Eleanor H. Porter (1868-1920), autora norte-americana, escreveu vários romances de sucesso; nenhum deles, porém, despertou tanto interesse no mundo inteiro quanto Poliana, de 1913. Já no primeiro ano de sua publicação, o livro vendeu mais de um milhão de cópias na Europa e nos Estados Unidos.Quando da morte de seu pai, a menina de dez anos, que já era órfã de mãe, vai morar com a tia Paulina, uma solteirona rica, severa e pouco afetuosa. Mas a vida da pequena cidade de Beldingsville vai mudar com a chegada desta que se tornou a própria personificação do otimismo na literatura ocidental. Poliana nunca deixa de praticar algo que o pai criou e lhe ensinou: o jogo do contente — a tentativa de sempre se posicionar de maneira positiva frente às adversidades.

Poliana

Porter, American novelist and creator of the Pollyanna series of books that generated a popular phenomenon. Oh, Money! Money! is another of her best-selling works, the book begins: There was a thoughtful frown on the face of the man who was the possessor of twenty million dollars. He was a tall, spare man, with a fringe of reddish-brown hair encircling a bald spot. His blue eyes, fixed just now in a steady gaze upon a row of ponderous law books across the room, were friendly and benevolent in direct contradiction to the bulldog, never-let-go fighting qualities of the square jaw below the firm, rather thin lips.
