Can you recommend some books about polio in fiction?

There is also a fictional account that might focus on a character who has recovered from polio and is now on a journey to inspire others. In this story, the character's struggle with the after - effects of polio and their determination to make a difference in the world would be the central theme.

Another polio - related fiction could be a story set in a small town where an outbreak of polio causes panic. The story follows different families and how they deal with the fear, the stigma associated with polio, and how the community comes together in the face of this disease.

Yes, there are. For example, 'The Cider House Rules' by John Irving touches on the topic of polio among other complex themes. It's a great work of fiction that weaves in the reality of polio and its impact on characters and society in a very engaging way.

There are many 1950s fictions that explore the lives of young people. While I can't immediately name one that is about a girl with polio, there were a number of books that delved into the difficulties faced by young adults during that time. It could be that such a book exists but is relatively unknown. You could also try searching for books about disability in the 1950s and see if any match the description of a young adult girl protagonist.

One great fiction book about books is 'The Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It's set in a mysterious library in Barcelona, and the main character discovers a book that seems to be haunted. Another is 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino, which plays with the idea of reading and different types of books within its narrative. And 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak is also a wonderful choice. It tells the story of a girl who steals books during World War II, showing the power of books even in the darkest of times.

One great example is 'The Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It's a story that revolves around a young boy who discovers a mysterious book in a forgotten library. The plot then unfolds with elements of mystery, love, and the power of books. Another is 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino. It plays with the concept of the reader's experience and different types of books within the fictional narrative.

One such book is 'March of Dimes: A History of the Fight Against Polio'. It tells the true story of how people worked hard to combat polio, which was a very scary disease for children. It shows the efforts of scientists, doctors and ordinary people.

Another book is 'The Submission' by Amy Waldman. It's about an architect winning a competition to design a 9/11 memorial, but things get complicated as he is a Muslim, which stirs up various reactions in the post - 9/11 American society.
