Produktbeschreibung

This book will confirm, once and for all, what many will have long suspected: that Pooh is a Bear of Enormous Brain.

Featuring iconic, original quotes from A.A.Milne and decorations by E.H.Shepard from their much-loved story collections: Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.

Author, John T Williams, sets out to prove that the whole of western philosophy, from the cosmologists of Ancient Greece to the existentialists of the twentieth century may be found in the pages of Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.

Autorenporträt

John T Williams has written both Pooh and the Philosophers and Pooh and the Psychologists, in which he cleverly incorporates and evaluates original A.A. Milne quotes and characters with E.H.Shepard's definitive art, to bring philosophy and psychology to the masses.

A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first book of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne's stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.

E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was an artist, illustrator and cartoonist and went on to draw the original decorations to accompany Milne's classic stories, earning him the name 'the man who drew Pooh'.
