly hôn của dì Sissy - không ai, đặc biệt là Francie, có thể nói rằng cuộc sống của gia đình Nolan thiếu kịch tính. Những trải nghiệm hàng ngày của gia đình Nolan vừa choáng ngợp, vừa đau lòng, vừa nâng đỡ, vừa chân thành, vừa chân thành và dịu dàng đan xen với sự gắn kết gia đình. Betty Smith đã, trong những trang của A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, ghi lại những niềm vui của cuộc sống giản dị ở Williamsburg―từ “ngày rác” vào thứ Bảy, khi trẻ em đổi tiền kiếm được hàng tuần lấy tiền xu, đến sự phấn khích đặc biệt của những ngày lễ, mang đến lý do để ăn mừng và vui chơi. Smith đã tạo ra một tác phẩm nghệ thuật văn học tuyệt vời ghi lại một thời điểm và địa điểm độc đáo cũng như những khoảnh khắc cộng hưởng sâu sắc của trải nghiệm phổ quát. Đây là một tác phẩm kinh điển của Mỹ "đi thẳng vào trái tim của cuộc sống", tờ New York Times ca ngợi. "Nếu bạn bỏ lỡ A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, bạn sẽ từ chối cho mình một trải nghiệm phong phú".
