słów o autorze:Mazo de la Roche (January 15, 1879 – July 12, 1961),
born Mazo Louise Roche in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, was the
author of the Jalna novels, one of the most popular series of books
of her time.Mazo de la Roche was the only child of William Roche, a
salesman, andAlberta(Lundy) Roche. She was a lonely child and the
family moved frequently during her childhood due to the ill health
of her mother and her father's many jobs. She became an avid reader
and developed her own fictional world that she called "The Play" in
which she created imaginary scenes and characters.At the age of
seven, her parents adopted de la Roche's orphaned younger cousin
Caroline Clement, who joined in her fantasy world game and would
become her lifelong companion. She wrote her first short story at
the age of nine.One of the family's moves meant some years on a
farm owned by a wealthy man who farmed as a hobby. There de la
Roche began to develop her fantasy world of rural aristocracy that
would become Jalna.[edit] Early writingDe la Roche had her first
story published in 1902 in Munsey's Magazine but did not begin her
writing career in earnest until after the death of her father. Her
first two novels, Possession (1923) and Delight (1926), were
romantic novels and earned her little in income or recognition.Her
third novel, Jalna, was submitted to the American magazine Atlantic
Monthly, winning a $10,000 award. Its victory and subsequent
publication in 1927 brought de la Roche fame and fortune at the age
of 48.[edit] Jalna seriesHer books became best-sellers and she
wrote 16 novels in the series known as the Jalna series or the
Whiteoak Chronicles. The series tells the story of one hundred
years of the Whiteoak family covering from 1854 to 1954. The novels
were not written in sequential order, however, and each can be read
as an independent story.It is interesting to note the similarities
and differences in the experiences of the Whiteoaks family and de
la Roche's. While the lives and successes of the Whiteoaks rise and
fall, there remained for them the steadiness of the family manor,
known as Jalna. De la Roche's family endured the illness of her
mother, the perpetual job searches of her father, and the adoption
of her orphaned cousin while being moved 17 times. Her family did
work a farm for a few years for a wealthy man who owned the farm
for a hobby. Several critics believe that Finch from Finch's
Fortune (1932) is a reflection of de la Roche herself. The names of
many of the characters were taken from gravestones in
aNewmarket,Ontariocemetery.In the 1970s, a land developer
inLondon,Ontarioused the characters from de la Roche's Jalna series
to name streets for a new subdivision named White Oaks. Streetnames
used from the Jalna series include:Jalna Boulevard,Ernest
Avenue,Renny Crescent,Finch Crescent,Nicholas Crescent,Alayne
Crescent,Archer Crescent,Piers Crescent, Meg Drive.[1]In 1990, a
new French-immersion public school in de la Roche's birthplace
ofNewmarket,Ontariowas named in her honour.Responding to an enquiry
on the pronunciation of her name, her secretary told The Literary
Digest: "Her Christian name is pronounced may'zo, and Roche is
pronounced rosh, to rime with Foch." (Charles Earle Funk, What's
the Name, Please?, Funk & Wagnalls,
1936.)
