Ted Hughes strana 2 z 2

Tri divadelné hry plné napätia, komiky a zmyslu pre spravodlivosť napísal známy anglický básnik Ted Hughes pre detské školské predstavenia. Dôvtip, invenčnosť a pocit, že v deťoch treba rozvíjať zmysel pre čarovné aj skutočné vnímanie sveta, sa preniesli aj do rozprávkových hier, a tak sa Sean, blázon, Diabol a mačky, Kráska a Zviera či Traja Králi stali zdrojom potešenia a poučenia pre veľkých i malých čitateľov. Knihu preložila Miroslava Gavurová a ilustrovala Miroslava Rudášová.

The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff. Where had he come from? Nobody knows. How was he made? Nobody knows. Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction by the Iron Man and set a trap for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world.

Spring will marry you. A promise! Cuckoo brings the message: May. O new clothes! O get your house ready! Expectation keeps you starry. But at which church and on what day? In these poems Ted Hughes invites the reader to try and catch the spring (but she's elusive); to take a closer look at the March calf; to listen to the happiness of the summer grass; and to notice the 'weak-neck snowdrops' in winter. Earth is revealed in all its surprising richness and rawness, and so is humankind's own constantly changing relationship with the seasons.

Why is it The roustabout Rooster, raging at the dawn Wakes us so early? A warrior king is on fire! His armour is all crooked daggers and scimitars And it's shivering red-hot - with rage! First published in 1984, this book of prose-linked animal poems won both the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Signal Poetry Award. This new, illustated edition remains 'a very beautiful book: God and his son go to visit mankind and ask a few simple questions . . . the poems are pure enchantment' (The School Librarian).

Knihu Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! nakreslil v polovici päťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia Jim Downer a verše k obrázkom napísal slávny anglický básnik Ted Hughes. Kniha sa dlhý čas sa považovala za stratenú, ale roku 2008 sa ju podarilo objaviť v Hughesovej pozostalosti a vydať. Knihu predkladáme čitateľom ako faksimile nádherných pôvodných ilustrácií v preklade Jána Gavuru. Timmy bol parník a vlečná loď, jagal sa ako gong, plavil sa po rieke, spod kolies hrala mu muzika. Zdravý bol, rybička, silnejší než Kráľ Kong, mal nový náter a drevo bez jediného červíka. Takto sa začína podmanivý príbeh Timmyho, zabudnutého riečneho parníka, ktorý sa jedného dňa sa rozhodne utiecť zo zátoky a preskúmať šíre moria. Timmy má srdce na správnom mieste a chce pomáhať, no dlho akoby o jeho pomoc nikto nestál. Až kým mu osud do ceste nepriveje nádhernú plachetnicu, ktorú treba zachrániť z pazúrov hroznej búrky. Čo myslíte, podarí sa mu to, nájde znova svoje stratené sebavedomie?

Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction caused by the Iron Man. A trap is set for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world.

The Iron Woman has come to take revenge on mankind. Full of the power and fantastic imagination of his book The Iron Man", this sequel from the late Poet Laureate is a cry against the relentless pollution of the Earth's waterways through the dumping of industrial waste."

A classic of Victorian literature, and one of the earliest books written specifically for boys, Tom Brown's Schooldays has long had an influence well beyond the middle-class, public school world that it describes. An active social reformer, Hughes wrote with a freshness, a lack of cant, and a kind, relaxed tolerance which keeps this novel refreshingly distinct from other schoolboy adventures. This edition is the only one available, and comes with the outstanding 1869 illustrations by Arthur Hughes.
