Критична оценка на препоръчвана литература по английски за деца домашни ученици

На този линк е даден голям списък с детска литература.

Голяма част от заглавията са посредствени писаници, но по-страшното е, че сред книгите виждам без обяснение за малолетните лош окултизъм и такъв по-прикрит, плагиатски, но пак много опасен. От много време не съм се занимавал с литература, но мисля, че сега е време да се направи оценка на такива заглавия. Ще групирам авторите в четири групи, като обяснения в момента няма да се правят. Някой от по-известните са вече разглеждани други по-малко известни и по-американски ще се прегледат допълнително.

Първо, сред заглавията излезли след 1950 година оригиналността и смисленост са второстепенен елемент. Това е епоха на меркантилно писане на килограм и натрапване на хартията с текст чрез държавни методи. Тези автори нямат заслуги да бъдат разглеждани.

Второ, група на правоверните, автори, за които мога да дам директна препоръка. Тяхното творчество трябва да се приема сериозно, не само като литературно и езиково творение.

Трето посредствени автори, незначителни заглавия в литературно отношение.

Четвърто, беснуеми теософо-окултисти, които могат и да има стойност за изучаването на английски, но е по-добре да се избягват и са крайно нежелателни за малолетни, освен ако се изучават със съответното предпазване от окулт. Поради приноса си в езичеството авторите и творбите им ще се разгледат допълнително...
