Old YellerHardcover – Large Print, July 11, 1956
Purchase options and add-ons
When a novel like Huckleberry Finn, or The Yearling, comes along it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the respouse it evokes in the reader. Such a book, we submit, is Old Yeller; to read this eloIquently simple story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.
The big, ugly, yellow dog showed up out of nowhere one night and stole a whole side of hanging pork, and when Travis went for him the next morning that dog started yelling like a baby before he was touched. Then he got into the spring water with five-year-old Arliss, Travis took an easy hate to Old Yeller, as they started to call him; in fact, he would have driven him off or killed him if it hadn't been for brother Arliss' loud and violent protests, So Yeller stayed, and Travis soon found he couldn't have got along without him.
Pa and Ma and Travis and Arliss lived on Birdsong Creek in the Texas hill country. It wasn't an easy life, but they had a snug cabin that Pa had built himself, and they had their own hogs and their own cattle, and they grew most of what else they needed. The only thing they and the rest of the settlers lacked that year in the late 1860's was cash, so the men decided to get together and drive all the cattle up to the new market in Abilene, Kansas, more than six hundred miles away.
Travis was only fourteen, but he was proud of his new role as man of the family and determined to live up to his responsibility. It was hard work, too, plowing until his legs ached, chopping wood until his hands were raw and his head was spinning, weeding the garden in the hot sun, toting the heavy buckets tip from the spring, and trying to keep his mischievous little brother in line.
But there were pleasant moments, too: his Ma treating him like a man, and deer hunting in the early-morning stillness, and hot summer nights out in the corn patch under the stars with Old Yeller, trying to keep the coons and skunks out of the winter food supply. And there was plenty of excitement, like the fight between the two bulls, and the time Arliss nearly got mauled by the bear, and trying to catch and mark the new hogs. Here the suspense and excitement reach a peak, only to be topped a few pages later when the crazy-sick loafer wolf goes for Ma. Both times it is Yeller who saves them, only the second time it is not lucky for Yeller, as Travis comes to find out. And in finding out, Travis learns just how much he has come to love that big ugly dog, and he learns something about the pain of life, too.
Old Yeller is a story that will be read and treasured by many thousands for years to come. In a shorter form, this has appeared as a three-part serial in Collier's.

Es jetzt im Original zu lesen hat mir viel Freude gemacht. Es ist eine wunderschöne "Heile Welt" Geschichte, und ich war erstaunt, wieviel ich davon noch kannte.

さてOld Yellerを đọc んでいて tư い ra した の は, tư が tiểu học giáo thấp năm học の thời gian に trong mộng になっていた『 màu vàng い lão khuyển 』という bổn でした. Lúc ấy はスーツ tư の おじいさんが năm に một lần, hà đài に đại きな rương をくくりつけた tự 転 xe でやってきて, まるで phú sơn の dược bán り の ように rương から bổn を huyền quan trước に cũng べたも の です. そ の trung から mẫu が mua ってくれた の が『 màu vàng い lão khuyển 』でした. Gì độ くり phản し đọc んだか biết れません. そ の nội dung がOld Yellerに thật によく tựa ている の です.
“50 năm trở lên trước の bổn が quả たして nay khoảnh…” とは tư いましたが may mắn にも sách cổ の thông tín buôn bán で thấy つけることができ, すぐに lấy り gửi せました. Giới いた『 màu vàng い lão khuyển 』 ( nhi đồng hiến chương ái の sẽ 1960 ) を một mực thấy て, Old Yeller の コピーだと tin tưởng しました. Biểu giấy には ánh họa Old Yeller ( Walt Disney 1957 ) から の スチール chân dung が sử われ, “Nhật Bản danh khuyển cảm động câu chuyện mọi người ca tụng giáo dục truyện tranh vật ngữ” の văn tự が nhảy っていたからです. ネタ nguyên は đa phần, ánh họa Old Yellerか tân triều xã の 『 màu vàng い lão khuyển 』 ( 1959 ), もしくは tiểu học quán の 『 màu vàng い lão khuyển 』(1959 ) でしょう. アメリカ の danh khuyển を Nhật Bản の danh khuyển へと変 thân させる công việc tỉ mỉ をいくつか nhặt ってみますと, thời đại → nam bắc chiến tranh sau vsアジア・ Thái Bình Dương chiến tranh sau / sân khấu →テキサス châu ソールトブランチ の khai thác nông trường vs Hokkaido は võng đi の mục trường / phụ thân の số ヶ nguyệt の không ở → tiền mặt を đến るためにカンザスへ ngưu truy いvs Sapporo に ra giá ぎ/ món chính →トウモロコシvsジャガイモ/ đồ uống thủy → dũng き thủy vs phòng trong の giếng hộ / lên sân khấu する hoang dại động vật →アライグマやリス ( lương thực ), thanh サギ, こうもり, なまず ( lương thực ), ガラガラ xà, トカゲ, ツバメ, スカンク, コヨーテ, も の まね điểu, bảy mặt điểu ( lương thực ), lộc ( lương thực ), dã ブタ, trâu rừng, lang, hùng, heo などvsウサギ ( lương thực ) や dã khuyển, hùng, ếch といった cụ hợp です. Một chút, “old” の ý vị を lấy り vi えて “Tuổi già いた” としたために, “みすぼらしい lão khuyển” が “もと の たくましい thể trạng やうつくしい màu vàng い mao なみをとりもどし” “Đạn hoàn よりも sớm く đi りまわってえも の をおいかけました” などとトンチンカンなことになってもいますが, nửa thế kỷ をまたいで の đọc thư は đại いに hứng thú thâm いも の となりました.
Nguyên tác の オリジナリティーや làm 権などどこ thổi く phong, かつて の Nhật Bản は hôm nay の Trung Quốc や Hàn Quốc といい thắng bại だったんですね. ざら giấy に bạch hắc in ấn ながら, ta が gia でも tay が giới く1 sách 60 yên という liêm 価 ( nguyên tác に trung thật で toàn ページがカラー in ấn の tiểu học quán は120 yên ) で buôn bán してくれた nhi đồng hiến chương ái の sẽ に cảm tạ です.
