Sinopse

In "Elsie's Young Folks in Peace and War," Martha Finley continues her exploration of the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the young in a society shaped by conflict and reconciliation. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the narrative is interspersed with lessons on faith, patriotism, and the impact of war on communities and family. Finley's literary style marries realism with didacticism, presenting a richly detailed social landscape, where characters grapple with personal and collective challenges, exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of youth. The book weaves a tapestry of familial bonds while advocating Christian values, mirroring the zeitgeist of the late 19th century when moral instruction through literature was highly regarded. Martha Finley, a prolific author and educator, is best known for her "Elsie Dinsmore" series. Her deeply held beliefs in Christian virtue and education informed much of her work, and her experiences during a divided era likely influenced her portrayal of young individuals navigating tumultuous circumstances. Finley's commitment to instilling ethical principles within her readership resonates throughout the narrative, making her a vital figure in children's literature of her time. "Elsie's Young Folks in Peace and War" is a compelling read for those interested in children's literature, historical perspectives on American society, and the interplay of personal growth within a broader cultural context. Finley'Äôs ability to tackle complex emotional landscapes through the lens of youth makes this work a timeless treasure for readers seeking both entertainment and enlightenment.

    Georgina watches me. She doesn’t try to poke me or pull my tail. She doesn’t push her face into mine, and she speaks very softly. “Welcome,” she says. 
     
    Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He’s been taken away from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. 
     
    In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about ten-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents’ divorce. The longer he’s in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina’s  
    creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons—despite his longing for Etta. 
     
    As Georgina sets out to build her most impressive skyscrapers yet, the Twin Towers, Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals have felt the pain of loss, but with some resilience and hope, we all possess the strength to rebuild. 
     
    “Elvis’s journey is sweet and funny and profound.”—Eliot Schrefer, National Book Award finalist

    Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. 
    In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.  
    In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
