Hardback. Condition: New. Traditional African narrative forms combined with European modernism.   The stories comprising The Healer, Marek Vadas's first collection, which was originally published in 2006, are steeped in the culture, rituals, and traditions of Africa, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality and peopled with characters whose gender, shape, skin color or even memories may change at a stroke. Nevertheless, Vadas refuses to exoticize this world, and many of the stories, told in pared-down language, blend mythical elements with realistic depictions of harsh living conditions, economic deprivation, and colonial oppression. The narratives unfold from the perspective of their protagonists-children (often orphaned), and men struggling to make ends meet and trying in vain to resist the allure of strong women endowed with magic powers. As a Slovak writer focusing on the African continent, Vadas is a rare voice that helps to build bridges between very different cultures, and now his writing is introduced to the global anglophone readership.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¡Huye! es la crónica del viaje, contada en primera persona, de un niño y su perro Alan a través de ciudades, países y continentes en busca de un nuevo hogar. El protagonista conocerá la solidaridad, pero también el rechazo y la soledad. Los habitantes de esos lugares son la personificación de cualidades que llevan a los prejuicios contra cualquier situación extraña y a la cómoda justificación del desinterés hacia la suerte del otro. El viaje termina en un campamento de refugiados: el símbolo de la desesperación. Las aventuras rebosantes de magia e imaginación, se encuentran en conjunción excepcional con las ilustraciones de Daniela Olejníková. Una novela gráfica juvenil que afronta, sin moraleja, el tema actual de los refugiados; una historia que invita a la reflexión. Un viaje que a nadie dejará indiferente. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.
