Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Trier, Walter (illustrator). Neuware - First published in 1929, Emil and the Detectives remains one of the most influential and entertaining novels ever written for young readers.This high-quality edition features the original illustrations by Walter Trier, whose expressive drawings are integral to the book's identity, along with an introduction by Maurice Sendak that underscores the novel's lasting importance in children's literature. A timeless story of justice, courage, and collective action, Emil and the Detectives remains as engaging today as it was when it first captivated readers nearly a century ago.When twelve¿year¿old Emil travels alone from his small town to Berlin to visit family, his carefully saved money is stolen on the train by a suspicious stranger in a bowler hat. Determined to set things right, Emil takes matters into his own hands rather than turning to adults or authorities.Once in Berlin, Emil teams up with a sharp, resourceful group of local children who organize themselves into an impromptu detective squad. Together, they turn the bustling streets of the city into the setting for a fast¿moving, cleverly orchestrated manhunt-using teamwork, observation, and ingenuity to track the thief step by step. Kästner's story treats children as capable and intelligent, allowing their actions, rather than lectures, to drive the moral center of the book.Groundbreaking in its time for its realistic urban setting and modern sensibility, Emil and the Detectives broke away from fantasy conventions to portray contemporary life as children actually experience it. The novel's humor, suspense, and deep respect for youthful independence continue to resonate with readers across generations. Artikel-Nr. 9781468308297
