Quentin Blake Knihy

Nik nepochybuje o tom, že pán Wonka je úžasný čokoládový mág, ale Charlie i jeho rodina ani trochu nedôverujú jeho pilotným schopnostiam, najmä ak to, čo pilotuje, je veľký sklený výťah, stúpajúci do stratosféry.

Každé dieťa vie, že kradnúť sa nesmie. No pán Lišiak kradne preto, lebo jeho rodine hrozí hlad a prenasledovanie. Mali by sme ho za to odsúdiť? Lenže on si sem-tam uchmatol niečo z cudzieho, aj keď mu hlad bezprostredne nehrozil... Tak či tak mu pri čítaní tohto vzrušujúceho príbehu budete držať palce, pretože pre záchranu svojej rodiny, ba aj iných ohrozených zvieratiek, využije svoju líščiu prefíkanosť. V očiach všetkých sa tak stane jednoducho fantastickým.

Průvodce úžasnými příběhy mistra vypravěče, tvůrce roztodivných postaviček, fantastických bytostí, příšer a příšerek je určena pro všechny dětské a dospělé lidské bytosti s dětskou duší nebo sklony k dětinskosti. Tato pozoruhodná kniha vznikla následkem magického kouzla a její čtení je jen na vlastní nebezpečí! Co jsou to fňokurky? Jak připravit obávaný lektvar Zpožděný myšotvor? K čemu je dobré Pevnědrželovo lepidlo? Proč je nejlepší volbou patentovaný model kočárku „Pytlák“? Jaké jsou doopravdické prevítí fígly? Podle čeho poznáte skutečnou čarodějnici? To všechno a spoustu dalších pozoruhodných a zábavných informací najdete v obrázkovém průvodci příběhy Roalda Dahla.

Príbeh malého, výnimočne nadaného dievčatka, ktoré v sebe objaví schopnosť pohybovať predmetmi na diaľku Vás pravdepodobne prinúti - ako sa to stalo miliónom detí, ale i dospelých na celom svete - nepustiť knihu z rúk prv než ju dočítate. Vďaka deju plnému napätia, originálnych nápadov a svojrázneho, niekedy až čierneho humoru sa kniha stala ihneď po prvom vydaní v roku 1988 bestsellerom. K úspechu knihy prispievajú aj nenapodobiteľné ilustrácie jedného z najrenomovanejších britských ilustrátorov, Quentina Blaka, dlhoročného spolupracovníka R. Dahla. S potešením predkladáme túto knihu slovenským deťom, ale aj všetkým dospelým, ktorí si chcú v zhone všedného dňa pripomenúť zázračno detskej duše.

Môže malé dievčatko zvíťaziť nad hroznými, ozrutnými obrami - ľudožrútmi, ktorí šíria strach po celej krajine? Máte pravdu - nemôže. Iba ak ... iba ak by jej pomohol dobrý kamarát, rovnako veľký ako oni - Kamoš obor. A nemyslite si, že malá Sophia prežíva v príbehu iba strach a napätie. Kamoš obor je totiž veľmi zábavný spoločník a Sophiu i vás často rozosmeje. No a pretože má rád deti, určite sa stane aj vaším kamarátom. V knihe sa stretnete dokonca aj s anglickou kráľovnou.

Toto je pravdepodobne prvý "detský horor" vôbec (ak sem nerátame, povedzme... Červenú čiapočku). V príbehu malého chlapca, ktorého čarodejnice premenia na myš, zažijete scény, pri ktorých tuhne krv v žilách, no i množstvo komických situácií. Koniec príbehu je prekvapujúci. Vzťah babičky a vnuka, začarovaného do zvieracej podoby, vás určite dojme a azda vám i trochu pomôže v hľadaní odpovede na otázku, čo je v ľudskom živote dôležité a čo nie. Za tento neodolateľne originálny príbeh, ktorý bol i sfilmovaný, získal Roald Dahl, ktorého dnes už netreba ani slovenským čitateľom predstavovať, prestížnu literárnu cenu Whitbread Award.

V jednu tmavú noc je otec nútený svojmu synovi odhaliť o sebe veľké tajomstvo, o ktorom doteraz Danny nemohol nič tušiť. Toto tajomstvo celkom zmení ich život, dni začnú plynúť oveľa rýchlejšie ako doteraz, vyplnené vzrušujúcimi udalosťami. Spoločne prežité dobrodružstvá ich vzťah ešte viac upevnia, pretože "každé dieťa si zaslúži rodiča, ktorý je plný prekvapení."

Chloe je osamelé dievča bez priateľov a navyše žije v tieni neznesiteľne talentovanej sestry. Zoznámi sa s pánom Smraďochom, miestnym bezdomovcom. Síce trošku smrdí, ale je to jediný človek, ktorý sa k nej správa milo. Dokonca ešte milšie ako mama snobka od kosti. Mama kandiduje do Parlamentu a sľubuje voličom, že z mestečka zmiznú bezdomovci, a tak všetko nasvedčuje tomu, že Chloe príde o jediného priateľa. Až kým nenájde miesto, kde by ho mohla skryť. Niektoré tajomstvá môžu dopadnúť všelijako. A pokiaľ ide o tajomstvá, pán Smraďoch ich má zrejme viac, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá...

Malý Jakub je sirota. Jeho dve tety, Chuduľa a Bacuľa, s ktorými žije, sa k nemu veru nesprávajú práve najlepšie - vytrpí si od nich dosť ústrkov, nadávok ba i bitky. Jeho život plynie bezútešne, plný tvrdej práce medzi múrmi záhrady a domu, bez jediného priateľa. Jednej noci sa však všetko zmení: v záhrade vyrastie broskyňa obrovská ako dom. Kto býva v kôstke tejto rozprávkovej broskyne, by vás deti, ani vo sne nenapadlo. Tiež by ste si iste nepomysleli, že tieto prečudesné a na prvý pohľad strašné tvory sa stanú Jakubkovými najlepšími priateľmi, s ktorými prežije fantastickú cestu ponad oceán. Tento čarovný príbeh je ilustrovaný originálnymi kresbičkami Quentina Blaka, jedného z najuznávanejších britských ilustrátorov.

Skamaráti sa so starším dievčaťom s rovnakými záujmami a tá mu pomôže splniť si sen: Dennis sa vyberie do školy v dievčenských šatách. A vtedy sa začnú všetky problémy.

A ako to s Hastrošovcami nakoniec dopadne? Tak ako v každej rozprávke...
