Explanation To Books The Brothers Lionheart

The Brothers Lionheart (Swedish: Bröderna Lejonhjärta) is a children's fantasy novel written by Astrid Lindgren. It was published in the autumn of 1973 and has been translated into 46 languages. Many of its themes are unusually dark and heavy for the children's book genre. Disease, death, tyranny, betrayal and rebellion are some of the dark themes that permeate the story. The lighter themes of the book involve platonic love, loyalty, hope, courage and pacifism. The two main characters are two brothers; the older Jonatan and the younger Karl. The two brothers' surname was originally Lion, but they are generally known as Lionheart. Karl's nickname is Skorpan (Rusky) since Jonatan likes these typical Swedish toasts or crusts. In Nangijala, a land in "the campfires and storytelling days", the brothers experience adventures. Together with a resistance group they lead the struggle against the evil Tengil, who rules with the aid of the fearsome fire-breathing dragon, Katla.

Comment On About Books The Brothers Lionheart

Well and truly, the first time I read Astrid Lindgrens 1973 fantasy novel The Brothers Lionheart in 1977 (titled Bröderna Lejonhärta in the Swedish original, although yes, I was reading the novel in German translation) I not only found The Brothers Lionheart (Die Brüder Löwenherz) a diverting and entertaining reading experience, I in fact and indeed just loved loved loved absolutely everything about the authors, about Astrid Lindgrens narrative (and in particular I was also completely in awe at

It surprised me what an original theme, this book had, even though I didn't know about what theme this book had from the start. I really enjoyed this story even though it is a children's story. Good characters and a good adventure story next to that great drawing.This book is in the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up challenge I am doing.

In high school I loaned this to a girlfriend and then she dumped me and then I called her house like every day all "GIVE ME MY BOOK BACK" until she finally left it outside my door so she wouldn't have to talk to me.I was a pretty big fan of this book.

If you don't like this book, you just don't understand anything. If you still haven't read it, please do!Simply one of the best children's books ever written. It deals with some very serious issues in a truly admirable way and gives hope at the same time. Pure, honest, brave and magical.

A tale about brotherly love and finding courage even in the most difficult of circumstances, The Brothers Lionheart narrates the adventures of two brothers, Jonathan and Karl Lionheart, as they dwell in an idyllic happy place called Nangiyala and confront the evil that starts to threaten the peace of the land.Not long after Karl joins his older brother Jonathan in a secured border in Nangiyala called Cherry Farm, he learns that a cruel tyrant named Tengil has taken control of its adjacent

Beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting and timeless. Astrid Lindgren Forever! :)*****Why did you save Park's life, was that so good?''I don't know if it was such a good thing to do,' said Jonathan. 'But there are things you have to do, otherwise you're not a human being, just a piece of dirt. I've said this to you before.''But what if he'd realized who you were?' I said. 'And they had caught you!''Well, then they would've caught Lionheart and not a piece of dirt,' said Jonathan. Astrid Lindgren,

Oh man, I am an absolute sucker for sibling relationships (have I mentioned this before? Maybe I have), if not, know now that I am. So you might guess why this is (along with 'Mio, My Mio') my favourite Astrid Lindgren book. The relationship between Tvebak and Jonathan (the Danish names) is so unbelievably precious, and leaves me in tears, even now, despite it being a childrens book. Having a brother myself, I understand the devotion you can have for a sibling; I'd do anything for him. I'd face
