Description

Surprisingly, the thing I like most about this book is actually the way it’s told. It’s told by a travelling bard like in the good old days, someone who goes from village to village to tell his stories. It’s such a small, insignificant and seemingly unimportant detail but it definitely elevates the experience as a whole for me. It gives this story such coziness and warmth, like you’re not reading a book but rather being told a bedtime story by a cozy campfire under a star filled sky. And I love it when a story has the ability to make you forget that you’re reading a book. When Podkin, Pook and Paz escape from Munbury warren at the beginning of The Legend of Podkin One-Ear, the bard says ‘That terrible night will only be remembered by those poor little rabbits, and they will never speak of it again.’ What do you think happened? Could you write an extra chapter about their escape from the Gorm and their night in the frozen woods?

The first book in the series follows the adventures of Podkin, his sister Paz and their baby brother Pook. Podkin kojeg upoznajemo na početku lijeni je zaigrani zečić koji malo mari za upravljanje zečinjakom kojeg bi trebao naslijediti. No, nakon bijega od Gvozdenih, Podkin će se promijeniti. Upadajući u razne nevolje, brinući za sestru Pazu i brata Pooka, upoznajući nove neprijatelje, ali stječući i pokojeg saveznika, Podkin će naučiti biti hrabar, nesebičan i neustrašiv - početak legendarnog ratnika koji tek ima postati. A negdje u tome svemu, otkrit će se i kako je i zašto postao Jednouhi. ;) This story is a bit of Watershipdown mixed with Lord of The Rings, and then for children of about 10 years old. An adventurous, imaginative story full of humor, warmth and loss. I brought this book out of the library for my daughter. A gamble. But she loved it. So much that she made me read it. And so I did. Dit verhaal houdt ergens het midden tussen Watershipdown en Lord of The Rings, en dan voor kinderen van een jaar of 10. Een avontuurlijk, fantasierijk verhaal vol humor, warmte en verlies. Dit boek heb ik blind uit de bibliotheek meegenomen voor mijn dochter. Een gokje. Maar ze vond het geweldig. Zo geweldig dat ik het van haar absoluut moest lezen. En dat heb ik dus gedaan. Podkin’s world has been taken over by a race of evil iron-covered rabbits called the Gorm. When they come to his warren one Bramblemas Eve, he finds himself running for his life and fighting to survive.Podkinova priča pustolovna je, dirljiva i predivno napisana avantura koja će osvojiti baš svakog čitatelja, bez obzira na dob. Njeni srčani i dragi likovi postat će prijatelji od kojih se nećete htjeti rastati, i čije ćete nevolje pratiti sa zebnjom u srcu, a pobjede pozdravljati s iskrenim veseljem. Bila je večer uoči Kupinova kada se jedan bard zaustavio potražiti sklonište u zečinjaku Trnjak, zauzvrat za priču. A priča koju je započeo pričati započela je također na večer uoči Kupinova, kada je blagdansku idilu jednog drugog zečinjaka prekinuo napad zlih Gvozdenih, uslijed kojeg je troje malih zečića moralo pobjeći kako bi sačuvalo živu glavu. Jedan od tih zečića bio je upravo legendarni Podkin. All the secondary characters were really bland, given maybe a few chapters of exposition explaining more about their soon to be dues ex machina skill sets than there actual personalities (which were non existent anyways so bleh.) Following on from the first book, Podkin and Paz are now hiding in Dark Hollow warren, deep in the forest of Grimheart. The Gorm have spread even further, and they must undertake a deadly mission into the heart of their territory to find a magical weapon that might give them an edge in the coming battle.

Het verhaal gaat over Podkin, de zoon van een stamhoofd, die met zijn oudere zus en jonge broertje vlucht uit zijn burcht als de slechte Goroms binnenvallen De Goroms doden zijn vader en nemen alle anderen gevangen. En dat doen ze bij alle burchten die ze binnenvallen. Er komen geen mensen voor in dit verhaal, alleen konijnen die zich wel erg menselijk gedragen. Podkin, die aan het begin van het verhaal nog twee oren heeft, verandert van een lui jong konijn dat nog te beroerd is om te willen leren lezen en schrijven, in een dappere strijder die het opneemt voor zijn familie. My girl Paz out here, ready to be chief. She's got weapons skills, leadership skills and a clever head on her shoulders. But this boy out here doing her dirty by calling her bossy and saying she's a sly ass show off, like nah. And then, pouring salt in the wounds - makes her nothing more than a damsel in distress for most of the book. Borba ili povijest, nije bilo bitno, Podkin je jednostavno volio – drijemati. Kakve koristi od svega toga kada obitavaš u sigurnosti svoga zečinjaka, pod okriljem svog moćnog oca i poglavice? Usred svog drijemanja Podkin nikako nije mogao znati da je i njegov zečinjak na meti Gvozdenih koji su na putu uništenja jedne davno i teškom mukom uspostavljene ravnoteže sile i moći. Most of my favourite children’s books feature animals with human traits ‘Watership Down’ ‘Mrs Frisby and the rats of NIMH’.

Ovo, ipak, nije jedna od tih priča. Ovo je priča o malenom zečiću koji tek treba postati legendom. Riječima barda iz čijih je usta priča izašla, ova je priča različita. Zato što je istinita. Ono što ovoj priči daje dodatnu čaroliju predivne su ilustracije, a za lakše snalaženje unutar Pet kraljevstava, tu je i divno oslikana mapa. Pohvale i za prijevode naziva zečinjaka i drugih mjesta unutar Pet kraljevstava, koji su mi zvučali osobito toplo i simpatično, te pamtljivo, baš kao u onim najboljim pričama.

Svašta bi se dalo pomisliti o malenom Podkinu koji jednostavno – na veliku frustraciju njegovih roditelja, sestre i učitelja - uživa u izbjegavanju svih lekcija koje bi mu, kao sinu plemenskog poglavice, mogle itekako biti od koristi. When the bard is suggesting some stories to the children, he mentions the tales of Beobunny and The Fisher Rabbit. What do you think they might have been about? Could you write your own version?

Uki must dodge the Endwatch, the Shrikes, Clan Septys and the guards and find a way to complete his quest before all is lost.There's a map in the front of the book but only a very small portion is actually adventured in. Which is not so bad but the idea of having a map is to add atmosphere and to help the reader physically follow the protagonist through their journey. But having only a small portion of the map explored makes it difficult to perceive the protags anguish and difficulties. It also means that such a small section isn't named specifically. So all I really know it that walked around this forest patch for ages. It feels like the protagonists come out on top maybe a little bit too easy in the end. Everything leading up to it is set up quite well though, so it all does make sense.
