Sure, all of the stories were known to me from previous reading; it didn't matter one bit, because I still smiled just as broadly as the first time I read them. Ada kisah mengharukan saat Herriot harus memberikan penenang permanen kepada hewan yang terkena kanker untuk melepas penderitaannya. gadi jaunam vetārstam no universitātes sola dziļos laukos nozīmēja negulētas naktis, nogurdinoši attālumi un nebeidzami izsaukumi, pieņemot dzemdības govīm, zirgiem, aitām, kā arī ārstējot neskaitāmus mājlopus. Tak lama, bergabung pula Tristan Farnon, adik Siegfried yang memiliki sifat jauh berbeda — ia periang, ceroboh, namun selalu beruntung. And many of the ones that supposedly occur in the 1930s and '40s are based on things that actually happened in the '60s and '70s, when he was writing.

Nav iespējams nelasīt šos jaunā vetārsta emuārus nesmejoties, brīžiem izdvešot tādas skaņas, it kā smiekli nāktu no aploka. Nezinu nevienu citu grāmatu, kur galvenais varonis lielāko daļu epizodēs ir iebāzis roku kādā lielā mājdzīvniekā. Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, If Only They Could Talk is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain’s wild places. Overall, Herriot's books are a testament to the power of compassion, empathy, and love, both for animals and for our fellow human beings. Owing in part to professional etiquette which at that time frowned on veterinary surgeons and other professionals from advertising their services, he took a pen name, choosing "James Herriot".

In an age of social uncertainties, when there seem to be no remedies for anything, Wight's stories of resolute grappling with mysterious bacterial foes or severe injuries have an almost heroic quality, giving the reader a sense of assurance, even hope. In this book at least, there's really nothing heavy, it's all just entertaining, fun, and light, but very well written. Buku Herriot yang penuh keajaiban ini akhirnya membawa aku di tahun 2010 ke kota Darrowby untuk mengikuti kembali jejak perjalanan James Herriot di kota kesayangannya itu. Martin's Press in New York City, received a copy and arranged to have the first two books published as a single volume in the United States. If Only They Could Talk was published in the United Kingdom in 1970 by Michael Joseph Ltd, but sales were slow until Thomas McCormack, of St.

Apart from being incredibly entertaining, Herriot’s books also offer a historical perspective at the practice of veterinary science that was followed in Britain during the time period.

Herriot who was hoping for some tranquil life at the rural Darrowby soon finds himself literally knee-deep in highly amusing adventures in which the farmers, animals and a bunch of other characters - like 'Siegfried Farnon' and his lazy brother ‘Tristan Farnon’ - adding to the merry.

Ja esi sirdī dzīvnieku mīlis, šī grāmata ir jāizlasa- humors savijoties ar ikdienas skarbumu pavērs durvju šķirbiņu uz 30. He talks way too much (in my opinion) about the weather, the ongoing discussions between his boss and his brother, their secretary and the animal owners instead of going into more details about treating the animals and the animals themselves, it's all quite superficial to me. Many of Herriot’s works—including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing—became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television. Further, it is Wight's shrewd observations of persons, animals, and their close inter-relationship, which give his writing much of its savour. That man in the picture had just finished an excellent lunch and had moved next door to do a bit of calving just for the sheer pleasure of it, as a kind of dessert.The characters of Skeldale house, along with the eccentric locals - (not forgetting Tricki Woo, the over-indulged Pekingese), will have you really guffawing from start to finish. James quickly learnt that dealing with animals was sometimes easier than dealing with people, especially farming people who were used to doing things their own way. It was a bedtime read, and I realised that every night I was looking forward to going to bed, just so I could read some more. I had some trepidation about reading Vet in a Spin as i have strong views on war, but was pleasantly surprised with the apolitical content and found it experience based.

Because the previous book I read ('The Choice') was a bit on the heavy side emotional wise, I wanted a lighter read and found this first book in this series (6 books or even more followed) among my nature books on my bookshelves. I remember watching in the 1980s some little tidbits of the British TV series 'All Creatures Great and Small', which is based on this book (and later ones as well).I was glad to see some of my long-time favorites from Herriot's little Darrowby community, like Mrs. There are many moments when this writing can bring tears to your eyes, especially when a beloved animal passes away or has to be put down.
