Sobre este artículo
New York: Armed Services Editions, 1943. Special Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. Armed Services edition D-117, first edition thus, wrappers. Some wear and toning to covers and pages, but complete and in very good condition for its age and the fact it was made to be carried by soldiers during wartime. This title was so popular, it was reissued later in the series as ASE K-28. Published during WWII by the Council on Books in Wartime and distributed to GIs, Armed Services Editions were part of the U.S. military effort to fight against propaganda and to promote free thought. This title was one of the most popular in the ASE series, but is now very hard to find. Featured in the Grolier Club exhibit "The Best Read Army in the World", on view through December 30, 2023.
Sinopsis
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith is a classic coming-of-age novel set in the early 20th century. It follows the story of Francie Nolan, a young girl growing up in the impoverished Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Despite her challenging circumstances, Francie finds solace and inspiration in books and the natural world. The novel explores themes of poverty, family dynamics, resilience, and the power of education. Through Francie's eyes, readers witness her struggles, dreams, and triumphs as she navigates the complexities of adolescence and strives to rise above her circumstances. Smith's poignant storytelling captures the essence of hope, determination, and the indomitable spirit of a young girl yearning for a brighter future. An instant best-seller, 300,000 copies were sold just in the first six weeks after publication. In 1945 was adapted into a film directed by Elia Kazan starring James Dunn, Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell, and Peggy Ann Garner, who won a Special Academy Award for Outstanding Child Actress of 1945.
