- Résumé : "The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle" by Hugh Lofting is a captivating tale that follows the adventures of a young boy named Tommy Stubbins and the extraordinary Doctor John Dolittle, a naturalist who can communicate with animals. The story begins with Tommy, the son of a cobbler in the small town of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, who rescues a wounded squirrel and seeks the help of Doctor Dolittle. Tommy is fascinated by the Doctor's ability to speak with animals and is eager to learn from him. The Doctor, who has just returned from a voyage, welcomes Tommy into his home, a place filled with a variety of animals and a private zoo. As Tommy becomes acquainted with the Doctor, he learns about the Doctor's past adventures and his quest to learn the languages of different animals, including shellfish. The Doctor's home is a hub of activity, with animals like Polynesia the parrot and Jip the dog playing significant roles in the household. Polynesia, who has recently returned from Africa, shares stories of their past adventures and updates on mutual friends, including Prince Bumpo and Chee-Chee the monkey. The narrative is rich with themes of friendship, curiosity, and the wonders of the natural world. Doctor Dolittle's remarkable ability to communicate with animals opens up a world of possibilities and adventures for Tommy, who is eager to learn and explore. The story is not only a journey into the world of animals but also a journey of personal growth for Tommy as he learns from the Doctor's wisdom and kindness.
- Biographie : Hugh John Lofting (14 January 1886 - 26 September 1947) was an English American writer trained as a civil engineer, who created the classic children's literature character Doctor Dolittle. The fictional physician to talking animals, based in an English village, first appeared in illustrated letters to his children which Lofting sent from British Army trenches in the First World War. Lofting settled in the United States soon after the war and before his first book was published.
