Produktbeschreibung
The secret garden centers on personal transformation through solitude, discovery, and the healing power of nature. The story begins with a deeply unhappy and neglected child who finds herself abruptly transplanted into a lonely and unfamiliar estate. Removed from all former structures of comfort and discipline, she is thrust into a life that demands observation, independence, and introspection. This new environment, filled with cold hallways and distant adults, offers no guidance only silence and space. In this emptiness, she begins to notice the world beyond her own misery. Her growing interest in the natural surroundings parallels a shift in her inner world. Through secret places and quiet companionships, she develops an awareness of vitality, kindness, and connection, moving from bitterness to empathy. The novel illustrates how overlooked or forgotten things, much like neglected spaces and individuals, can come to life again when given attention and care. It connects emotional rebirth to physical renewal, emphasizing the restorative possibilities found in cultivating both gardens and relationships. The hidden garden becomes not only a physical refuge but a symbol of internal awakening and shared wonder.
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.
