Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Erich Kästner was born in Dresden in 1899, the son of a saddle maker and a maidservant. He was drafted into the army in 1917, and his experiences there were to influence his later pacifism. He published Emil and the Detectives in 1928 to great success. A sequel, Emil and the Three Twins, appeared in 1933, but soon afterwards his books were labelled "contrary to the German spirit" and burned in public by the Nazis. He was interviewed by the Gestapo several times, but remained in Berlin until 1945, when he fled the city to avoid the Soviet assault. After the war he continued to write and remained committed to anti-war movements until his death in 1974.

CLASSICS TO TREASURE
"The main pleasure of the book is in the way in which it plays to the fantasy of omnipotence in a child: that a team of kids could really organize themselves into a team of detectives and catch a thief." - Michael Rosen

Aus dem Klappentext

If Mrs Ticshbein had known the adventures her son Emil would have in Berlin, she'd never have let him go. But after meeting a mysterious man on the train, Emil falls fast asleep and awakens to discover that both the man, and the seven pounds his mother gave him, have gone missing.

Emil is determined to get it back - and when he teams up with the detectives he meets in Berlin, it's just the start of a marvellous money-retrieving adventure...
A classic and influential story, Emil and the Detectives remains an enthralling read.
