Great for a drinking game: Take a shot every time "glad" is written on the page.

الرواية كلاسيكية شيقة والترجمة رائعة لبثينة الإبراهيم والتي تشعرك بأن الرواية كتبت باللغة العربية!

إنها رواية تصلح لأي وقت ولأي سن!
لن تشعر معها بالضجر رغم حجمها!
عجبني نصفها الأول أكثر من النصف الثاني ولكنها رواية جميلة وتملأك بالسعادة والبهجة.

ولقد وجدت من عدة مصادر أن كلمة "بوليانا" قد دخلت عددًا من القواميس الشهيرة مثل أكسفورد، ويُعني بتلك المفردة "الشخص المفرط في تفاؤله وسعادته"، إذ يدعي هذا المبدأ أيضًا الانحياز الإيجابي، وهو ميل الشخص لتذكر الأشياء الجيدة بدقة أكبر من الأشياء المزعجة.
