A sárkányok könyve
A sárkányok könyve leírása
Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) a gyermekeknek írt mese- és fantáziairodalom úttörője. Klasszikus fantasztikus meséi, mint Az elvarázsolt kastély, A halász hetedik fia meg az Öt gyerek és az izé hazánkban is ismert és szeretett szerzővé tették, könyveihez használtan is szinte lehetetlen hozzájutni.
A sárkányok könyve című kötet témája hálás és kedvelt: a sárkányok – mindenféle fajtából – azért vonulnak föl a könyv lapjain, hogy felhőtlen kikapcsolódást hozzanak a gyermekeknek. Néhányuk mókás és csintalan, mások kifejezetten ijesztőek, számosan vadak és kiszámíthatatlanok. Az egyik jégből van, a másik a postahivatalban keres menedéket, egy újabb pikkelyes óriás pedig elragadja az állatkert legnagyobb elefántját. Még olyan is akad, amelyiknek békés dorombolása megnyugtat és megvigasztal egy tipegő kisgyermeket.
No de kik szállnak szembe ezekkel a lenyűgöző teremtményekkel? Hát persze, hogy merész kis hősök, jórészt 8 – 12 éves gyermekek, meg egy gonosz herceg, sőt, egy teljes futballcsapat is, amely eltűnik egy elvarázsolt könyv lapjairól felszálló brutális sárkány tüzes leheletében. Kötetünk nyolc történetet tartalmaz, és első ízben kerül magyar nyelven az olvasók elé. A könyvet Vaspöri Cintia kedves rajzai díszítik, minden mesét egy-egy eredeti és bájos grafikával kiegészítve. Minden meserajongónak ajánljuk ezt a lenyűgöző és minden lapján új csodákat felvonultató remek könyvet, melyet finom humorral, meghitt szeretettel és végtelen fantáziával írt meg a szerző.
Five Children and It
To Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, the house in the country promises a summer of freedom and play. But when they accidently uncover an accident Psammead--or Sand-fairy--who has the power to make wishes come true, they find themselves having the holiday of a lifetime, sharing one thrilling adventure after another.Asleep since dinosaurs roamed the earth, the ill-tempered, odd--looking Psammead --with his spider-shaped body, bat's ears, and snail's eyes --grudgingly agrees to grant the children one wish per day. Soon, though the children discover that their wishes have a tendancy to turn out quite differnetly than expected. Whatever they wish whether it's to fly like a bird, live in a mighty castle, or have an immense fortune --something goes terribly wrong, hilariously wrong.Then an accidental wish has horrible consequences, and the children are faced with a difficult choice: to let an innoncent manbe charged with a crime or to lose for all time their gift of magical wishes. Five Children and It is one of E. Nesbit's most beloved tales of enchantment.
