    “At the Foot of the Rainbow,” Gene Stratton-Porter's 1907 novel, uses fishing as a backdrop to tell the story of Jimmy Malone and Dannie Macnoun, who is in love with Jimmy's wife, Mary. The characters, setting, dialogue/dialect, and virtues are classic Porter; the issues and values are timeless; and the thought-provoking manner in which Stratton-Porter concludes her story leave one considering their own lives on a deeper level. Well worth a few hours of reading, this work also includes a lengthy biographical introduction on the author's life and work.

  • 作者简介
  • 吉恩·斯特拉顿·波特(1863-1924年),美国小说家和自然主义者。从其伤感的浪漫主义小说《无法无天》(1904年)和《肢体残缺的女孩》(1909年)中可以感知到她对大自然和野生生命丰富的了解和热爱。吉恩瓦·格蕾斯斯特·拉顿出生于印地安那州的瓦伯什郡,靠近林波洛斯特沼泽,因此她的大部分小说都以此为背景。1886年她与查尔斯·D·波特结婚。她最初在杂志上发表描写大自然的文章,还配有她自己画的插图或自拍的照片。
