Pēdējo nedēļu laikā esmu sācis apdomāt šīs grāmatas. Kad man bija 10 gadu, lasīju tās angliski, taču šobrīd šķetinu un domāju par to latvisko tulkojumu - atradu dažas no tām ibookā, bet ne visas, un internetā informācijas vienkārši nav. Zinu, ka nav visai populāras, bet vai kāds zina - vai visas ir tulkotas latviski? Atradu tikai pirmās 6.

Vispār rakstu par šo, jo gribēju tās iztulkot. Prasās kāds hobijs, un šis šķiet diezgan amizants un jautrs, kā arī valodas prasmju uzlabošanai derīgs! Vēlējos papētīt, cik kvalitatīvs ir vecais tulkojums, un vai vispār ir pieejamas visas daļas.

Paldies par jebkāda veida palīdzību jau iepriekš!!

Count Olaf is always referred to as "Beaudelaires fourth cousin three times removed" or "Beaudelaires third cousin four times removed", but, is this true or not? Count Olaf seems at least to me around 37-41 years old, he only looks older due to his whiskers and wrinkles, probably due to stress (if Olaf was really their "third cousin" or "fourth cousin", that would mean he is the direct cousin of one of their grandparents or great-grandparents, and in that case, Olaf must be significantly older than that, or already have had passed away). Besides, he is not precisely someone to "trust in" (well, Violet, Klaus and Sunny even gulp a lot everytime he interacts with them, and on Olaf's side, he does not seem to have any interaction with other relatives of The Beaudelaires prior to Bertrand and Beatrice and gaining jealously of them after since because of them (although accidentally), Olaf's father was killed, so he burnt their house and planned to marry Violet and later kill her and her siblings Klaus and Sunny to get their fortune and belongings as a revenge). Also, we don't even know his last name, he is just simply 'Olaf'. So, Olaf was really being honest with the "far cousin" claim or not?

I love explaining the lore to newbies, I would love to put some of my homies on to this. The content of the plot is enough to have a grown man who grew up on it invested in it like crazy. This is not just a silly tale for children, it's art; a symbol of resillience among three talented and sharp-witted children. Violet(14-15), Klaus(12-13), & Sonny(a literal infant, mind you) were smarter than the people who were supposed to be investigating the infamous Count Olaf and his goons. Those 3 children faced moments of pure terror and adversity with bravery, sharp Intellect(and teeth lol). They survived a hypnotist teamed up with Olaf at a lumber mill who could've very well abducted them under the guise of them being "adopted" by Count Olaf dressed in drag and nobody would have questioned it, instead Violet knew Georgina Orwell(1984 mind control symbolism) was up to no good so she put a stop to that, saving Charles in the process. Also the old timey aesthetic looks so cool to me, and the secret society/1940's spy elements are also very cool IMO.

So in The Ersatz Elevator, Olaf disguises himself as Gunther a foreign auctioneer that has a fake foreign accent and uses the word please (incorrectly) at the end of all of his sentences. But why later in the series does Madame Lulu also share the characteristic of having a fake foreign accent and using the word please incorrectly in her sentences?

Hi everyone! My sister is an enormous fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events; she even has signatures from Kit Snicket and Jacqueline from the Netflix series! Her birthday is in a few months, and I’m trying to find some props from the show to surprise her.

Im mainly looking for actual props or memorabilia, and we’re definitely open to different prices depending on what the item is, just nothing too crazy.

I know it is pretty hard to find them, as I went looking and couldn't find much. If anyone has any props they’re willing to part with, please let me know! We’d love to see pictures and hear what you have. We’re also open to different types of props, so feel free to reach out even if you’re not sure whether it’s something we’d be interested in. (Or if you know where I could find them, that would be great as well!!)

Thanks!! :)

As we all know, the Baudelaire children are incredibly skilled. Violet is The Inventor, Klaus is The Reader and Sunny is The Biter. The Quagmire triplets have specific skills they are known for as well: Isadora is The Poet, Duncan is The Journalist, and Quigley is The Cartographer.

My question for a Very Fun Discussion is this: If you were unfortunate enough to find yourself in the ASOUE universe, what skill would you be known for?

I think Lemony Snicket would call me something like "quite the young historian given her limited years alive." So maybe I would be dubbed The Historian of my troupe after sharing any number of irrelevant historical facts during our brainstorms to take down Count Olaf. Share what you specific skill you would bring to VFD!

Across most of the series only Violet and Klaus can understand Sunny and often translate her babbles for others. Apart from Fernald who has a little sister Fiona. So based off of this I feel the implication is that Baby is just a language that only Babies speak and it seems Babies or at least Sunny understand English but are unable to respond in it.

I also feel there's a implication that you can't just learn the language you have to have been a older sibling. Maybe it's just you have to have taken care of a baby but I feel like Mr. Poe disproves that as I believe he was unable to understand Sunny as well despite having Children. Ofc there's a chance Mr. Poe is the expectation or that he hasn't had to translate it in a while and forgot how to since his children are 10ish I believe.

This might be already a theory, but I thought of it last night.

I wanna buy the book so bad I’ve been looking for it for years, if someone bought it can you pls pls tell me from where I’m dying to get my hands on it

Was randomly thinking of this. I think it’s vaguely implied they used to perform together (sort of? I’m thinking of My Silence Knot technically implying they at least sort of did.) Even if it isn’t, which I’m guessing it isn’t meant to imply that, I personally think they were both theatre kids and would do good in a Phantom of The Opera performance.

Who’s with me or against me on this?

(Pre-having to break up because Lemony got framed for murder in the books (no one’s ever told me he wasn’t framed for murder by Count Olaf in the books because Count Olaf didn’t like his bad review of the stolen performance so I believe it) (I think TUA kind of hinted towards this))

For me, nothing in youth lit series quite beats ASOUE, but I've read everything there is of them to my niece and nephew, and they want a new series now. (I'm also a Bruce Coville fan so we've done a couple of his series, and they've heard HP, and a ton of Dahl)

I see things online saying we'll love The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place but I've never read them a series I haven't already read. I'd really appreciate opinions from fellow ASOUE fans because I know although I'm sure I love at least one poet you hate and vice versa, we are more likely to have a book preference in common than not.
