A moral cornerstone for aspiring and continuing teachers, this novel, written by a veteran of the vocation, has sold over a million copies and remains one of the most enduring achievements of modern Japanese literature. At the core, the challenges of teaching are the same the world over. Kenjiro Haitani's charming and profoundly moving reminder to keep faith with the kids is finally out in English.
It's a typical day at the elementary school when a beautiful young newlywed named Ms. Kotani, the new teacher, eagerly goes into class and leaves before the final bell sobbing. Her students include the silent boy Tetsuzo, whose hobby is collecting flies, and a girl, Minako, who could keep Ritalin in business all alone. Most of the school's teachers have never given these kids a chance, but Ms. Kotani will not give up so easily --- even when her single-minded efforts start hurting her marriage.
Kenjiro Haitani is the recipient of the Andersen International Award for Excellence in Children's Fiction. He founded a nursery school --- Children of the Sun --- twenty years ago and is a member of UNESCO and a tireless activist for children's rights. A Rabbit's Eye marks his stateside debut.

评分一拿到这本《兔之眼》,我愣是在三天的空隙时间,完成了全书的阅读,很受益,虽然日本人的书读起来会有点拗口。刚大学毕业的小谷芙美老师用她那纯朴又真实的心灵,在教师这条职业生涯中寻觅着她的价值,索性她做到了,没有用很特别的方法,而纯粹只是用到了一颗最真诚的心。 ...
评分读着读着《兔之眼》,童年那件后悔的事便在记忆里像枫叶般羞愧的掉落。 十几年的少年求学路,前后换过许多个班级。可是无论班级大小,总有那么一两个被同学遗忘被老师抛弃的角色顽强的存在于角落。无论他或她在班级的毕业照上绽放出多么灿烂的笑容,我还是疑惑着记不起他们的...
评分 评分如果,只能是如果,老师都能象小谷老师和足立老师那样,我们会感觉人生多了许多快乐,多了许多成功! 也许,碰到一个好老师,会改变人的一生!不是也许,是肯定! 从小到大写过无数次的《我的理想》的作文,我都是写的想当老师(没当上),看这本书还在想,我如果当了老师会不...
