Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The naturalist and conservationist side of Gene Stratton-Porter


Originally published in 1904, “Freckles” is a novel written by the American writer and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter. The novel is primarily set in the Limberlost Swamp area of Indiana, with brief scenes set in Chicago. The title character also appears briefly in Porter's “A Girl of the Limberlost,” second book of the Limberlost series.

As a clear reflection of Stratton-Porter's naturalistic vision, “Freckles” is marked by its frequent, detailed, and loving descriptions of the flora and fauna of the wilderness through the eyes of its innocent protagonist.

Freckles is a nameless, one-armed orphan who is too old to live in the state home any longer. When he shows up at a logging camp, thin and ragged and looking for employment, the tough and rugged loggers immediately dismiss him. But the Boss sees something special in Freckles and agrees to give him a job guarding a plot of valuable swampland rich in lumber. Determined to show his gratitude, Freckles risks life and limb to protect the trees and prove his worth to the Boss. While fighting off rattlesnakes, thieves, and loneliness, his kindness and character touch the hearts of the people and animals he meets. In the middle of the Indiana Limberlost, will Freckles find the love and answers to his past that he has always been missing?

    Dreams have long been a source of fascination, wonder, and mystery. From ancient civilizations to modern psychology, dreams have been viewed as gateways to hidden realms of consciousness, offering profound insight into our minds, emotions, and even our futures. In this book, we explore the concept of "Oneiric Omnipotence" — the untapped, infinite potential that lies within our dreams, waiting to be harnessed. Dreams are not merely random, nonsensical sequences; they are powerful tools that can be consciously shaped and used to unlock the vast reserves of our mind's creative and transformative capabilities. 
    The power of dreams lies in their ability to transcend the boundaries of our waking reality. In the world of dreams, the ordinary rules of time, space, and logic no longer apply. The dream state offers a limitless canvas for exploring alternate realities, confronting hidden fears, and visualizing our deepest desires. It is a realm where the impossible becomes possible, and the mind has the freedom to expand beyond its usual confines. Yet, this boundless potential remains largely untapped for many, simply because we often lack the awareness and tools to navigate it.

    After a successful first competition, twelve-year-old Harper is eager to keep on making her mark in Dance Starz. But lately, she's having a bit of "dancer's block." In her one-on-one with her teacher, Harper is reminded that dancing isn't just about the spins and leaps; it's about the emotion and passion for dancing, too. And lately, she hasn't felt that Harper has been living up to her usual standards. Vanessa will be choosing the first soloist to compete at the next competition for the team, and suggests to Harper that she find a way to figure out how to get that mojo back. 
     
     
     
    Thanks to a chance conversation, Harper joins the school musical. Not only is this an opportunity to polish up her stage presence, but as the newbie at school, Harper is excited to make some more friends. 
     
     
     
    But some of the teammates are not thrilled that Harper is doing something besides the dance team. Plus, their biggest rivals, the Belles, are looking to go toe-to-toe with them in the upcoming competition—and both teams have something to prove. Harper realizes that the musical, dance team, and school might be a little much. Can she figure out how to find her balance—on-stage and off?
