Komünist Manifesto - Friedrich Engels ücretsiz kitap indir

Tharindu Sedara tharindusedara — It is 1721. Twelve-year-old Sophie Loveridge's father has always been a dreamer. Due to his refusal to be practical, the family has never had much money, and so they have lived at the home of Sophie's wealthy uncle, who is a merchant involved in the fish trade. Every summer, ships he owns are sent to New-Found-Land, in the New World, where there is abundant fishing. Sophie's father decides if he can go on an adventure, he can write a book and become famous like the author of Robinson Crusoe. But his dream changes Sophie's life when her father decides his wife and daughter must come along on his New World adventure. He decides they will travel on one of the fishing ships - and when fall comes and the ship returns to England, they will stay behind and spend the winter in the wilderness. Sophie doesn't want to leave England. She hates life on the ship and when they arrive in New-Found-Land she is frightened by such a lonely and desolate place. She becomes happier during the summer as she makes a few friends - the wives of two of the fishermen, an old fisherman who keeps an eye out for Sophie, and the old man's grandson. But when winter comes and almost everyone leaves Sophie is unperepared for how cold and hungry and lonely the winter will be. This book wasn't really one of my favorite Dear Canada books. I still enjoyed it somewhat, but I found it slow moving at times, and not as interesting as some of the other books. The character was likable but her family was rather strange and hard to relate to. I would recommend it to readers who are interested in this time period or who want to read all the Dear Canada books but if you are new to the series I would suggest starting with one of the others - my favorites are The Death of My Country, Banished From Our Home, and With Nothing But Our Courage.
