Beschreibung

'A literary masterpiece for all ages . . . The Yearling leaves you tearful, breathless, exhilarated' Michael Morpurgo

In the remote, unforgiving landscape of central Florida, Ezra 'Penny' Baxter, his wife Ora and their son Jody carve out a precarious existence. Only ever a failed crop away from disaster, life in the Big Scrub is one of lurking danger, wild beauty and the thrill of the hunt.

Jody's world is transformed when he rescues a starving fawn, who becomes his constant companion. But their bond is threatened when the yearling endangers the family's survival - and Jody is forced to make a terrible choice that will change him forever.

Winner of the 1939 Pulitzer Prize and an instant bestseller, The Yearling is a moving and richly evocative classic for readers of all ages.

Über den Autor

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896-1953) was an American short-story writer and novelist born in Washington, D.C. She is best known for developing a canon of regional literature for rural Florida, where she moved as an adult after purchasing seventeen acres of land to focus on farming oranges and writing fiction. She expressed deep feelings for the local nature and high regard for the near-wild backwaters of Florida in her late works. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings published several novels throughout her career, including Cross Creek, South Moon Under, The Sojourner, Blood of My Blood, The Secret River and When the Whippoorwill; and a short story collection. Her most famous book, The Yearling, was the best-selling novel in the United States in 1938 and won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1939. She died in St Augustine, Florida in 1953.
