Produktbeschreibung
T. Tembarom by Frances Hodgson Burnett, written in the early 20th century, explores themes of resilience, social class, and personal transformation. The protagonist, Templar Barom (known as T. Tembarom), is a poor, orphaned boy from Brooklyn who rises above his circumstances through optimism, hard work, and inherent goodness. The story follows his journey from a ten-year-old child grappling with the loss of his mother to a young man navigating the challenges of poverty and ambition. The novel opens with Tembarom's struggle to survive after his mother's death, thrusting him into the tough realities of life. His resourcefulness and cheery demeanor allow him to form connections with the people around him, including his peers and sympathetic adults, helping him to overcome the challenges of living in poverty. Tembarom's spirit, combined with his willingness to work tirelessly, leads him to a job in a newspaper office, marking the beginning of his upward trajectory. The novel explores social mobility, the nature of success, and the idea that one's worth is not determined by birthright or fortune, but by their integrity and relationships with others.

Autorenporträt
Anglo-American novelist Frances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester, England on 24 November 1849. She started writing when she was young to help her family through difficult times. After her father passed away in 1854, Frances Hodgson's circumstances became progressively more difficult as she grew older. The family left Europe in 1865 and relocated in New Market, Tennessee, close to Knoxville, but the support promised by a maternal relative did not materialize. Hodgson was successful in getting a story accepted by Godey's Lady's Book in 1868. Within a few years, Godey's, Scribner's Monthly, Peterson's Ladies' Magazine, and Harper's all routinely published her work. After spending a year in England, she married Dr. Swan Moses Burnett of New Market in 1873. A number one bestseller in 1886, Little Lord Fauntleroy eventually enjoyed success as a play, immortalized her son's curls and velvet suits, and was adapted into a silent film. Her stories often feature rags-to-riches themes that mirror her own journey from disadvantaged beginnings to renowned novelist. She became a hot topic due to her extravagant Victorian style attire, divorce, extensive travels, literary network of friends, and their gatherings. She was generous in financing different organizations, particularly those involving children.
