Résumé
"Hans Brinker; Or, The Silver Skates" by Mary Mapes Dodge is a classic tale set in the frozen canals of Holland, focusing on the lives of two impoverished siblings, Hans and Gretel Brinker. The story begins with the children using makeshift wooden skates, crafted by Hans, to enjoy the winter ice. Despite their poverty, they are content and resourceful, helping their mother, Dame Brinker, manage the household while caring for their father, Raff Brinker, who has been mentally incapacitated since a work accident. The Brinkers' lives take a hopeful turn when Hilda van Gleck, a kind-hearted girl from a wealthy family, offers them money to buy proper skates. Hans, however, is determined to earn the money by carving a wooden chain for Hilda. The narrative explores themes of resilience, family loyalty, and the pursuit of dreams, as Hans and Gretel prepare for a grand skating race with the hope of winning a pair of silver skates. The story also delves into the mystery of the Brinkers' missing money, which disappeared around the time of Raff's accident. Through the children's determination and the kindness of others, the tale highlights the power of hope and perseverance in overcoming adversity.
