《公主日記》是梅格·卡伯特的一部青春文學系列作品,講述的是少女阿梅莉亞·“米婭”·泰梅波莉斯的傳奇故事。米婭就讀于阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦高中,與非常開明的單親媽媽生活在一起。她的人生因為父親的一次到訪而徹底改變。原來,她的父親被診斷出患有癌癥,無法再生育。鑒于此,他才終于告訴了米婭一個他和米婭的母親以及祖母隱瞞了多年的秘密:他其實是吉諾維亞公國(系作者虛構(gòu))的國王。由于他患病需要接受治療,米婭如今成了該國的公主兼王儲。
一開始聽到這個消息的時候,米婭并不愿意受命出任公主,統(tǒng)治吉諾維亞。她還擔心這一新身份會讓她在學校遭到孤立,因此寧愿只做一個普普通通的少女。在該系列書中,米婭后來慢慢地適應了公主這一身份,并接受了成為一國之君的想法。
小編推薦理由
每個女孩心中都有一個成為公主的夢想。我們會夢想著自己從丑小鴨變成白天鵝,夢想著自己從灰姑娘變成白雪公主。盡管漸漸長大的我們慢慢明白,童話故事之所以美麗,是因為現(xiàn)實里很少有童話故事。于是,我們和米婭一樣,只是單純地做著夢,從未想過這個夢想有朝一日會成真。當夢想真的變成現(xiàn)實,一切還會如童話故事般那么美好嗎?公主的身份會引來別人的羨慕,卻也可能會招來別人的排斥。優(yōu)雅的言談舉止會讓人看起來高貴,但這份高貴的背后付出的可能是失去真正的自己。我們可能只注意到了公主的光環(huán),而從未考慮過成為公主需要肩負的責任?;蛟S對你我來說,這是一個夢想成真的故事。但對米婭來說,這是一次成長的蛻變,也是一曲青春的贊歌。
經(jīng)典語句
* I am so NOT a princess ... You never saw anyone who looked less like a princess than I do.
我是如此不像一位公主……你從未見過任何人看上去比我更不像公主。
