One of the founders of the Impressionist movement while also one of
its most ruthless critics, too bohemian for the bourgeois and too
bourgeois for the artists, Edgar Degas was a man of paradoxes. A
loner, he only loved one woman without ever courting her, the
American painter Mary Cassatt whom we follow closely as well. And
it is in the company of the latter that at the twilight of his
life, Efa and Rubio open the pages of Degas's notebooks to try to
unravel the mystery of this genius steeped in contradictions.
In this wordless graphic novel, a galactic Robinson Crusoe is
stranded on a desert planet, where he survives on what coconuts he
can find. Until one day a delectable croissant, perfectly wrapped
in plastic, lands on the shore of the beach, a gift from the gods.
There's only one problem: Robinson's companion, Friday, also loves
baked goods--and so begins a wild chase, the likes of which the
solar system has never seen. This exhilarating, humorous take on a
classic tale will delight children even as it introduces them to a
seminal work of Western literature. The lack of text also means
prereaders will be able to return to the story time and again
without an adult's help.
"En esta novela grafica sin palabras, un Robinson Crusoe espacial
esta varado en un planeta desierto en el cual sobrevive comiendo
cuantos cocos puede conseguir. Hasta que un dia un delicioso
cruasan, perfectamente envuelto en plastico, cae en la orilla de la
playa, un manjar de los dioses. Existe solo una complicacion: a
Viernes, el companero de Robinson, tambien le encantan los panes--y
asi se desencadena una espectacular persecucion que jamas viese
aquel sistema solar. Esta excitante, humoristica recreacion de una
historia clasica deleitara a los ninos a la misma vez que les
presenta una obra fundamental de la literatura occidental. La
ausencia de texto le permite a los prelectores seguir la historia
sin la intermediacion de un adulto."
