- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wunderschön. Nach so langer Zeit war es wirklich toll, das Buch wieder einmal zu lesen.Mein Siebenjähriger, dem ich es vorgelesen habe, war vielleicht noch ein wenig zu jung – gerade das Vorwort und der Beginn der eigentlichen Geschichte langweilten ihn sehr. Das Durchhalten hat sich aber gelohnt, er hat dann doch begeistert zugehört, auch wenn ich ihm viele Begriffe aus der Zeit Erich Kästners erklären musste und so ein Gymnasiasteninternat natürlich nicht die Welt eines Erstklässlers ist.Was für eine gesunde Welt wird da beschrieben, wo es normal ist, dass Jungs sich prügeln, und wo es als durchaus gut und richtig angesehen wird, dass ein Kind sich das Bein bricht, wenn ihm das hilft, zu seinem Mut zu finden. Nicht, dass körperliche Gewalt je meine Welt war, überhaupt nicht. Aber die sicherheitsfanatischen Eltern von heute nehmen ihren Kindern so viel, weil das Abenteuer allein im Wald im Grundschulalter vor lauter allumfassender Angst nicht mehr vorstellbar ist.Dieses Buch bietet dazu einen Gegenentwurf: Eine Welt in der rührend mutige und ehrenhafte Jungs ihr Leben selbst in der Hand haben, auch und gerade, weil sie Regeln missachten und Verbote übertreten.Ein schönes Vorbild, heute wichtiger denn je.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5With its whimsical content, conversational tone, and jovial characters, The Flying Classroom is a unique bit of prose with a timeless feel. While the narrative seems a bit disjointed to start, the reader soon becomes accustomed to the style, and it proves a wholly satisfying means of bringing pieces of the story together. An enjoyable and clever read.
