NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • The extraordinary and inspiring true story about the surprising bond between a young teacher and the small penguin he rescued“The Penguin Lessons teaches an important truth: that a single act of compassion can be repaid a thousand-fold.”—Sy Montgomery, author of the National Book Award finalist The Soul of an OctopusIn 1975, twenty-three-year-old Englishman Tom Michell follows his wanderlust to Argentina, where he becomes assistant master at a prestigious boarding school. But Michell’s adventures really begin when, on a weekend in Uruguay, he rescues a penguin covered in oil from an ocean spill, cleans the bird up, and attempts to return him to the sea. The penguin refuses to leave his rescuer’s side. “That was the moment at which he became my penguin, and whatever the future held, we’d face it together,” says Michell in this charming memoir.Michell names the penguin Juan Salvador (“John Saved”), but Juan Salvador, as it turns out, is the one who saves Michell.After Michell smuggles the bird back to Argentina and into his campus apartment, word spreads about the young Englishman’s unusual roommate. Juan Salvador is suddenly the center of attention—as mascot of the rugby team, confidant to the dorm housekeeper, co-host of Michell’s parties, and an unprecedented swimming coach to a shy boy. Even through the collapse of the Perónist government and amid the country’s economic and political strife, Juan Salvador brings joy to everyone around him—especially Michell, who considers the affectionate animal a compadre and kindred spirit.Witty and heartwarming, The Penguin Lessons is a classic in the making, a story that is both absurd and wonderful, exactly like Juan Salvador.

Tom Michell är singel, frisinnad och äventyrslysten. Han har en enkelbiljett till Sydamerika, en lärartjänst på en prestigefylld internatskola i Argentina och gott om ledig tid. Han har till och med en motorcykel. Vad han inte behöver är ett husdjur – och definitivt inte en pingvin.

Det här är den rörande berättelsen om pingvinen Juan Salvador, som Tom räddar från ett oljeutsläpp i Uruguay bara några dagar före terminsstarten. När fågeln vägrar lämna hans sida har den unge läraren inget annat val än att smuggla den över gränsen, genom tullen och hela vägen till skolan.

Som rugbylagets maskot, hushållerskans förtrogna, festernas självklara mittpunkt och kanske världshistoriens mest osannolika simtränare förändrar Juan Salvador livet för alla han möter – inte minst för en pojke med stark hemlängtan.

För Tom blir Juan Salvador något mer än ett oväntat sällskap, han får en vän som förändrar honom i grunden.

Pingvinlektionerna är en varm, rolig och gripande sann historia som har fängslat läsare över hela världen. Den har filmatiserats med Steve Coogan, Björn Gustafsson och Jonathan Pryce i rollerna.

Engelsmannen Tom Michell är tjugotre år, singel och brinner av äventyrslust. Han får jobb som lärare på en prestigefylld internatskola i Argentina under det politiskt turbulenta 70-talet. Men det stora äventyret börjar då Tom räddar en oljeindränkt pingvin på en strand i Uruguay. Efter det vägrar fågeln lämna sin räddares sida och Tom har inget annat val än att smuggla med sig pingvinen på flyget tillbaka till campus. Pingvinen döps till Juan Salvador och blir centrum för allas uppmärksamhet på skolan. Han blir rugbylagets maskot, värd på Toms fester, hushållerskans förtrogne och simtränare till en blyg student. Juan Salvador sprider glädje till alla runt omkring - särskilt till Tom som i pingvinen har hittat en compadre. En charmig berättelse för alla som älskade Marley och jag, Bibliotekskatten Dewey och Gatukatten Bob.
