Description
Warning! Reading this book may cause a strong aesthetic experience! Stevenson's verse ballad, with its somewhat quirky moral message, is published in Czech for the first time with original illustrative accompaniment! Two crafty brothers, pirate Robin and pharmacist Ben, meet after years and compare their different life paths. While Robin raided ships at sea, won the hearts of women, and became a feared yet respected pirate, Ben quietly and inconspicuously, yet cruelly, robbed his master and customers in the pharmacy. After Robin glimpses his friend's cowardly life without honor, an astonishing and unexpected finale occurs! When Henning Wagenbreth, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary German visual arts, discovered and illustrated Robert Louis Stevenson's ballad, a literary gem was created. Therefore, the book rightfully found itself among the finalists for the prestigious German award Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis. In the Czech translation by Petr Putna, a similar gem has emerged that will surely win the hearts of many children and adults.
