    Waterschapsheuvel

    De epische reis van een groep konijnen naar een nieuwe woonplaats

    Waterschapsheuvel is het geliefde en wereldberoemde verhaal van een groep konijnen die onder leiding van opperkonijn Hazelaar op zoek gaat naar een nieuwe woonplaats. Onderweg moeten ze talloze gevaren trotseren, maar uiteindelijk vinden ze een prachtige heuvel, waar ze een nieuw bestaan opbouwen. Daar wacht hun echter de grootste strijd ooit… Het verhaal is een knappe parabel over leiderschap en democratie, over moed en vriendschap. Het is een loflied op de Engelse natuur, die veel overeenkomsten vertoont met het Nederlandse landschap. Al decennialang zijn miljoenen lezers geboeid door de avontuurlijke zwerftocht van de konijnen, die hun eigen taal, geschiedenis en gewoontes hebben. Voor het eerst in lange tijd kunnen nieuwe lezers en oude lezers opnieuw kennismaken met deze magische fantasiewereld, die vaak onthutsend veel lijkt op die van de mens. De pers over Waterschapsheuvel 'Die kleurrijke verbeeldingen van het wonderlijke verhaal over de wording van een democratie verfraaien deze toch al prachtig uitgevoerde editie van een naar het zich laat aanzien onsterfelijk verhaal.' **** Dagblad de Limburger 'Een bijzonder en meeslepend verhaal. Een feest voor het oog en de geest.' NBD Biblion ‘In de traditie van De wind in de wilgen en In de ban van de ring, en toch weer anders. Adams is in de eerste plaats een voortreffelijk verteller.’ The Economist ‘Een geweldig boek. Er wordt een zeer geloofwaardige nieuwe wereld gecreëerd, waarin zeer zeker een goed onderbouwde aanklacht tegen de mensheid doorklinkt.’ The Guardian ‘Een klassieker. Prachtig.’ Los Angeles Times ‘De fabelachtige kracht van dit boek schuilt in de door vrijwel alle critici geprezen authenticiteit waarmee gedrag en gewoonten van het konijn, de omgeving waarin het leeft en de relaties tot andere dingen worden beschreven.’ Martin Ros in NRC Handelsblad

    The Plague Dogs (Film)

    Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Plague Dogs is a 1982 animated film based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Richard Adams. The film was written-for-screen, directed and produced by Martin Rosen, who also directed Watership Down, the film version of another novel by Adams, produced by Nepenthe Productions and released by United Artists, in 1982. The film was rated PG-13 by the MPAA for violent images and thematic elements. The film's story is centered on two dogs named Rowf and Snitter, who escape from a research laboratory in Great Britain. In the process of telling the story, the film highlights the cruelty of performing vivisection and animal research for its own sake (though Martin Rosen said that this was not an anti-vivisection film, but an adventure), an idea that was only recently coming to public attention during the 1960s and 1970s.
