Articoli correlati a Counting stars
In Counting Stars David Almond tackles the themes common to his work - joy, darkness, love, death and identity - with exquisite sensitivity and tenderness.
David's childhood in the north of England was the inspiration for much of his work, and in these beautiful stories he creates a tangible picture of growing up in a large Catholic family. But the sense of mystery and wonderment we have come to expect from David is also present, and it is fascinating to see the kernels of his novels revealed. A must-read for Almond fans everywhere.
A stunning collection of stories from the author of the modern children's classic Skellig - winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.

Recensione:
Sparely written...this could well be Almond's best work yet. (The Independent)
He has the rare gift of being tender towards experience without either sentimentalising or indulging it; he knows that raw material must be worked on before it becomes art and he knows how to do it. (The Guardian)
A moving, perceptive collection that drifts back and forth over the shadowy border between fiction and autobiography, conjuring with brilliant clarity the elusive joys, sorrows and shames of childhood. (The Times)
Challenging and stunning. (The Bookseller)
It's a book to read and read again and, as the years pass, each new reading will reveal more truths (Lovereading4kids)
. . . a haunting and lyrical collection . . . intimate and personal . . . Full of emotion and sensitivity that are hard to match. (The Bookseller)
A collection of linked short stories from David Almond, a writer whose work is challenging and stunning. (The Bookseller)

We listen to the truth, the memories, the bits made up. We gaze at each other. We eat warm buttered toast. We know that the sun will fall, that children and the birds will be silent. We know that we will return to separate lives and separate deaths. We listen to the stories, that for an impossible afternoon hold back the coming of the dark." Packed weight 250gms.
