Beschreibung

In "Doctor Dolittle's Post Office," Hugh Lofting continues the enchanting adventures of the beloved veterinarian who can converse with animals. This illustrated edition showcases Lofting's signature whimsical style, enmeshing readers in a world where anthropomorphic characters share their stories through a charming narrative rife with humor and compassion. As Doctor Dolittle embarks on his mission to establish a postal service for animals, the text weaves themes of communication, community, and empathy, reflecting the author's progressive ideals during the early 20th century, a time marked by both imperialism and burgeoning environmental awareness. Hugh Lofting, an English author and illustrator, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a soldier during World War I and his subsequent travels. His love for nature and animals, which he cherished as a child, manifest vividly in Dolittle's character and adventures. The book serves not only as a delightful tale for children but also as a critique of human-centric society, embodying Lofting's advocacy for understanding and kindness towards all living beings. "Doctor Dolittle's Post Office" is an essential read for anyone who cherishes whimsical storytelling filled with moral undertones. It invites readers of all ages to explore the vibrant world of Doctor Dolittle, encouraging them to perceive the importance of compassion and connection across species, making it a timeless classic.

    Would you like to make a difference? These ten boys grew up to do just that – but first they had to change the church. How did God change them?  Augustine discovered the love of God and changed the way we think; Knox focused on God’s word and told his country the truth; Luther rediscovered God’s truth and gave it to ordinary people; Calvin realised that salvation was a gift from God and not a reward for what he did; Tyndale longed to print the Bible in a language that everyone would understand; Latimer urged people to read the Bible for themselves and made enemies as a result; Hus taught that God is in charge of the church and the world; Zwingli challenged people to obey God’s word in every area of their lives; Chalmers called the church to show Christ’s compassion to the poor and Shaftesbury pushed the church into making Christ’s love a living reality for everyone
