About the book
'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.'
So says Rat to Mole, as he introduces him to the delights of the river and his friends Toad, the spirit of rebellion, and Badger, the spirit of England. But it is a world where the motor-car is about to wreck the gipsy caravan, the revolutionaries in the Wild Wood are threatening the social fabric, the god Pan is abroad, and the warm seductive whispers of the south are drifting into the English lanes.
An international children's classic, The Wind in the Willows grew from the author's letters to his young son, yet it is concerned almost exclusively with adult themes: fear of radical changes in political, social, and economic power. Mole's acceptance into the conservative world of the River Bank, and Toad's wild attempts to escape from it, are narrated in virtuoso language ranging from lively parody to elaborate fin-de-siècle mysticism. A profoundly English fiction with a world following, it is a book for adults adopted by children, a timeless masterpiece, and a vital portrait of an age.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

4.0Der Wind in den Weiden
Das Buch ist erstmals 1908 erschienen, was man an der Sprache merkt.. Trotzdem eine zeitlose Geschichte über vier tierische Freunde, ihre Abenteuer und Freundschaft. Die Illustrationen von Robert Ingpen sind wunderschön 💜

5.0Ich bin mit der Geschichte groß geworden. Ich fand als Kind auch die Trickfilmreihe aus den 80igern toll. Das Buch steht immer noch in meinem Regal und ich habe es auch meinen Kindern vorgelesen. Als zeitlos würde ich die Abenteuer von der Ratte, dem Maulwurf, der Kröte und natürlich dem Dachs nicht bezeichnen, aber sie haben ihren ganz eigenen Charme, an dem Harry Rowohlts wunderbare Übersetzung ihren Anteil hat. Jetzt das Hörbuch zu hören, hat mich an viele schöne Stunden erinnert. Harry Rowohlt liest es auf ganz besonders liebevolle und schöne Weise. Leider endet es etwas plötzlich und ist gekürzt, aber das macht mir ausnahmsweise gar nichts aus.
