كتاب The Slave Dancer PDF حكمت يوسف : 1973م - 1443هـ The Slave Dancer Growing up, Paula Fox often referred to herself as a “traveling child.” Born in 1923 in New York City, Fox seldom saw her parents or even lived in the same place for more than a year or two. Her father wrote scripts for stage plays and for movies. While her parents were working in Hollywood and London, Fox lived with relatives and family friends. Fox spent the first six years of her life in New York State at the home of a minister. The minister, who enjoyed writing, taught the young girl to read and to appreciate the art of storytelling. One day, while preparing a sermon, the minister asked Fox to suggest a topic. He worked her response, a waterfall, into his sermon the following week. It was then that Fox realized that “everything could count, that a word, spoken as meant, contained in itself an energy capable of awakening imagination, thought, emotion.” Soon thereafter, Fox told the minister she hoped to some day become a writer. After leaving the minister’s care, Fox was taken to California for a brief period of time. She was then sent to live with her grandmother on a sugar plantation in Cuba, where she learned to speak Spanish fluently. During a political revolution, for her own safety, she was sent back to the United States. .
