NICHOLAS IN TROUBLE

Le Petit Nicolas #5

by René Goscinny, Jean-Jacques Sempé (Illustrator)

Following on from the publication of "Nicholas", "Nicholas Again", "Nicholas on Holiday" and 'Nicholas and the Gang", this is the equally funny and charming fifth title in this well-loved series of books, now available to English-speaking children all over the world. In "Nicholas in Trouble", the gang sell raffle tickets for good cause, learn how to cross the road safely and bring all kinds of interesting things to school, to the surprise and consternation of their long-suffering teacher. In "Nicholas", Goscinny and Sempe have created an archetypal schoolchild whose world of mishaps, confusions and downright naughtiness are sure to raise a smile, whatever the age of the reader.Written between 1959 and 1965, these classic books are loved by readers around the globe and offer not only a hilarious and entertaining read, but a vivid description of French life and culture. Though clearly set in a more innocent past, the charming world conjured up in this book is instantly familiar, full of situations almost everyone who has ever been seven years old can relate to without any trouble at all: being made to write thank-you letters, having to endure older relatives who keep insisting on giving you a kiss, and all those arguments with your friends that seem like the most important thing in the world one day, and are happily forgotten the next.Considered classics and available in twenty-six languages, the Nicholas stories delight both children and adults, and are regularly used as teaching materials by primary and junior school teachers. Firmly established as a literary cult figure, the sublimely innocent Nicholas has already charmed millions of readers world-wide since these books were first published over forty years ago. "Nicholas in Trouble" was translated from the original French by the award-winning Anthea Bell, who also helped to bring "Asterix the Gaul" to the English-speaking world.

بعد از سه دهه و به پیشنهاد دوستم برای پروژه این‌ ماه شروع به بازخوانیش کردم‌. راستش حتی بیشتر از دفع اول باهاش خندیدم. احساس میکنم اون موقع از دور جوک‌ها رُ میدیدم ولی الان و با حضور برادرزاده ناقلای خودم توی زندگیم، دیگه همه جوک‌ها و موقعیت های کُمیکی که از واقعیت‌های سرچشمه گرفته برام آشنا بود و بی‌اندازه خنده دار.
همزمان با این نسخه از کتاب، کتاب‌صوتی به گویندگی محیا رُ هم گوش داده که الحق والانصاف بی‌نقص بود. نمی دونم ایشون البته.

Goscinny era un genio, punto. Humor brillante con un punto se sátira costumbrista que llega muy bien a los adultos e ilustraciones excelentes de Sempé.

Czytamy sobie z synem na dobranoc. Chociaż znam te historyjki na pamięć, nie przestają mnie bawić, a młody uwielbia obrazki Sempego, także obaj mamy fun z tej lektury :)

My husband & I love the series so much that we decided to name our child after the main character.

What is not to love about Nicholas. He is small, cutely naughty & believes to have the best parents in the world.

Nicholas is always up to something, mostly not good. He has group of friends alike him and they all get in trouble all the time & love playing.

Mikolay’s world is very simple, not too complicated by any kind of worries & full of childhood adventures, even though he isn’t any kind of a superhero. Besides, it consists of witty writing & brilliant illustrations.

This 1960’s French series (translated to many languages) is going to give you & your child so much fun. You won’t be able to put it away. And you’ll be back to Mikolay many times. We read it to our son every evening & he always asks for more.

بچگونه ی بامزه
نیکولا بچه ایه که وقتی حوصله اش سر می ره
باباش بهش می گه برو عدس خیس بده که جوونه بزنه و بزرگ شه
نیکولا یه مشت عدس می ریزه تو آب
و هی می شینه به نگاه کردن که بزرگ شن
وقتی می بینه هیچ اتفاقی نمی افته
دوباره می ره پیش باباش
بابای کلافه اش می گه دیگه کم کم وقتشه یه سیلی بخوری
نیکولا لب ور میچینه می ره پی بازی
یه همچین بچه ایه نیکولا

مجموعه کتابهای نیکولا کوچولو بینظیر است! اینها را هم می توانید به بچه ها هدیه بدهید و هم به بزرگترها! به همه توصیه می کنم این کتابهای طنز را بخوانند و دوباره به دنیای کودکی سلام کنند.

Je m'ai rencontré avec Nicolas lors de ma recherche des livres faciles pour commencer à lire en français. Je suis comme un petit garçon qui apprend à lire, et Nicolas est un bon ami qui m'aidera.

A great read. Loved reading about Nicolas andentures in school, along with his freinds. The drawings are beautiful and the writing, simple, but entertaining.

paslanan fransızcamı hayata döndürmek için okudum da bu derece paslanmamış neyseki, onun dışında bazı hikayeler güzeldi bazıları sıkıcıydı. bir de nicholas'nın anne babası acayip sinir bozucu.

[Elly Tarahimofrad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Une bonne lecture. J'ai adoré lire à propos de Nicolas andentures à l'école, avec ses amis. Les dessins sont beaux et l'écriture, simple mais divertissante.
Il est petit, très vilain et croit avoir les meilleurs parents du monde.
Nicholas et sa bande font ce que les petits garçons font de mieux: transformer tout en un jeu qui se termine en difficulté Mais soyons honnêtes, c’est ce qui le rend si amusant!
École, gangs, enseignants et parents. Tous les éléments nécessaires aux simples contes que l'auteur parvient à donner une profondeur surprenante.
نیکولا نیکولای عزیز و کوچکم. دلم برات بیشتر از هرچیزی تنگ میشه . برای خودت و باند دوست داشتنی و شیرینت

تصمیم گرفتم کل مجموعه را بخوانم

[Clare · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you’ll enjoy Nicholas taking you a little further back in time. Created by the author of Asterix in 1964, Nicholas is a cheeky French schoolboy whose exploits will entertain for hours.

Nicholas and his gang do what little boys are best at: turn everything into a game that winds up in trouble. But let’s be honest, that’s what makes it so much fun!

Like when a burst pipe floods their classroom, so class is held in the boiler room, and chairs need carrying from the dining room... it’s chaos!

Or the lesson in crossing the road safely... they were doing really well until their teacher praised them, “so then we all dashed back full speed across the road to give her a hug.”

All their differences are amicably resolved with a thump or a punch, followed by never speaking again in their whole lives... or at least until one of their teachers shows up and spoils the fun. By next morning, the strife’s forgotten and they’re on to the next adventure.

You can’t help feeling a bit like their favourite teacher, ‘when she does that it means she’s trying not to laugh.’

These new editions of the English translation are collector’s items: cloth covered hardbacks with pen and ink illustrations throughout.

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Somewhere halfway between Dennis the Menace and William, Nicholas is a regular French schoolboy who gets into various scrapes at school and home. With its schoolyard politics, tantrums, visiting grannies and whatnot these tales feel like snapshots of a kind of childhood that felt universal when I was a child myself but is already markedly different from what most urban children today experience.

These are not very deep stories, they're more like pleasantly entertaining squibs, and a great way to while away a lazy afternoon.

[Narges Shegeft · Rating 3 out of 5]

Je suis très contente de lire un livre des enfants après des longues années depuis j’ai grandi. Bien sûr j’ai décidé de le lire pour finalement commencer à lire sérieusement en français et le faire mieux; cela m’a beaucoup aidé parce que c’était simple à comprendre et aussi j’ai appris certains de mots nouveaux en lisant. Je le recommande à toutes les personnes qui a le même but comme moi.
