New Releases by Wolf Erlbruch

Cos’è il coraggio? Lanciarsi a tutta birra in sella a una bicicletta o camminare su una fune sospesi nel vuoto? O semplicemente rinunciare a schiacciare una zanzara anche se ci ha punto, scrivere una lettera d’amore, diventare grandi? Gli irresistibili protagonisti delle illustrazioni di Wolf Erlbruch sono gatti, oche, gufi, maialini alle prese con le paure e le sfide della quotidianità. Talmente umani da spingere il poeta Arne Rautenberg a prendere la penna e ad accompagnare le loro peripezie con testi scanzonati e fuori dalle righe. Un felice incontro tra disegni e parole che racconta, con leggerezza e giocosità, quella grande avventura che è crescere.

Do premiado autor e ilustrador alemão Wolf Erlbruch, uma história sobre perda e luto que se tornou um dos grandes clássicos da literatura infantil mundial. Um dia, o pato se dá conta da presença da morte logo atrás dele — e tem certeza de que a sua hora chegou. Mas as coisas tomam um rumo inesperado, e os dois começam a passar um tempo juntos. Com o pato, a morte desfruta um pouco da vida: eles dão mergulhos no lago, tiram longas sonecas e sobem na copa das árvores. A partir dessa amizade inusitada, esta obra-prima da literatura infantil nos convida a refletir sobre o fim da vida e os momentos que o rodeiam — que podem ser tão delicados quanto uma tulipa. “É difícil descrever como este livro extraordinariamente terno consegue ser ao mesmo tempo dolorido e reconfortante, mas é o que ele é.” — The New York Times Indicado para leitores a partir dos 6 anos.

A duck becomes friends with Death, and it’s the most natural thing in the world. Trust me, adults get far more weirded out by this book than children ever do.

Death is portrayed as a sympathetic figure in a dressing gown who is with us all the time, but who only comes into Duck’s consciousness towards the end of his life. It is warm, poignant and witty.”—Anthony Browne, The Guardian

La 4e de couverture indique : "L'amour en poésie, mais pas seulement... "

Was Liebe ist, ist schwer zu sagen. Nur soviel scheint klar: irgendwas mit Küssen und so. Zwei, die sich lieben jedenfalls ist ein kleines Buch für alle, die sich ihre Gedankenmachen über die Liebe. Darüber, wer wen küssen will und darf und sogar soll. Über das Davor und das Danach. Das Sehnen, das Finden, Geniessen und Abschied nehmen. Wolf Erlbruch interessiert sich schon lange für solche Sachen und hat uns mit vielen Bildern erstaunlicher Paare beglückt. Jürg Schubiger hat jetzt - mit offensichtlichem Vergnügen - Verse zu Erlbruchs Bildern gefunden und zusammen vermitteln die beiden doch eine sehr optimistische Sicht: Insgesamt ist sie mehr schön als schwer, die Liebe. Und das Küssen sowieso. (Verlagstext).

“Siempre llega un momento en que el niño se pregunta sobre la muerte. Ingenuamente, con toda la naturalidad del mundo. Los padres lo saben, pero pocas veces tienen preparada una respuesta simple y convincente. El personaje de la muerte en este libro de Erlbruch es una acompañante silenciosa y leve como una pluma, siempre presente aunque no la percibamos: Desde hacía tiempo, el pato notaba algo extraño. -¿Quién eres? ¿Por qué me sigues tan de cerca y sin hacer ruido? La muerte le contestó: -Me alegro de que por fin me hayas visto. Soy la muerte. El pato se asustó. Quién no lo habría hecho. -¿Ya vienes a buscarme? -He estado cerca de ti desde el día en que naciste... por si acaso. -¿Por si acaso? -preguntó el pato. -Sí, por si te pasaba algo. Un resfriado serio, un accidente... ¡nunca se sabe! - Sí, nunca se sabe... pero si de algo podemos estar seguros es que Wolf Erlbruch responde con sencillez las grandes preguntas con la poesía de sus ilustraciones y de sus historias. Para niños y adultos.“

Ein Kinderbuch? Kein Kinderbuch? Ein Buch vom Leid? Ein Buch vom Schluss? Erzählt es eine Fabel? Ein Märchen? Überhaupt eine Geschichte? Oder ist es vielmehr eine Meditation? , fragte sich Benedikt Erenz in der Zeit, als Ente, Tod und Tulpe vor drei Jahren erschien. Und befand, dass es ein Buch sei für kleine Menschen und für große Menschen; Ein meisterhaftes und ein unendlich tröstliches Buch, das in den verschiedensten Regalen seinen Platz finden könne. Womit er ganz richtig lag - Das Buch wurde im deutschsprachigen Raum bislang über 50.000mal verkauft und in sechzehn Sprachen übersetzt. Nun erscheint Ente, Tod und Tulpe in handlichem Format und edler Ausstattung, für alle, die es nicht ins Regal stellen, sondern immer in der Tasche dabei haben wollen.
