The Eye of the Wolf

Product Information

As the boy tells his own tale, which, like the wolf's, reveals the cruelty of human beings, readers learn of his gift with animals, from his long desert days upon a camel's back. The newest, Suzanne, seems promising, but Lily is tired of feeling like a planet orbiting the sun Adam. The story of how they each came to be there, one from the cold climate of Alaska, the other from the heat of Africa, gradually unfolds. I find that there is a message of hope given in the book where friendship is possible between two different species who can hunt/eat each other.

The Eye of the Wolf is a magnificent and necessary, empathetic and wonderful book that Bookwagon is proud to sell. It is also the type of book that both a child and a parent can read and where they can talk about it together (which would be quite the whole point of the book, you know, friendship, family, love, all that). Finalul este magnific și aș fi plâns dacă nu aș fi fost călită de multele drame citite, iar mesajul este unul care ar trebui să ajungă nu doar la copii, ci și la adulți: aproape orice punte spre un suflet poate fi trecută cu răbdare, grijă și blândețe.I am sure you've already had a conversation with a child about important issues and have been wondering how that freckled kid could understand some things way better than you do and don't understand why you have to be so complicated about everything ? It is his gaze that heals the wolf in the end, bringing together Alaska and all the Africas at once. Accompanying an astonishing photograph of the tree frog leaping away from a boa snake are three lines (“The snake flicks its tongue. Although, at points it was kind of confusing and you only get a certain amount of time which is a bit of a fuss but otherwise it is brilliant!

Un racconto delicatissimo: occhi negli occhi, senza bisogno di parole, due esistenze agli antipodi, eppure accomunate dalla stessa solitudine si trovano a condividere la propria storia.

Sometimes, you just learn listening to those kids and their vision of the world (and other times, after watching a Dora episode for the 50th time, you might not). Eu l-aș compara mai degrabă cu Jack London, poate într-o variantă mai accesibilă și copiilor mai mici, dar la fel de emoționantă.
