Das Geheimnis des denkenden Hasen und andere Geschichten

The hare Hänschen learns to think by nibbling: this is how he sniffs out ideas. And the dog Ulisses is so clever that he can tell the incredible story of how a fig tree causes a stir on Mrs. Oniria's chicken farm. And Laura, that ugly hen, is in a panic about ending up in the frying pan. If you think there are many animals, just wait until you meet all of Clarice's friends: the hen Odissea, the roosters Ovidio and Luis, the chick Hermany, and many more. The tales in 'The Secret of the Thinking Hare and Other Stories' are full of lively, surprising, and enchanting characters created by the most important Brazilian writer, who, as you will discover, loved many animals. Inspired by her son Paulo, Clarice Lispector began writing children's books. When the little boy saw his mother deeply engrossed in writing a novel, he asked her to write a story for him as well. This led to 'The Secret of the Thinking Hare' and three other children's books, in which animals are always the protagonists. 'A vida íntima de Laura' (Laura's Family Life), 'Quase de verdade' (A Almost True Story), and 'O mistério do coelho pensante' (The Secret of the Thinking Hare) are now being published for the first time in German and in a special edition.
