Podcasts about Inkheart

In this episode, Krish reviews Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, the first book in the bestselling fantasy trilogy that celebrates the magic of stories and the power of imagination. When 12 year old Meggie discovers that her father can bring characters out of books simply by reading aloud, she is drawn into a dangerous adventure where the line between fiction and reality begins to disappear.The story follows Meggie and her father Mo as they try to stop the ruthless Capricorn, a villain who escaped from the pages of Inkheart years earlier. Along the way they encounter the unforgettable Dustfinger, a mysterious fire eater who is desperate to return to the world he came from, and uncover secrets that could change everything Meggie thought she knew about stories, family and herself.Krish shares why Inkheart felt like a book written especially for people who love reading, what made Dustfinger his favourite character and the surprising moment in the story that became his favourite scene. He also explains why he cannot wait to continue with the rest of the trilogy.Krish is also joined by Steve Bicknell, Managing Director of Maverick Children's Books, for a fascinating behind the scenes look at children's publishing. Together they discuss how publishers choose stories, what happens after an author submits a manuscript, the importance of reading for pleasure and why books still matter in a world full of screens and distractions. They also explore the challenges facing young readers today and the role publishers can play in helping children discover a lifelong love of books.Follow Cornelia FunkeWebsite: https://corneliafunke.com/ Follow Maverick Children's BooksWebsite: https://www.maverickbooks.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maverick_books/Follow Armchair AdventuresWebsite: https://www.madebymortals.org/armchair-adventures/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/armchairadventuresuk/Follow The Fourth BookmarkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefourthbookmark/Follow KrishInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/krishthepodcaster/Support The Fourth Bookmark on Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheFourthBookmark

Thanks to listener requests, Brenna and Joe dig into the fantasy world of Cornelia Funke's Inkheart and its 2008 film adaptation starring Brendan Fraser.It's...not what we expected. In addition to less driving, Joe wanted more fantasy, while Brenna wanted more famous characters.Possible reasons this didn't connect for us: translation issues and the revelation that it may have been meant to be read aloud at bedtime!Plus: Helen Mirren doing Judy Dench, obvious sequel set-up, our interest in Fenoglio (but not Elinor) and the surprising longevity of the film's FX!Wanna connect with the show?

In a world where there exists magical people who have the ability to bring to life the objects or people they read from a book, this movie would rather us watch a very sleepy Brendan Fraser (we hate to say it, but its true) and his likewise magical daughter go on an adventure to find their mother who got sucked into a book years ago. Sorta like a book version of Jumanji? Kinda?

We're closing out our spring semester of children's classics with one final book about a book—and another richly imagined story in translation, The Wild Book by Juan Villoro. This modern story reached great acclaim in Mexico, with an English translation finally reaching America in 2017.  We found this work a  compelling companion to our first children's work in translation, Inkheart, and we share our thoughts on the book's proposed relationship between books and reading, how this modern work stacks up besides tried-and-true classics, and the supernatural elements that feel grounded in the magical realism traditions of incredible Lantix authors. We love reading and discussing books with our listeners, and we hope you'll join our group of nerdy readers for a summer of EPIC reading over on our Patreon at patreon.com/novelpairings. Annual subscriptions are now available at a discounted price. Pairings Timestamp: 25:50  . . .

As voracious readers we love to dive into stories about books and reading, whether it's paying homage to the source of procuring books (think publishing, bookshops, and libraries) or the physical books themselves. In today's episode, we're taking you on a dark, mysterious, and twisty adventure in translation with Cornelia Funke's Inkheart. A plot-packed novel for the not-so-faint-of-heart, we discuss what Funke's international bestseller has to say about the power stories hold for children, the necessity to engage a child's imagination, and how the tone of this children's classic spooked us (just a little bit). If you're looking for more imaginative fantasies, we've paired this sweeping novel with a rich, outlandish romantic historical fantasy and a slim work of non-fiction about the nature of books from one of the most renowned writers and translators of our time.  A quick note: we had some technical difficulties, so the audio on this episode may sound slightly different than usual. It'll be back to normal in our next episode!   [Pairing Timestamp: 41:33]   Books Mentioned: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon The Clothing of Books by Jhumpa Lahiri The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield   Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alex E. Harrow   Other Books Mentioned The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are ready to leap into the jungle with 1984's hit "Romancing the Stone," a movie that spawned its own rom-com subgenre, and then the little remembered 2009 film "Inkheart," starring Brendan Frasier and Paul Bettany, about a family with the power to open portals in and out of literature. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 354 includes: -R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins, Donna Noble's grandfather on "Doctor Who." -Does the ongoing chaos in project cancelation at Warner Bros Discovery make it more or less likely Ezra Miller's "Flash" get yanked? -"Prey" is a high-quality Predator prequel that packs a punch. -Switch the Pitch -- "Romancing the Stone" / "Inkheart" -The guys discuss the 1984 rom-com adventure by director Robert Zemeckis that isn't quite as it's remembered and then 2009's fantasy adventure "Inkheart" which fails from a lack of imagination for its imagination. The guys then combine both movies into a new project they pitch on the spot.

Out of books and into our world. It’s Inkheart, and This Film is Lit. Let Me Sum Up Guess Who? Was That in the Book? Lost in Adaptation Better in the Book Better in the Movie The Movie Nailed It Odds and Ends Final Verdict Our next movie is The Jungle Book!

We left the last episode on a relative high with some interest and some empathy. Alas, we spoke too soon, which we can confirm as we dive into the final Inkheart book, Inkdeath. The theme of this reading was once again chaos, but not in an alluring, attractive, or compelling way. What on earth is happening? We have all of our characters in the Inkworld, and still none of them have enough common sense to get them out of their problems. They seem to have forgotten that they are in a book. Mo's character transformation is continuing and affecting everyone else. Asia has a lot of thoughts on that in particular. Next week we will be reading chapters 42-81 of book 3 in the series, Inkdeath. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/throwback-paperback/support

This week on CRITICALLY RECLAIMED, Bibbs and Witney get stuck with a baffling double feature of the failed YA franchise starter INKHEART, starring Brendan Fraser as a dad who can bring books to life, and James Grey's acclaimed colonial exploration biopic THE LOST CITY OF Z!

No children. No future. No hope. It’s Children of Men, and This Film is Lit. Let Me Sum Up Guess Who? Was That in the Book? Lost in Adaptation Better in the Book Better in the Movie The Movie Nailed It Odds and Ends Final Verdict Our next movie is Inkheart!

We're entering the Inkworld this week as most of our characters are transported inside the book. Dustfinger first, then Meggie and Farid, and finally Mo, Resa, Mortola, and Basta all make it into Inkheart where chaos ensues. Unsurprisingly we respond well to burgeoning romance and tender familial relationships and respond poorly to Fenoglio's increasingly gross behavior. The Inkworld is changing and taking on a life of its own. Too bad neither of your co-hosts cares that much. We still think that the story is missing a hook, but maybe we're just too judgmental. Next week we will be reading chapters 40-77 of book 2 in the series, Inkspell. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/throwback-paperback/support

All parties converge on Capricorn's village as he prepares his plan for the Shadow to execute Dustfinger once and for all. Meanwhile Fenoglio and Meggie have a plan of their own to circumvent this outcome. We discuss Meggie's mom, and meet her, in what we think is probably the most interesting part of the book. Listen to see how we feel about the ending, and the idea of a sequel. What is going to happen in the next book? What worlds might we explore? ​Next week we will be reading chapters 1-39 of book 2 in the series, Inkspell. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/throwback-paperback/support

It's finally time for a new series back at Throwback Paperback, and we're diving into the cult-classic Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke. We return to fantasy, and let's just say both hosts have plenty of feedback. While neither of us have read the books before, they come highly recommended, so we enter with high expectations. Does the book live up to them? It is worth noting that for a change Asia does a lot of the predicting this week instead of Charles. How do you think her predictions worked out? ​Next week we will be reading chapters 31-59 of book 1 in the series, Inkheart. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/throwback-paperback/support
