"A bear on Paddington Station?" said Mrs Brown in amazement. "Don't be silly - there can't be." The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat. The Browns soon found that Paddington was a very unusual bear.

When Paddington returns from his trip to Peru, he doesn't waste any time getting back to business. The stock exchange, the ballet, the barber's shop, Mr. Curry's kitchen - nothing is safe when Paddington gets to work.

How is it that we can walk unfamiliar streets while maintaining a sense of direction? How can we come up with shortcuts on the fly, in places we've never traveled? The answer is the complex mental map in our brains. This feature of our cognition is easily taken for granted, but it's also critical to our species' evolutionary success. In From Here to There, Michael Bond tells stories of the lost and found - Polynesian sailors, orienteering champions, early aviators - and surveys the science of human navigation.

A legsötétebb Peruból jött medve újabb kalandjaiban tovább folytatódik a felfedezések sora: Kis barátunk többek között családi csoportképet készít, tűzijátékot rendez és a hagyományos karácsonyi bevásárlásból, készülődésből is kiveszi a részét. A csetlő-botló, ámde mindenkinek örömet okozni akaró kis medve komoly erőfeszítéseket tesz, hogy átlásson az emberi lét kisebb-nagyobb összefüggésein. Felfedezéseinek komikuma pedig pontosan e kísérletek gyakori sikertelenségéből ered.

Londonban, a Paddington pályaudvaron várakozó Brown házaspár egy kuka mellett hatalmas karimájú fura kalapot pillant meg és alatta egy barna, bozontos nagyon kicsike medvét, nyakában egy táblával, rajta a felirattal: "Kérem, törődjenek ezzel a medvével! Köszönöm" - Így kezdődnek a távolról érkezett csetlő-botló, városi Micimackóvá formálódó kis medve kalandjai.

Im Sturm hat der Bär aus Peru die Herzen der Familie Brown erobert, die ihn bei sich aufnimmt, ohne zu ahnen, worauf sie sich einlässt. Denn ob im Garten oder an der Staffelei, ob im Palast der englischen Königin oder im Zoo - jeder Tag mit Paddington bringt ein neues turbulentes Abenteuer mit sich.

Having delivered a particularly stirring speech at his recently deceased colleague's funeral, Monsieur Pamplemousse is more than a little disturbed when the coffin explodes during the ceremony.

And was the same person responsible for his late co-worker's demise?

i>Le Guide, France’s top gastronomic guide, is failing to whet the appetite of its audience in America. Bribed by the director with offers of some time off, Monsieur Pamplemousse agrees to flex his literary muscles in a bid to address the problem by writing a play.

In this latest adventure, they must get to the bottom of a mystery surrounding the tarnishing of the integrity of Le Guide - France's premier hotel and restaurant guide. What they couldn't anticipate was that the case would involve a nun who is in the habit of joining the Mile High Club...

A Legsötétebb Peruból jött medve legeslegújabb kalandjai is megfelel a híres-neves Paddington-hagyományoknak: megmosolyogtató, pergő cselekményű, kedves, váratlan fordulatokkal teli mesék fűzére, amely nem mentes a megszokott bond-i társadalomkritikától sem. Bár Paddington láthatóan el-eltéved a mindennapi élet útvesztőiben, valójában a vele kapcsolatba lépők sem bizonyulnak minden esetben nálánál talpraesettebbnek.
