About the author

James Brian Jacques was an English author celebrated for the Redwall series of children’s fantasy novels and the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman books, along with several collections of short stories that blend adventure, folklore, and the supernatural. Raised in Liverpool, he left school at fifteen and pursued a wide range of occupations, including merchant seaman, truck driver, bus driver, and entertainer, experiences that later enriched the characters and settings of his fiction. His love of literature, encouraged from childhood, remained constant, and he continued writing poems, plays, and stories throughout adulthood. While working as a milkman, he began reading aloud to students at a school for the blind, inspiring him to craft vividly descriptive tales that relied on sound, smell, taste, and touch. These readings evolved into the manuscript for Redwall, which launched a bestselling series known for its heroic quests, detailed feasts, and intense battles between good and evil. The books achieved international popularity, selling millions of copies and being translated into many languages, as well as adapted for television and audio. Jacques also hosted a long-running radio program devoted to opera and maintained strong ties to his hometown. His stories, rooted in memory, imagination, and compassion for young readers, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Reviews

[Soroush Es]

عجب کتابی. یه حماسه زیبا برای کودکان.
کتاب برایان جِکس یه داستان زیبا، هیجان انگیز و با توصیفات جالبه که شما رو با خودش همراه می کنه. داستان به رسم داستان های کودکان با روشن کردن جبهه خیر و شر و سفید و سیاه همراه هستش.
داستان به قول دوست عزیزم نیلوفر داستان یه مشت موشه که در یه قلعه زندگی می کنند، داستان حول محور محاصره قلعه توسط موش بدجنسی به نام کلون و مبارزه اهالی اون قلعه برای برده نشدن نوشته شده. نقش مثبت اصلی داستان موشی به نام ماتیاس هستش که به دنبال شمشیر افسانه ای برای نجات قلعه راهی ماجراجویی می شه.
داستان هیجان کم نداره از مبارزه با پادشاه گنجشک ها و آسمودیوس افعی تا نبرد نهایی داستان. نقاط تعلیق داستان هم بسیار جالبن و بلای مخاطب نوجوان هیجان انگیز و دلهره آور می تونند باشن.
شخصیت های زیادی وارد داستان می شن که هر کدوم به نوع خودشون ویژگی های اخلاقی خاصی دارند.
در نهایت توصیفات فوق العاده نوشته در مورد غذا هاست که شما رو گشنه می کنه.
به نظرم اگه نوجوان هستید یا با دلی نوجوان علاقه به این سبک دارید کاملا ارزش خوندن رو داره.
پی نوشت: ترجمه اثر می تونست بهتر هم باشه. به خصوص دیالوگ های موش های کور.
