  • The Little Friend

    Donna Tartt

    Paperback (Vintage, Oct. 28, 2003)
    The second novel by Donna Tartt, bestselling author of The Goldfinch (winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize), The Little Friend is a grandly ambitious and utterly riveting novel of childhood, innocence and evil. The setting is Alexandria, Mississippi, where one Mother’s Day a little boy named Robin Cleve Dufresnes was found hanging from a tree in his parents’ yard. Twelve years later Robin’s murder is still unsolved and his family remains devastated. So it is that Robin’s sister Harriet—unnervingly bright, insufferably determined, and unduly influenced by the fiction of Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson--sets out to unmask his killer. Aided only by her worshipful friend Hely, Harriet crosses her town’s rigid lines of race and caste and burrows deep into her family’s history of loss. Filled with hairpin turns of plot and “a bustling, ridiculous humanity worthy of Dickens” (The New York Times Book Review), The Little Friend is a work of myriad enchantments by a writer of prodigious talent.

But no matter what problems arise around and between them, they end up having fun together. Onur Tukel, whose career started in animation, has enlivened the text with mixed-media illustrations on every page, some small, some big. This is a perfect picture book in an early-chapter-book format.The author of Little Friends has donated this book to the Worldreader program

  • The Little Friend

    Donna Tartt

    Hardcover (Knopf, Oct. 22, 2002)
    The hugely anticipated new novel by the author of The Secret History—a best-seller nationwide and around the world, and one of the most astonishing debuts in recent times—The Little Friend is even more transfixing and resonant.In a small Mississippi town, Harriet Cleve Dusfresnes grows up in the shadow of her brother, who—when she was only a baby—was found hanging dead from a black-tupelo tree in their yard. His killer was never identified, nor has his family, in the years since, recovered from the tragedy.For Harriet, who has grown up largely unsupervised, in a world of her own imagination, her brother is a link to a glorious past she has only heard stories about or glimpsed in photograph albums. Fiercely determined, precocious far beyond her twelve years, and steeped in the adventurous literature of Stevenson, Kipling, and Conan Doyle, she resolves, one summer, to solve the murder and exact her revenge. Harriet’s sole ally in this quest, her friend Hely, is devoted to her, but what they soon encounter has nothing to do with child’s play: it is dark, adult, and all too menacing.A revelation of familial longing and sorrow, The Little Friend explores crime and punishment, as well as the hidden complications and consequences that hinder the pursuit of truth and justice. A novel of breathtaking ambition and power, it is rich in moral paradox, insights into human frailty, and storytelling brilliance.

  • My Little Friends

    Natalie Swan

    eBook
    Niniejsza dwujęzyczna seria została profesjonalnie zaprojektowana po to, by każdy rodzic, który zna język angielski choćby w stopniu podstawowym, mógł pomóc swojemu małemu dziecku postawić pierwsze kroki w nauce tego języka. Jest to kolekcja ciepłych historyjek zaprojektowana z myślą o czytaniu w domowym zaciszu, na przykład przed pójściem spać.Nie jest to kolejny zbiór przypadkowo wybranych i przetłumaczonych książek. Przeciwnie - jest to cała progresywna seria stworzona do celu uczenia małych dzieci języka obcego przez ich rodziców. Słownictwo powraca cyklicznie, jest specjalnie wyselekcjonowane i celowo limitowane. A to dlatego, że dziecko zapamięta lepiej jeśli materiał się powtarza, dotyczy jego świata i jego codziennego życia, nie przytłacza nadmiarem oraz bawi!Seria jest tłumaczona na wiele innych konfiguracji językowych. W przygotowaniu są też pliki audio, które będą dostępne do pobrania gratis.Koncepcja serii jest oparta na naukowych ustaleniach w dziedzinie nauczania języków obcych.Po pierwsze wiedza jest przyswajana bardziej efektywnie, kiedy płynie do mózgu za pośrednictwem wielu kanałów: słuchu, wzroku, ruchu, dotyku... Dlatego tekst jest skonstruowany tak, żeby mógł być zawsze zobrazowany - albo przez ilustracje, albo przez mimikę i gestykulację czytającego. Takie precyzyjne zilustrowanie tekstu daje ten efekt, że dziecko ma wrażenie rozumienia opowieści i nie buntuje się przeciwko nowemu językowi.Po drugie małe dzieci uczą się w kontekście naturalnym. Nie potrzebują lekcji gramatyki ani wykresów intonacji, żeby podchwycić obcy język i wchłonąć go jak gąbka wodę. Dlatego język niniejszej serii jest potoczny, zawiera naturalne dialogi oraz cenne powtórzenia. Treść historyjek w tej serii dobrana jest specjalnie do gustów, zainteresowań i wrażliwości małych dzieci. Bohaterami są zwierzęta, zabawki i małe dzieci, ich świat prosty i bezpieczny, a zakończenia zawsze szczęśliwe.I po trzecie, nauka języka obcego to nie jednorazowy projekt, tylko długometrażowe przedsięwzięcie i warto je rozpocząć w jak najmłodszym wieku. Dlatego właśnie książeczka, którą trzymacie w rękach, jest napisana z myślą o dzieciach 2-7 letnich oraz jest częścią większej całości. Niniejsza seria “rośnie” wraz z dziećmi i zapewni Wam materiał do nauki i zabawy na wielu kolejnych poziomach.Natalie Swan jest z wykształcenia lingwistą i pedagogiem języków obcych. Jest pisarką, tłumaczką i nauczycielką oraz matką dwojga dzieci, z których każde włada biegle trzema językami i mniej biegle kilkoma kolejnymi. Syn studiuje w Amsterdamie, a córka w Barcelonie. Są obywatelami świata w prawdziwym tego słowa znaczeniu. Tego też życzy Waszym dzieciom.
