The Origin and Nature of Folk Music: As Exemplified in the Welsh National Melodies was originally published in 1911. Kenneth Morris was a fantasy writer and Theosophist from Wales. In this short piece, he looks at the bardic poetry and chants of Ireland, Wales and England, called a "hwyl".

Nella narrativa quioroghiana tutto riconduce al confronto tra uomo e natura in un parallelo che richiama la dualità Uomo-Destino della cultura classica. Le descrizioni naturalistiche, minuziose e precise, evidenziano una forte conflittualità nella relazione e la natura ostile, cieca, ma giusta è quasi sempre vincitrice sull'uomo. La morte del contadino o del pescatore a causa di un qualche animale selvaggio, che sia un serpente velenoso, un coccodrillo o un parassita del sangue, sono sempre parte di un gioco letale in cui l'uomo cerca di sopraffare la natura.

When he meets a beautiful black pig named Pig-Wig, the two make plans to escape.

Sono, queste, le storie del mondo di Beatrix Potter, la famosa disegnatrice e scrittrice di storie. I suoi personaggi si rincorrono da una storia all'altra e descrivono un piccolo mondo che, come un ologramma, ridisegna il mondo degli uomini adulti con le sue cattiverie e gentilezze; gli animali che percorrono le storie sono antropomorfizzati, ma, al contempo, interagiscono col mondo degli uomini in tutta la propria animalità: rischiano quindi di essere catturati e mangiati, e, nonostante i loro dialoghi e filastrocche vengano accuratamente descritti, si dice poi che essi possano parlare solo nella notte della vigilia di Natale.

Doctor Dolittle is one of kind. Not only can he talk to animals - but he can understand them too! One day Doctor Dolittle receives a message from Africa - the monkeys there need his help.

Join the doctor and his animal friends on an amazing adventure. They even meet the rarest of all animals, the two-headed pushmi-pullyu!

Doctor John Dolittle is a physician living in England who loves animals. He acquires many animals in his small home, but the volume of animals causes his human patients to be uncomfortable and seek out other practitioners. Doctor Dolittle does the most sensible thing in that situation - learns to speak to the animals from his pet parrot and takes up veterinary medicine instead of human medicine.

In this sensitive children's adaptation, Beauty movingly describes the friends, people and places - good and bad - that he encounters in the course of his dramatic life as he is passed from master to master. Anna Sewell wrote her book in the late 19th century as an attempt to improve the conditions of the working horse. It remains a unique document of a time when horses were the main means of transport and a heartfelt message against cruelty to animals.

Adelbert von Chamisso, bekannt durch seine Märchenerzählung "Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte", war nicht nur Dichter, sondern auch ein angesehener Naturforscher. Zwischen 1815 und 1818 segelte er auf dem russischen Expeditionsschiff "Rurik" um die Welt. In Brasilien und Chile, auf den pazifischen Inseln, in Alaska und Kalifornien machte er unglaubliche Entdeckungen, traf auf neue Kulturen und erlebte auf See so manches Abenteuer.

Blitzschnell fliegt Maja Richtung Heimat, um ihren Bienenstock vor den Hornissen zu warnen. Aber wie soll sie ihren Stock bloß wiederfinden? Seit sie aus ihrer Heimatstadt fort ist, hat sie sich das Umland nicht so einprägen müssen wie die anderen Bienen, die von ihren weiten Ausflügen mit dem gesammelten Honig zum Stock zurückfinden müssen. Schließlich überkommt Maja ein eigenartiges Gefühl, das sie in eine bestimmte Richtung drängt. Von dieser Intuition lässt sie sich leiten.

Am nächsten Tag ist Maja noch ganz ergriffen von der letzten Nacht, in der sie endlich die Menschen kennenlernen durfte. Sie fliegt durch einen Wald und kommt schließlich am Rande eines goldenen Kornfeldes an. Dort begegnet sie einem interessanten Käfer mit sieben Punkten.

Der Schneider Hannibal erzählt Maja, wie es dazu kam, dass er eines seiner acht Beine verloren hat. Als Maja ihm nicht glaubt, dass sich sein ausgerissenes Bein noch von selbst weiterbewegen konnte, wird Hannibal böse und droht Maja, sie zu fressen. Doch Maja weiß sich zu helfen.
