Orphans Home

إذا كنت تبحث عن قصة تحكي عن صغار مبتهجين، يقضون وقتًا ممتعًا في مدرسة داخلية، فابحث بعيدًا عن هنا. ﭬيوليت وكلاوس وصني بودلير أطفال أذكياء وماهرون، وقد تتوقع أنهم سيبلون بلاءً حسنًا في المدرسة، لكن الحقيقة غير ذلك. كانت المدرسة الداخلية بالنسبة إلى الإخوة بودلير حلقة بائسة أخرى من حياتهم التعسة. والحقيقة أنه في فصول هذا الكتاب المروِّع سيواجه الإخوة الثلاثة عضات الكابوريا، والعقوبات الصارمة، والطحالب، والامتحانات الشاملة، وحفلات الكمان، والنظام المِتريّ. ومن واجبي أن أظل مستيقظًا طوال الليل لكتابة تاريخ هؤلاء الإخوة الثلاثة وأنتَ تغط في نوم عميق، وفي هذه الحال قد يكون عليك اختيار كتاب آخر!

آمل لأجلك أنت، ألا تكون قد اخترت قراءة هذا الكتاب بحثًا عن تجربة سارة. إن كان الأمر كذلك، فأرجوك أن تضع هذا الكتاب جانبًا في الحال، لأنه، ومن كل الكتب التي تصف حياة أيتام بودلير التعيسة، الورشة البائسة هو الأكثر تعاسة حتى الآن.
