Gargantas abertas

by Marina Colasanti (1998)

About this book

"Work opens and closes with two poems in Italian as an introduction to these poems inspired by poet's travels and especially reminiscences of Italy, where she grew up. The poem 'Em Que Espelho' dialogues with Cecília Meirelles' poem 'Retrato,' from which it borrows the title. In Meirelles' verse 'Em que espelho ficou perdida minha face?' Colasanti searches for her dead mother's face and her own. The women in the fields, the washerwomen of her childhood, or the women portrayed by Vermeer, Cranach, or Artemisia, personify their passion and rage and survive as modern-day 'Salomés,' carrying in the tray 'nem prata, nem Batista / um copo d'água.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Chevaux et poneys

texte de Anne-Sophie Baumann

Une série de premiers documentaires alliant ingénieusement jeux d'observation et notions didactiques dispensées sous forme de questions-réponses pour éveiller la curiosité des jeunes enfants à une thématique donnée. Chaque titre regroupe ainsi une douzaine d'illustrations se déployant sur autant de doubles pages, auxquelles sont intégrés des encadrés colorés formulant diverses interrogations en lien avec des éléments représentés. Dans le coin inférieur droit, une loupe invite l'enfant à réveiller le Sherlock Holmes qui sommeille en lui en repérant trois objets dissimulés dans l'image. Une documentation concise, présentée dans une formule dynamique et stimulante, parfaitement adaptée au jeune public visé. [SDM].
