Abstract

Ovaj rad obrađuje slikovnice Jamesa Norburyja Veliki Panda i Sićušni Zmaj i Putovanje Velikog Pande i Sićušnog Zmaja. Cilj je predstaviti autora, njegovu poetiku izražavanja životne filozofije, tematiku knjiga i provodne motive koji se mogu u njima pronaći, opisati likove i njihove uloge u pričama te analizirati jezični stil ovih dviju knjiga. Opisat ću budizam i kakav je utjecaj budistička filozofija imala na autora prilikom stvaranja likova i njihovog odnosa prema situacijama, koja je razlika poetike Istoka i Zapada, koji je odnos ilustracije i teksta te zašto je ilustracija bitna u ovim knjigama. Dotaknut ću se raznih stilskih figura i opisati njihov utjecaj na tekst te istražiti povijest pandi i zmajeva i otkriti odgovaraju li likovi Pande i Zmaja povijesnoj predodžbi o tim (mitskim) životinjama. Zaključak vezan uz ove slikovnice je da bi bile korisne za odgajatelje prilikom rada s djecom jer modeliraju ponašanja učitelja koji polako vodi svog učenika do cilja bez da mu direktno govori kuda treba ići.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with James Norbury's picture books Big Panda and Tiny Dragon and The Journey: Big Panda and Tiny Dragon. The goal is to present the author, his poetics of expressing his life philosophy, the themes of books and the underlying motifs that can be found in them, describe the characters and their roles in the stories and analiyse the language style of these two books. I will describe Buddhism, what influence Buddhist philosophy had on the author when he created the characters and their attitude towards situations, what is the difference between East and West poetics, what is the relationship between illustration and text and why is illustration important these books. I will touch on various stylistic figures and describe their influence on the text, as well as explore the history of pandas and dragons to find out whether the characters of Panda and Dragon correspond to the historical idea of these (mystical) animals. The conclusion related to these picture books is that they would be useful for educators when working with children because they model the behavior of a teacher who slowly leads his student to the goal without directly telling him where to go.
