Englisches Buch für Referat

Vielleicht wäre das hier was für dich.

Welche englischen Bücher hast du denn schon gelesen?

Die Black Magician Trilogy kenne ich nur auf Deutsch. Du meinst doch die von Trudi Canavan?

Englische Fantasy, die sich gut lesen lässt, schreibt auch Neil Gaiman.
Da würde ich dir Stardust empfehlen, übersetzt Der Sternenwanderer, der auch vor kurzem als Verfilmung in den Kinos war. Das ließe sich auch gut ins Referat einbauen.

Jenachdem, wie gut du in Englisch bist, könntest du es ja auch mal mit einem Klassiker wie Peter Pan oder Alice in the Wonderland versuchen. Die Penguin Classic Ausgaben kosten auch nicht viel.

Vielleicht wäre dieses Buch etwas. Ich musste das auch in der 10. vorstellen und es lässt sich recht leicht lesen. Ist zwar nicht unbedingt Fantasy, aber Hexen sind auch mal ganz nett

Zum Inhalt:

Mary's grandmother is executed for witchcraft, and Mary is forced to leave her home to avoid the same fate. At first she flees to the English countryside, but when the atmosphere of superstition and suspicion becomes all consuming she leaves on a boat for America in the hope that she can start over and forget her past. But during the journey, she realises that the past is not so easy to escape.

Ich habe das auch bei Buchticket eingestellt. Meld dich einfach falls du Interesse hast.

Ich finde das erste Buch von Trudi Canavan ist nicht so gut wie die beiden folgenden, weil es erst am Ende so richtig spannend wird. Aber das ist vielleicht auch gar nicht so schlecht...dann kann man es umso besser zusammen fassen. Ich hab den zweiten und dritten Teil auf englisch gelesen und fand beide gut verständlich...

Sixteen-year-old Kaye Fierch is not human, but she doesn't know it. Sure, she knows she's interacted with faeries since she was little--but she never imagined she was one of them, her blond Asian human appearance only a magically crafted cover-up for her true, green-skinned pixie self. First-time author Holly Black explores Kaye's self-discovery and dual worlds in her riveting, suspenseful novel Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale. The book has its faults: it slips into shock-value mode; the descriptions are often overwritten (sunset on the water looks like the sun slit his wrists in a bathtub); the language is overly, unnecessarily explicit; and the writing often unpolished. Still, the story's pull is undeniable, and readers under its spell will be hard-pressed to put the book down.

The novel begins in a bar in Philly, where Kaye's alcoholic rock-singer mother's boyfriend tries to kill her. For their own safety, mother and daughter quickly move back to grandma's on the New Jersey shore where Kaye grew up. This ugly turn of events was all rigged by the Faerie world, as it turns out, a world Black describes in deliciously vivid, if rather overblown, detail. Kaye, a drinking, smoking, foul-mouthed high school dropout in the land of mortals, soon finds herself embroiled--as a human sacrifice, no less--in a battle between Faerieland's Seelie and more malevolent Unseelie courts. The beautiful, mysterious knight Roiben, torn between worlds himself, falls in love with Kaye--the brave, clever changeling--against his better judgment. Throughout the electrifying journey to the horrific underworld of this modern faerie fantasy, teen readers will relate to a hard-luck tough girl who feels alienated, discovers her best qualities in the worst of circumstances, and finally finds a place between worlds where she can feel at home.

Trudi Canavans Bücher sind sicherlich gut zum Vorstellen geeignet...

"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."

As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.

Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell

Das Buch gehört zwar nicht ins Genre Fantasy, aber es ist ein Klassiker:

Harold and Maude - Collin Higgins

Inhalt:
Harold und Maude lieben Beerdigungen, und eben da treffen sich die beiden sonst sehr unterschiedlichen Charaktere: der depressive Teenager aus gutem Hause und die vitale Greisin mit ihren verrückten Ideen! Welche Auswirkungen wird diese Bekanntschaft nachsich ziehen?

Twilight ist momentan mein absolutes Lieblingsbuch...
Ich hoffe es gefällt dir.
Das andere Buch kenn ich leider nicht. Gibt es dazu schon eine Rezi? *mit dem Zaunpfahl wink*
