愛花的牛

內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一個永恆的經典故事，《The Story of Ferdinand》自1936年發行以來，已經吸引成千上萬的讀者。 故事是描述在西班牙公牛的世界裡，每隻公牛都期待著能到馬德里鬥牛場表演，這是他們一生中最大的願望，但是公牛Ferdinand從小就跟大家不同，他喜歡坐在橡樹下靜靜地聞著花香。 長大後，來自馬德里的選牛者竟看中了Ferdinand，當我們的和平英雄站上馬德里鬥牛場的舞台，究竟會發生什麼事呢？ A true classic with a timeless message! All the other bulls run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights. Ferdinand, on the other hand, would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bullfights in Madrid? The Story of Ferdinand has inspired, enchanted, and provoked readers ever since it was first published in 1936 for its message of nonviolence and pacifism. In WWII times, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned in Nazi Germany, while Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, granted it privileged status as the only non-communist children's book allowed in Poland. The preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and civil rights, Mahatma Gandhi—whose nonviolent and pacifistic practices went on to inspire Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.—even called it his favorite book. The story was adapted by Walt Disney into a short animated film entitled Ferdinand the Bull in 1938. Ferdinand the Bull won the 1938 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).
