New Releases by Maurice Sendak

A obra-prima que revolucionou a história do livro ilustrado celebra 60 de anos de publicação e retorna aos leitores brasileiros. Quando Max veste sua fantasia de lobo, acaba fazendo tanta bagunça e malcriação que sua mãe o manda dormir sem jantar. Ao entrar no quarto, porém, Max embarca em uma viagem até a ilha onde vivem os monstros. Lá, o menino é nomeado rei e se torna livre para mandar, desmandar e fazer o que bem entender, sem se preocupar com regras impostas por outras pessoas. Mas a alegria do reinado de Max fica estremecida quando o menino sente, do outro lado do mundo, o cheiro de um jantar quentinho... E, assim, ele precisará refletir sobre sua partida (e suas escolhas). Essa é uma obra primorosa sobre o conflito entre a liberdade desejada pelas crianças e a autoridade imposta pelos adultos, e há gerações ocupa um lugar especial na biblioteca dos pequenos leitores ao redor do mundo. Um dos mais aclamados, premiados, traduzidos e queridos livros ilustrados de todos os tempos, Onde vivem os monstros é um clássico da literatura para crianças que revolucionou a maneira de se pensar e de se fazer o livro ilustrado. Depois de extrapolar as fronteiras do livro para virar filme, ópera e teatro, agora a obra está de volta ao Brasil. Indicado para leitores a partir dos 6 anos.

Max''s night-time adventure in the land of the Wild Things is a classic of 20th century children''s picture books.

Fifty years after Where the Wild Things Are was published comes the last book Maurice Sendak completed before his death in May 2012, My Brother''s Book. With influences from Shakespeare and William Blake, Sendak pays homage to his late brother, Jack, whom he credited for his passion for writing and drawing. Pairing Sendak''s poignant poetry with his exquisite and dramatic artwork, this book redefines what mature readers expect from Maurice Sendak while continuing the lasting legacy he created over his long, illustrious career. Sendak''s tribute to his brother is an expression of both grief and love and will resonate with his lifelong fans who may have read his children''s books and will be ecstatic to discover something for them now. Pulitzer Prize–winning literary critic and Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt contributes a moving introduction.

Since the publication of his classic Outside Over There in 1981, Maurice Sendak’s book illustrations have focused on interpreting the texts of such authors as James Marshall, Tony Kushner, Wilhelm Grimm, Ruth Krauss, Herman Melville, and Mother Goose. And beginning in 1980, with his sets and costumes for The Magic Flute, Sendak launched a busy second career as the designer of stage productions of opera and ballet. Now comes Bumble-Ardy, the first book he has written as well as illustrated in thirty years. Bumble-Ardy has evolved from an animated segment for Sesame Street to a glorious picture book about a mischievous pig who reaches the age of nine without ever having a birthday party. But all that changes when Bumble-Ardy throws a party for himself and invites all his friends, leading to a wild masquerade that quickly gets out of hand. In this highly anticipated picture book, Sendak once again explores the exuberance of young children and the unshakable love between parent (in this case, an aunt) and child.

On the front steps and in the cellar of ten-year-old producer-director Rosie''s Brooklyn row house, Rosie herself and her Nutshell friends put on a musical extravaganza.

There was a sign on Rosie''s door that said, "If you want to know a secret, knock three times." Kathy, Rosie''s good friend, knocked three times and learned the secret-that Rosie was no longer Rosie, but Alinda, the lovely lady singer. Adventures with Alinda were fun for Kathy and Sal and Pudgy and Dolly. Even Lenny, who occasionally didn''t believe in Alinda, was delighted by the Fourth of July celebration that Alinda, with the help of the Magic Man, held. At the end of the celebration, Alinda was gone forever, and Rosie had returned, but she soon found something else nice to be. Maurice Sendak, the well-known artist and author-illustrator of Kenny''s Window and Very Far Away, has written a story of real children, playing as only children know how. Young readers will wish that Alinda lived next door to them.

Maurice Sendak has interpreted these old'' Mother Goose rhymes in animated sequences that have the aliveness and immediacy of a child''s own imaginings. There is little in these verses to suggest the settings, the characterizations, the unforeseen twists and turns of Mr. Sendak''s fantastical picture-stories. They extend the boundaries of the short rhymes and add surprising dimension. The many admirers of Where the Wild Things Are and The Nutshell Library will recognize in Hector Protector and the seafarer of As I Went Over the Water the same pugnaciousness, love of mischief, and derring-do that characterize Max and Pierre. And they will agree that Mr. Sendak has created a true picture book of astounding originality.
