Vječni Tuckovi

Vječni Tuckovi

Natalie Babbitt

Imagine that you come across the fountain of eternal youth quite by accident. To live forever, never to grow old, isn't that everyone's dream? For the Tuck family, eternal life is a reality, but that doesn't make them happy at all.

Eighty years ago, they accidentally drank water from a magical spring and have been wandering the earth ever since, hiding their secret. But then one day ten-year-old and curious Winnie Foster, walking in the woods that belong to her family, came across the handsome and young Jesse Tuck drinking from a beautiful spring. Seeing a stream that she didn't even know existed, Winnie wanted to drink from it, but Jesse strongly objected. Since he couldn't answer her at all, he had no choice but to take the persistent girl to her parents so they could decide together what to do. The more time she spends with the Tucks, the more Winnie is torn by doubts and doubts about whether eternal life is truly a blessing or a curse. And, a dark shadow will loom over the Tucks' idyll: on their heels is an evil man in a yellow coat who has been following them for years and trying to find out where the strange source of eternal youth is hidden. This story speaks in a subtle and imaginative way about the issues of life, death, the relativity of happiness and natural cycles. Natalie Babbitt won numerous awards for her stories, and with the novel The Eternal Tucks, she put the seal of eternity on her work, which was confirmed by the successful Disney adaptation twenty years after the book was published.
