I denne jule-episoden forteller Ingeborg Sivertsen Landfald om Ferdinand, den milde oksen som heller vil lukte på blomster enn å slåss mot Madrids matadorer. Du kjenner kanskje oksen best fra Disneys kortfilm fra 1938, som NRK sender i sin julekavalkade på julaften. Det er en versjon av barneboka "Historien om Ferdinand", skrevet av Munro Leaf og illustrert av Robert Lawson i 1936.Men lenge før Ferdinand ble en juletradisjon her hjemme, havnet oksen midt i sin tids kulturkamp - da boka ble lest politisk og tatt til inntekt for alle slags ismer. Reisen tar oss også helt til Taiwan, der litteraturprofessor Andrea Mei-Ying Wu viser at Munro Leaf og bøkene hans var med på å forme barnelitteraturen i landet - og samtidig visket illustratør Robert Lawson ut av historien. Ferdinand fyller snart 90 år, og så langt har barneboka blitt brent av Hitler, forbudt av Franco, parodiert av Hemingway og omfavnet av Gandhi.   Andrea Mei-Ying Wu er professor i litteratur ved Cheng Kung Universitet i Taiwan. Hennes forelesning om Munro Leaf ble holdt under IRSCL-konferansen i Stockholm i 2019, der hun var en av hovedtalerne.Nevnt i episoden:"Historien om Ferdinand" (1936), skrevet av Munro Leaf og illustrert av Robert Lawson.Du kan lese mer om Wus forskning her.Bruce Handys tekst i The New Yorker kan du lese her.Philip Nels blogg-innlegg kan du lese her. Denne episoden er basert på en tekst publisert i Klassekampen i 2020, skrevet av Ingeborg Sivertsen Landfald. ---Takk for at du hører på Barnebokprat, en podkast fra Norsk barnebokinstitutt.

A bedtime story for Preschoolers, by Munro Leaf, as read by Dan Stevens.

In this episode of Journey to the Blue Sky, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2017 Blue Sky Studios animated film Ferdinand based on the 1936 children's book Ferdinand the Bull by Munro Leaf. Ferdinand is not like the other bulls. He's a sweet, kind, and gentle bull who loves flowers. But he is forced to become a bull to be sent away as a bull to compete in bullfights. As a young bull, he runs away and lives with a flower farmer and his daughter for several years. One day, he is captured and sent back to the ranch he grew up in and learns that the bulls must become ready to be sent to the bullfights, otherwise they'll be taking to the slaughterhouse. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $296 million dollars out of its $111 million dollar budget with mixed reviews with praising John Cena's portrayal as Ferdinand, but that the story and characters were forgettable. This would be the second Blue Sky Studios film that would be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, but lost to Coco. How does the film hold up? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support

An interesting side note about Robert Lawson and Munro Leaf, they were friends when Leaf originally hand wrote the story of Ferdinand on a legal pad. Munro Leaf learned about the true story of a peaceful bull named Civilón that was raised on a farm outside Salamanca, Spain in the early 1930s. The story was told that It was pardoned mid-fight and the news of this event made papers, which was then published throughout many parts of Europe. Munro Leaf used this true story as a creative prompt for Robert Lawson. Read more here! MOOSE AND THE BEARY GREAT MYSTERY Would you like to draw a picture of what you think Moose or Rex looks like?

With excitement allow me to introduce to you today's guest, Chef Andy Little. Chef Little came to Nashville in 2013 by way of central Pennsylvania where he grew up on traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.

Little graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and began his rising career in the industry first working under Patrick O'Connell at The Inn at Little Washington before a stint at Pennsylvania's Evermay-on-the-Delaware, which eventually led him back to his hometown to spearhead the fine dining restaurant at The Sheppard Mansion. Now a 2017 and 2018 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef Southeast, Little helms the kitchen at popular restaurant Josephine, where Pennsylvania Dutch roots meet Southern hospitality for a distinct and thoughtful experience beloved by guests.

A reading of “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf

This is the story of little Ferdinand, a young bull is different from all the other young bulls. Will he try to fit in, or stay true to who he is?

Publicado originalmente em 1938, O touro Ferdinando marcou gerações no mundo todo, tendo sido traduzido para mais de 60 idiomas. Com uma narrativa singela, uma união perfeita entre as ilustrações e o texto de humor delicado, o livro conta a história de um touro que, apesar de seu tamanho e sua força, não tem interesse em lutar nas touradas. Tudo que ele quer é cheirar as flores e ficar quietinho no seu canto, mas às vezes o mundo à nossa volta não compreende aqueles que são diferentes da maioria. Escrito por Munro Leaf, ilustrado por Robert Lawson, traduzido por Flora Pinheiro e publicado no Brasil pela editora Intrínseca. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/denise32/message

En 1936, la revista gráfica Estampa relató el extraño caso del toro Civilón, una res brava domesticada por una niña salmantina que se dejaba acariciar por humanos. Civilón, negro, lucero y meano, era el último superviviente de los cinco vástagos de la vaca Civilona y el toro más macarra dela ganadería de Juan Cobaleda. Su afición a las peleas simultáneas, al estilo de gran maestro del ajedrez, con varios de sus congéneres le hizo llegar a toro. Enfrentado a tres de sus vecinos, fue objeto de una limpia herida de asta en el cuello que justificó, con un parte de baja reglamentario por unas lesiones que tardó tres meses en sanar, su inasistencia a la novillada en Valencia que figuraba como punto final de la biografía de su sino. Ver la muerte de tan cerca y tres meses de sopitas y buen vino hicieron recapacitar al macarra Civilón sobre los placeres de la amistad, la cooperación y la buena compañía. Pero por noble y bravo que fuera, no era labor sencilla reconquistar la confianza perdida de aquellos semejantes con los que había llegado a los cuernos. Quizás por pereza o tal vez por longanimidad, pero, en cualquier caso, dando un susto morrocotudo a gañanes y mayoral, rompió con los prejuicios de especie y se acercó manso y afable, a la risueña y despreocupada niña Carmelilla Cobaleda, que aún no había cumplido los ocho años y era la menor de las hijas del ganadero Juan Cobaleda. Ni los recelos más ancestrales ni los miedos más arraigados pueden frenar el encuentro entre dos inocentes ajenos a la cultura. El ansia de la bestia por ser acariciada por vez primera no puede competir con el deseo de la bella por acariciarla. No hay lugar para la competencia cuando solo vale el empate. El miedo de los gañanes intentó impugnar el encuentro, evitarlo a toda costa, pero la cultura pesa y el amor es más ligero. Carmelilla peinó con la mano la suave testuz de Civilón y el toro descubrió que las caricias dan más gustirrinín que las cornadas. – ¡Vaya tontería! –pensarán ustedes. Después de visto, todo el mundo es listo, pero hay que saberlo y el único superviviente de los hijos de la vaca Civilona, no lo sabía hasta entonces. Como tampoco sabía que los arrumacos de otros niños podían ser tan gozosos como los de Carmelilla. Cuando lo descubrió se dió cuenta de que estaba perdido y buscó en la dehesa manos amigas con la misma urgencia que un adicto reciente busca al repartidor de caramelos en la puerta del colegio. Un toro amigo de los niños, una bestia ignorante que come hierba mansamente de la mano de cualquiera. Esa es la noticia que todos quieren leer, pensó Javier Sánchez Ocaña, el priodista más azucarado del hebdomadario gráfico Estampa, y con él de la España de la II república, que no ignoraba el éxito de La historia de Ferdinand, el best seller del norteamericano Munro Leaf. A raíz de la publicación del reportaje se desató una gran campaña para evitar la muerte del toro amable. Civilón, el toro más famoso de españa, fue indultado por presión popular en la Monumental de Barcelona el 28 de junio de 1936. Con la realización técnica de Elena Ojeda y la participación de Gerardo Bullón, Xisco Rojo, Carlos Lapeña y Elena Ojeda. Un programa escrito y dirigido por Carlos Lapeña.

Hey Kids!  Today's storytime has a very special guest, Moe Train's 3 year old son, Gage (aka Gagey).  One of Gage's all time favorite stories is Ferdinand, so we had to share it with all of you out in Listening Land!  This famous story of a kind and gentle bull has been told for years, and today, we bring it to Children's Stories: Read By Moe Train. 

John Cena voices the titular bull who would rather sniff flowers than fight against matadors. Blue Sky Studios offers another colorful animated adventure for younger viewers. Based on the children's book by Munro Leaf.

Tony Esolen is both a sage and a survivor of the culture war. He knows there’s a war over which camp gets to determine the default setting narrative, and he knows the cost of warfare. He also knows it’s not a military war (at least not yet) but a war of ideas and moral stances. Esolen suffered a bumpy and very public exit from Providence College last year, where he taught English and classics since 1990 -- their youngest full tenured professor ever. But the diversity demon took hold and Esolen fought back manfully. In the end, he stepped away from the salary, the tenure, the sabbatical, and the sundry perks and joined the faculty of Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in Merrimack, NH. Like Ferdinand the Bull at the end of the Munro Leaf story, Esolen is happy. Our interview covered the story behind his departure from Providence not in a literary gossip way but in a What Went Wrong With Catholic Colleges way. We talk about the new Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture  and the importance of getting in the game of reclaiming our cultural heritage.   In this episode you will learn: Why the need to rebuild culture NOW is so urgent A sample of the books we ought to read to guide us The importance of beautiful and reverent liturgy The reasons why parents need to take back, as best they can, the education of their children from the education establishment bureaucrats The difference literacy makes in the lives of children and family life    Resources mentioned in this episode: The Death of Christian Culture by John Senior The Restoration of Christian Culture by John Senior Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture by Anthony Esolen Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana The Counter-Revolution by Thomas Molnar   Join the Conversation: Question of the week: What small thing can I do as a family to restore the Christian culture?   Comment below.   Don’t forget to Subscribe to the show in YouTube, as well as the podcast so you can get the weekly show updates.

微信公众号【米粒读绘本】 学儿童心理学、曾任电台DJ的妈妈每天为你读一本经典绘本 【内容简介】 从前，在西班牙，有一头公牛名叫费迪南。其它的公牛都喜欢跑跑跳跳、互相抵角，只有费迪南不喜欢。他常常坐在牧场外那棵最爱的树下，静静地闻着花香。 一天，五个陌生的男人来到牧场，挑选参加斗牛大赛的公牛，费迪南意外地被他们看中，带去了马德里。 斗牛大赛开始了！观众们翘首以盼“凶猛之牛”费迪南的登场。可是他上场以后，却出人意料地坐下了，因为他看见了某种他熟悉而喜爱的东西…… 【作者介绍】 曼罗·里夫（Munro Leaf；1905～1976），生前写过、画过近四十本书，其中最具盛名的，即是与罗伯特·劳森合作的《爱花的牛》。 由曼罗·里夫所执笔的这本书，在美国是第一本被贴上“颠覆”卷标的作品。在西班牙内战期间（二十世纪三十年代），这本书曾经被禁；另外，它也曾遭德国纳粹列为焚书书单之一。 尽管命运多舛，《爱花的牛》还是静静地流经世代。它不仅被后来的大人肯定为是绘本中阐扬“反战、和平主义”的先驱，同时，也深受世界各地儿童的喜爱。 【出版信息致敬】 作者: 曼罗·里夫 文 / 罗伯特·劳森 图 译者: 孙敏 出版社: 二十一世纪出版社
