Produktinformationen zu „Doctor Dolittle's Return (ePub)“
In 'Doctor Dolittle's Return,' the harmonious fusion of whimsical adventure and compassionate ethos continues to define Hugh Lofting's venerated literary style. The reader is once again invited to embrace the world of Doctor Dolittle, the gentle-hearted physician who communicates with animals. Lofting's narrative, redolent with Edwardian grace, cleverly interweaves the pastoral with the fantastic. Straddling the realms of post-war reflection and the burgeoning genre of children's literature, this 1933 work meticulously captures Dolittle's transition from lunar wanderer to earthly recluse, all while maintaining a seamless continuity with the beloved series. The richly imagined escapades are softened by a yearning for simplicity, an exploration profoundly resonant during the interwar years. Lofting's prose elegantly balances the extraordinary with the introspective, weaving an idyllic tapestry fit for young and old readers alike.
Hugh Lofting, a man of his time yet transcendent in his approach to storytelling, channels his experiences and the socio-cultural milieu into the fabric of Doctor Dolittle's world. Perhaps influenced by his own desires for post-First World War tranquility and a reaction against the technological fervor of the time, Lofting crafts a character whose homecoming is both an escape and a grounding. Tracing the protagonist's odyssey from the farthest reaches of space to the modest callings of home, Lofting emphasizes the universal longing for a harmonious existence amidst the clamor of progress and change. Beneath the narrative's surface lies the author's adept commentary on humanity, compassion, and the primal need for connection, true to the spirit of the earlier volumes.
'Doctor Dolittle's Return' is highly recommended for those who cherish the interplay of illustrious imagination and profound themes couched in accessible storytelling. Lofting's work stands as a testament to the enduring power of innocence and virtue in an increasingly complex world. It offers an opportunity to reignite the spark of childlike wonder, while also engaging adult readers through its undercurrents of depth and introspection. This tale, while intrinsically a continuation of an established saga, stands firmly on its own merits, providing both a sanctuary from modernity and a window into humanity's unchanging core. Perfect for a nostalgic read or as an introduction for new generations, this book remains a delightful excursion into the transformative power of kindness and empathy.

Autoren-Porträt von Hugh Lofting
Hugh John Lofting (1886-1947) was a British author, principally known for his creation of the classic children's character, Doctor Dolittle. Lofting was born in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and educated at Mount St. Mary's College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying civil engineering before turning to writing. During World War I, he served with the Irish Guards and it was in the trenches that he conceived the idea for his stories, as an alternative to writing his children about the horrors of war.His Doctor Dolittle character debuted in 'The Story of Doctor Dolittle' (1920), initiating a series of children's novels that reflected Lofting's interests in animals, environmentalism, and social issues. 'Doctor Dolittle's Return' (1933), one of the sequels, showcases Lofting's unique literary style-imaginative plots, an empathetic lead character with a talent for linguistics, and a deep concern for nature and the animal world. The Dolittle series has been adapted into films and musicals, securing Lofting's lasting legacy in children's literature. Beyond the Dolittle books, Lofting's lesser-known works, such as 'The Twilight of Magic' (1930) and 'Gub-Gub's Book' (1932), exhibit his versatile storytelling and visionary approach, often incorporating elements of fantasy and satire. Lofting's skillful blending of whimsy with serious themes of humanitarianism and conservation mark him as a pioneer in his field, whose works continue to be cherished by readers around the world.
