Shaun Tan Książki

Zdarzyło się to kilka lat temu, pewnego zwyczajnego dnia przy plaży. Niewiele się działo. Jak zwykle niestrudzenie uzupełniałem swoją kolekcję kapsli i bez szczególnego powodu przystanąłem, by spojrzeć w górę. Wtedy pierwszy raz zobaczyłem tę rzecz. Tak zaczyna się opowieść o chłopcu i rzeczy, która swoim wyglądem nie przypomina ono zupełnie niczego. Chłopiec szybko orientuje się, że tajemnicze stworzenie się zgubiło i postanawia mu pomóc. Czy uda się znaleźć miejsce, do którego rzecz będzie pasować? Zguba to kolejny popis zachwycającej wyobraźni i niesamowitego talentu Shauna Tana, autora głośnych Opowieści z głębi miasta, Przybysza, czy Regulaminu na lato, laureata prestiżowej nagrody im. Astrid Lindgren za twórczość dla dzieci i młodzieży. Na podstawie Zguby Tan zrealizował nagrodzony Oscarem film animowany.

A beautiful collection of paintings, drawings and reflections on creatures, our constant companions, from the masterful narrative artist Shaun Tan. A creature does not necessarily represent one thing or another; it just is. A mysterious being in a mysterious world, much like you and me, trying to fit in, trying to be unique, or just trying to make sense of things as best we can, to exist. World-renowned artist Shaun Tan turns his hand to the theme of creatures. The first thing Shaun ever drew as a child was a creature, and they are still at the heart of his work. This volume collects together unseen and stand-alone drawings and paintings, along with rich and thoughtful commentary from Shaun on his inspirations. Delving deep into the timeless allure of non-human creatures, and what they might tell us about our 'normal' human selves, this book is perfect for artists, writers and dreamers alike
