Panorama
A Foldout Book
Vues d´ici
by Fani Marceau & Joëlle Jolivet
Translated by
|
|
An innovative format and breathtaking concept meet in this trip around the world and back again. This 32-page book fan folds out into a single panorama that takes the reader from India to Ecuador and from Iceland to Romania. Each natural scene seamlessly runs into the next, incorporating each area’s natural beauty and indigenous wildlife. On the reverse of the fanfold, the same scenes and locations are shown at night. It’s a beautiful and memorable look at the world from differing perspectives, eye-catching and completely unique. |

| Ungerer´s little blonde orphan Tiffany is far from helpless -- she is not afraid of the robbers and instead reforms them, converting their evil into goodness. By the end of the story, the robbers are using their ill-gotten gains to create a kinder, better world for other unhappy children who have been neglected by a thoughtless society. At the time of the book´s first publication, Tomi Ungerer summed up the moral of the story as, ´Whatever the color of money, it is never too late to make good use of it,´ an intriguingly ambivalent statement that serves as a good indication of the playful, unconventional, sometimes provocative and always entertaining nature of this author. |

The Princess and the Captain
La Princetta et le capitaine
by Anne-Laure Bondoux
Translated by Anthea Bell
|
|
Malva is the princess of Galnicia, destined to marry the Prince of Andemark. Or so her parents think. On the eve of her wedding, she escapes at dead of night from under her parents´ noses, little realising that she is letting herself in for a life of peril and adventure, including being shipwrecked in a huge storm and being captured as part of a harem. Hugely visual, the book tells of the wonder of frozen steppes and oriental palaces, of sailing ships and treasure islands. This is a book of drama, magic and excitement, where challenges have to be overcome, friendships cemented, and hearts broken. |

| Following on from the publication of Nicholas in June 2005, Nicholas Again is the equally beguiling second title in this well-loved series of books. "Nicholas Again" contains seventeen riotously funny escapades. An only child, Nicholas´s touchingly naive reaction to situations is often at odds with that of the adults around him. The results are calamitous: in the school room, at home or out and about, the exuberance of Nicholas and his friends often takes over. In "Nicholas", Goscinny and Sempe have created an archetypal schoolchild whose world of mishaps, confusions and downright naughtiness will raise a smile, whatever the age of the reader. This book offers not only a hilarious and entertaining read, but a vivid description of French life and culture. |
