“Was lernt man daraus: Trau niemandem, lass Kinder nicht alleine reisen.” Doch das Gegenteil wird im Buch bewiesen. Inwiefern wird ein Gegensatz zwischen Kindern und Erwachsenen in Punkto Vertrauen und Moral aufgemacht? Welche Moral, welche Idealvorstellung wird im Buch an Kinder vermittelt? Welchen (ideellen) Stellenwert nimmt Geld ein?

A cute children's book from the 1920's. Excellent for those learning basic/intermediate German.

Charming, charming book. It does well everything a children's book should do. It does not look down upon the young reader's intelligence nor try to waste his or her time with rambling gobbledegook. It's a tale of adventure, of friendship, and of perseverance. All characters that burst upon the pages of this wonderful story have their own personalities, all different, all vibrant. I shall not disclose them to you, but leave you to find them as I found them. Go with Emil on a adventure.

A simple story with some local color (boy from a village visits relatives in Berlin). There could have been a bit more twistiness in the plot or in the relationships between the boys, but it was all quite straightforward. Best for me was that I got through reading a book in German!

Gute Story und schöne Moral, ich bin Fan (und was ein Ehrenmove von Herrn Kästner, einfach einen eigenen Charakter nach sich selbst zu benennen
