The Adventure Collection

This set includes five tales of extraordinary heroism, marvelous intrigue, and exceptional courage that have inspired and amazed people for generations. Gulliver’s Travels is Jonathan Swift’s comic tale of an Englishman who journeys to four fantastical and exotic lands filled with unforgettable characters, from the pint-size Lilliputians to the giant Brobdingnagians. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood takes us to Sherwood Forest, where the brigand and his band of “merry men” rob from the rich to give to the poor — to the consternation of the Sheriff of Nottingham. The Jungle Book transports readers into a wondrous world where danger lurks behind every drooping vine and the law of the jungle is the key to survival. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins as he learns the ways of the buccaneer from a group of seafaring miscreants, including the nefarious peg leg, Long John Silver. White Fang by Jack London recreates the forbidding world of the Yukon Gold Rush, where a wild dog must endure violence, hardship, and bitter cold on his journey from savagery to civilization.

That Shakespeare Kid

Middle school students Emma and Peter are assigned Act I of Romeo and Juliet to read for homework. Peter wants to get a better copy than his tattered paperback. So he climbs up onto a chair in his mother’s study to retrieve her heavy Riverside Shakespeare. Just as he tugs on it, the chair moves and the book hits him on the head. When Peter regains consciousness, he can speak only in lines from Shakespeare. So instead of saying a simple 'hello,' he might say something like, 'How dost thou?' or instead of a simple 'goodbye' he might say, 'Parting is such sweet sorrow.' Emma Malcolm narrates this appealing young adult fantasy. She describes herself and her neighbor Peter Marlowe as “happy nerds.” Yet when Peter suddenly becomes unable to speak modern English, everything changes. As hard as Peter tries to speak for himself, his words come out as Shakespeare’s own. His strange speech irritates Emma at the school bus stop and embarrasses her in the baseball stadium. Emma thinks so, too, but she soon realizes that he cannot help himself. However, when he discovers that he can text and instant message in modern English, Emma becomes his translator. English is Peter’s favorite class, and Ms. Hastings is his favorite teacher. Ms. Hastings decides to guide the class even further into Shakespeare’s world. She determines to help them put on the 30-Minute version of Romeo and Juliet. Peter and Emma will be the leads, the play’s star-crossed lovers—after all, Romeo and Juliet were about their age. Emma has never kissed a boy, and she realizes that she is about to experience her first kiss in front of the whole school. This engaging comedy introduces Shakespeare’s language gracefully, making it part of a light and charming fantasy about language and first love.

Tarzan, Folge 9: Korak - Tarzans Sohn: Die vergessene Stadt

Lord und Lady Greystoke sind angesehene Mitglieder der Londoner Gesellschaft, und ihrem kleinen Sohn Jack, dem künftigen Lord of Greystoke, wird eine standesgemäße Erziehung zuteil. Zum Leidwesen des Kindermädchens aber gebärdet sich Jack oft recht wild. Er spielt Gorilla und erschreckt die Ärmste damit. Begeistert verschlingt er Berichte über Afrika, den Urwald und wilde Tiere. Lady Jane bemerkt das mit Sorge. Jack weiß nicht, dass seine Eltern noch unter anderen Namen bekannt sind, nämlich als Tarzan und Jane. Beide hatten sich entschlossen, nie über ihre Vergangenheit zu sprechen. Doch es scheint, als habe Jack das unruhige Blut seines Vaters geerbt und damit die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit, Steppe und Urwald. Während eines Dressuraktes bricht im Zirkus ein Gorilla aus. Zu Jacks Überraschung springt sein Vater in die Manege und redet mit dem Gorilla in der Affensprache. Der Gorilla ist 'Akut', Tarzans Begleiter aus vergangenen Zeiten. So erfährt Jack endlich, dass Tarzan sein Vater ist. Wenig später brennt Jack mit Akut durch. Ihr Ziel ist Afrika. - Jahre sind indessen vergangen. Lord und Lady Greystoke glauben, dass ihr Sohn längst tot sei. Im Dschungel aber haben die Affen einen würdigen Nachfolger für ihren König Tarzan gefunden: Korak, Tarzans Sohn, und sein Begleiter ist jetzt Pakut, ein Enkel Akuts. Eines Tages schließt ein Flugzeug in unbegreiflichen Kreisen über die aufgescheuchte Gnuherde, berührt den Boden und rast auf einen Abgrund zu, der sich wie ein gähnender Schlund durch die Savanne zieht. Polternd und schleifend wird sie langsamer, scheint dann stehen zu bleiben und hebt sich mit ungeheurem Schwung in den Abgrund. 'Das hat niemand überlebt', keucht Korak, als er zur Absturzstelle rennt. Er beugt sich über den Abgrund und sieht, dass die Maschine auf halber Höhe hängen geblieben ist. Unten rauscht ein Fluss. Sonst regt sich nichts.
