En plein coeur de la Floride sauvage des années 1870, les loups et les ours mènent la vie dure aux hommes. À douze ans, Jody travaille pour assurer la survie de sa famille et ne rêve que d'une chose: avoir un animal de compagnie avec qui jouer et dont il prendrait grand soin. Quand l'occasion se présente, le garçon recueille un jeune faon orphelin. Il ignore encore qu'il est sur le point de nouer une amitié hors du commun.
Un grand classique américain à redécouvrir absolument, célébré par le prix Pulitzer en 1939 et deux adaptations au cinéma. -
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE
'A literary masterpiece for all ages . . . a tale of growing up, of love and laughter, of tragedy and loss and grief - a tale that is so compelling that it turns the page for you: The Yearling leaves you tearful, breathless, exhilarated' MICHAEL MORPURGO
'An unsentimental, stone-cold classic that should be spoken of in the same breath - and read as religiously - as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird' THE TIMES
'A genuine classic . . . I was stunned to awe by The Yearling's beauty and strength' LAUREN GROFF
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.
