Аннотация

Bir varmış bir yokmuş, zamanın birinde, Hans Brinker adında yoksul bir genç yaşarmış. Yüreği iyilik dolu, vakur bir Hollandalı olan bu gencin, Gretel adında bir de kız kardeşi varmış. Babaları seneler evvel, bu memleketin meşhur setlerinden düşüp akli melekelerini yitirince vefakâr anneleriyle baş başa kalmışlar. Her şeyin üstesinden kendileri gelmeye çalışan gençlerimizin önüne, kader türlü türlü zorluklar çıkarmış. Her Hollandalı gibi onlar da yaşadıkları çetrefilli coğrafyadan nasiplerini aldıklarından sabır ve inançla devam etmişler yaşamlarına. Bu devran hep böyle sürüp gitmezmiş elbet, senelerce envaiçeşit derdi çocuk yaşlarına karşın büyük bir olgunlukla göğüsleyen ufaklıkların gün yüzü görme sırası gelmiş. Kendisi Amerika’da doğan, fakat ebeveynleri Hollandalı olan yazarımız Mary Mapes Dodge’un bilgilendirici bir dille meydana getirdiği bu kıymetli eseri, çocuk edebiyatına bir armağan olmasının yanı sıra Hollanda tarihi, kültürü, sanatı ve yaşayışı bakımından oldukça zengin bir içeriğe sahip olduğundan her yaştan okuyucunun zihnini renklendirecek keyifli bir okuma sunuyor.

Аннотация

The novel takes place in the Netherlands and is a colourful fictional portrait of early 19th-century Dutch life, as well as a tale of youthful honour. The book's title refers to the beautiful silver skates to be awarded to the winner of the ice-skating race Hans Brinker hopes to enter. Hans' father, Raff Brinker, suffered head trauma when he fell from a dike. It left him chronically ill, with episodes of amnesia and occasional violent outbursts, so he is unable to work. Mrs. Brinker, Hans, and Gretel must all work to support the family and are looked down upon in the community because they are poor. By chance, Hans meets the famous surgeon Dr.Boekman and begs him to treat their father, but the doctor's fees are expensive…

In Holland, poor but industrious and honorable 15 year-old Hans Brinker and his younger sister Gretel yearn to participate in December's great ice skating race on the canal. They have little chance of doing well on their handmade wooden skates, but the prospect of the race and the prize of the silver skates excites them and fires their dreams. Hans' father, Raff Brinker, suffered head trauma when he fell from a dike. It left him chronically ill, with episodes of amnesia and occasional violent outbursts, so he is unable to work. Mrs. Brinker, Hans, and Gretel must all work to support the family and are looked down upon in the community because they are poor. By chance, Hans meets the famous surgeon Dr.Boekman and begs him to treat their father, but the doctor's fees are expensive. What will Hans do now to help his father? Will he get to live his dream of skating on the ice?
