Yakari – serie

Yakari är en briljant berättad, kulturellt inkännande och miljömedveten skildring av den nordamerikanska prärieurbefolkningen och djurvärlden omkring den. Detta är volym 2 från Epix med berättelser som inte tidigare kommit på svenska.

Another exciting addition to the cult Yakari series! In Yakari and the Stranger, there's panic amongst the beavers. A pelican, fiendishly sick with a cold, makes an emergency landing amongst them. Not only does he keep them all awake with his sneezes, but he's dying of hunger. Yakari and Little thunder bring him to the otters, who cram him with fish. The pelican puts on weight quickly, but his thundering cold persists!

After a hunt that brought the tribe much needed supplies, Yakari is visited in his dreams by the buffalo, killed the day of his birth, whose pelt still serves as his blanket. Intrigued, the young Sioux and Little Thunder go see the great herd. From encounter to encounter, and by helping a young mother and her newborn calf against a particularly nasty wolf, Yakari learns to know those majestic animals so important to his own people's survival...

Yakari learns from the tribe’s elder that the Sioux haven’t always been the magnificent riders they are now – indeed, that there was a time they didn’t even know what a horse was. Shaken, he speaks a little too demandingly to Little Thunder, wounding his four-legged friend who immediately runs away. Devastated, the young boy will have to track down his companion and find a way to earn his forgiveness if he ever wants to share a gallop with him again...

Den schweizerfranska barnserien Yakari startade 1969 och görs fortfarande. Den är en både charmfull och sympatisk skildring av den nordamerikanska prärieurbefolkningen och den nordamerikanska djurvärlden.
