Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again

release date: Mar 13, 2012
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again
Buckle your seatbelt for the first-ever follow up to Ian Fleming's only children's story. When the Tooting family finds an old engine and fits it to their camper van, they have no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead. The engine used to belong to an extraordinary car . . . and it wants its bodywork back! But as the Tootings hurtle across the world rebuilding the original Chitty, a sinister baddie is on their trail — one who will stop at nothing to get the magnificent car for himself. Fueled by wry humor , this much-anticipated sequel to the children’s classic by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond — fe aturing a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own — is driven by best-selling, award-winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce and revved up by Joe Berger’s black-and-white illustrations.

Mais il était trop tard pour revenir en arrière... on avait déjà décollé !

Jurybegründung: Im Schlagschatten eines grossen Berges leben die Bewohner des walisischen Städtchens Manod. Doch die verträumte Kleinstadtatmosphäre wird gestört, als die wertvollen Kunstwerke der National Gallery im Bauch des Berges eingelagert werden sollen. Frank Cottrell Boyce greift diese "wahre" historische Begebenheit auf, verschiebt sie in die Gegenwart und entwickelt daraus einen fulminant ersonnenen Roman. Dabei zeichnet er ein liebevolles Porträt eines kleinen Tagebuchschreibers und dessen Familie, die den Anforderungen ihres nicht immer einfachen Alltags mit viel Charme und Erfindungsgeist trotzen. Boyce schafft eine klug erdachte Familiensaga, eine heitere Schelmengeschichte und surft gleichzeitig durch die Kunsthistorie, ironisiert den bildungsbürgerlichen Umgang mit dem wertvollen Erbe. Schwungvoll erzählt, mit Liebe zum Detail und mit viel Humor und literarischem Verstand, schafft der Autor ein wunderbar verregnetes Meisterwerk. Die Übersetzung aus dem Englischen von Salah Naoura lässt das walisische Schiefergrau des Schauplatzes Manod in Sonnenblumengelb leuchten. (Quelle: www.jugendliteratur.org).

Frank Cottrell Boyce é um conhecido guionista de filmes britânico que se inspirou no filme homónimo, de sua autoria, estrando-se assim na literatura infanto-juvenil. É uma verdadeira obra-prima em mais que um sentido, um livro ''diferente'', que tem vindo a apaixonar adultos e crianças em todo o mundo! É uma história que poderia ter acontecido no nosso tempo, inteligente e de uma sensibilidade invulgar, sendo ao mesmo tempo muitíssimo divertida. Quando após a morte da Mãe, Damian, que é quem conta a história, Anthony, o irmão mais velho, e o desorientado Pai mudam de casa, todos três, à sua maneira, têm de lidar com aquela dolorosa perda afectiva. Damian, um miúdo formidável, é um ser que pertence a dois mundos. A sua paixão são os santos e, em certa medida, tentar ser sempre bom, para ele, é uma forma de se aproximar da Mãe. Anthony, ao contrário do irmão, possui um forte sentido das realidades. Mas mesmo Damian, no seu esforço para se aproximar do Céu, é atingido pela realidade, sob a forma de um saco de dinheiro que ele julga ter caído Lá de Cima. O grande problema deste excepcional acontecimento, para toda a família, é que isto se passa na tansição da moeda nacional para o Euro e aquele dinheiro, qualquer que seja o fim a que o destinem, tem de ser gasto em 17 dias!
