The One and Only Ivan

The One and Only Ivan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Katherine Applegate's many books include the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, and the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. With her husband, Michael Grant, she wrote the hugely popular series Animorphs, which has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.

Katherine was inspired to write The One and Only Ivan after reading about the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla. The real Ivan lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a public outcry. He was a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan was well known for his paintings, which he "signed" with a thumbprint.

Katherine lives in California with her husband and two children.

Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all.

Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he’s seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.

Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see their home—and his own art—through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it’s up to Ivan to make it a change for the better.

Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create Ivan’s unforgettable first-person narration in a story of friendship, art, and hope.

读后感

这是一本探索人与动物关系的书,尽管这样的探索偏向稚嫩化,但却足以打动人心。马戏团里的人与动物是雇佣的关系,好比人利用着、驱使着动物。可是,在这样的情形下,动物成了彻彻底底的赚钱的工具,人与动物的关系被异化。而动物园,一个看似美好的地方,动物可以在自己那一小...

一本好的儿童文学作品,应当给读者——无论是小读者还是其家长——以思考和启迪。就此而言,《独一无二的伊凡》无疑是一本出色的儿童小说。 伊凡是一只的银背大猩猩,当它还是宝宝的时候,就被人类从非洲丛林囚到商城的游乐场里。27年来没有见过同类,从不追问自己从哪里来,...

今天北京阴雨霏霏,去小区门口取快递时,发现几株玉兰树上已是花苞朵朵了,原本那是每年春来时喜人的景色,尤其是给上下班的路上增加色彩,但如今每日开车,反倒没有机会遇见,差一点就错过了报春的消息。 这本书也是闺女推荐的,复工后被现场和远程交流的夹击下,工作与生活时...

当你看到动物被关在笼子里的时候,那些在丛林里玩耍的动物被人类折磨,你骑在大象背上的时候,却不知道这温顺从何而来,你有没有想到动物需要家,那些马戏团里的小棚子,不是它们的家,而是一个笼子,,关押动物的笼子,丛林,大自然才是他们真正的家,人类与动物天生共存,没...

以动物为主角的绘本几乎占据了童书类别的半壁江山,其中大多数都是拟人态的故事,穿插着关心、爱护、团结、帮助等主题。而《大猩猩伊万》是一只真实的大猩猩,除了描写美好的人与动物之间的情感之外,还着力渲染了一层更深的含义,那就是尊重与相互尊重。 这...

前半部分真的讓人心碎。Stella死了好難過,但幸好Ruby和Ivan都有個相對好的結局。感慨裏面說的,人類有很壞的,也有好的,human can sometimes surprise you。作為同樣的人類,我面對醜惡的人性時也經常提醒自己,不是所有人都那麽壞,要有信心,有耐心。要不是這樣,人類早完蛋了,一點點人性之光可以燎原。

看到最后才知道原来Ivan是确实存在的一头银背大猩猩,从被捕猎到被豢养被展示直至被沸腾的民意解救到动物园。Ivan很清楚动物园依旧是一个笼子,但是这是它能有的最好结局了,能有其他被解救的大猩猩一起抱团养老。它真是智慧生物啊。这本书的文字非常好,极富诗意,因为这是一只大猩猩的独白,过四级英文的人就能看了。
