Beschreibung

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett's masterpiece, 'A Little Princess,' is a touching narrative woven with themes of resilience, compassion, and the intrinsic richness of imagination. The story follows the young protagonist, Sara Crewe, whose life is upended by severe tragic circumstances after the death of her beloved father. Stripped of her fortune, Sara's world is transformed from one of affluence to destitution as she is mistreated by the spiteful headmistress of her boarding school. However, it is through her inner grace and the power of her stories that Sara endures. The book showcases Burnett's adept use of a third-person omniscient narrator, allowing a window into the minds of multiple characters. Deploying a fluid, descriptive prose, Burnett writes within the Victorian and Edwardian tradition of girl's literature, yet with a timeless quality that continues to resonate with readers across generations.
Burnett, born in 1849 in Manchester, England, emigrated to the United States in 1865. Drawing from her experiences of socioeconomic contrasts, and undoubtedly informed by the hardships she herself faced—including the untimely death of her son—Burnett exhibits a profound understanding of the emotional spectrum that accompanies human experiences, which flickers through the pages of 'A Little Princess.' The novel, possibly inspired by her own life, serves not only as a salient social commentary but also as an illustration of undying hope amidst despair.
The book, 'A Little Princess,' is recommended for readers who appreciate classic children's literature that transcends the boundary of age, offering a rich panorama of emotional and moral development. Burnett's narrative invites the audience to journey alongside Sara as she navigates adversity with unwavering strength and kindness. This story is not only a testament to Burnett's narrative acumen but also an enduring emblem of the power and triumph of the human spirit. It is a must-read for anyone looking to be inspired, to find strength in vulnerability, and to behold the transformative magic of kindness.

    Although the story of Figaro's success in preventing the Count of Almaviva's seduction of his fiancée Susanna was politically explosive, it was tolerated in the court of the relatively enlightened Habsburg Emperor Joseph II. Mozart's opera, Le Nozze di Figaro, uses a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, and was premièred in Vienna in 1786.  It was based on a famous play by the Frenchman Beaumarchais, a sequel to The Barber of Seville. Characters including Figaro, the Countess,  Cherubino the page, Doctor Bartolo and Barberina the gardener's daughter sing a succession of famous arias – such as Se vuol ballare, Non più andrai, Dove sono, Porgi amor and Voi, che sapete, to mention but a few – in which Mozart's musical characterisation is legendary. Written by Michael Steen, author of the acclaimed The Lives and Times of the Great Composers, 'Short Guides to Great Operas' are concise, entertaining and easy to read books about opera. Each is an opera guide packed with useful information and informed opinion, helping to make you a truly knowledgeable opera-goer, and so maximising your enjoyment of a great musical experience. Other 'Short Guides to Great Operas' that you may enjoy include Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni and The Barber of Seville.
