Revue de presse
Sparely written...this could well be Almond's best work yet. (The Independent 2000-10-28)
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 2000-11-30)
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 2000-11-15)
Challenging and stunning. (The Bookseller 2000-11-15)
SKELLIG:
'Gripping, beautiful and brilliantly written ... everyone is raving about this unforgettable book.'
KIT'S WILDERNESS
' ... this superb piece of lyrically-written fiction captivates teenagers and their parents alike.'
HEAVEN EYES
' ... surprising, perfect and mysterious all at once ... Heaven Eyes is full of satisfyingly surprising beauty.'
COUNTING STARS
' . . . a haunting and lyrical collection . . . intimate and personal . . . Full of emotion and sensitivity that are hard to match.'
A collection of linked short stories from David Almond, a writer whose work is challenging and stunning. (The Bookseller, 15/9/00)
Présentation de l'éditeur
His first novel, SKELLIG won David Almond critical acclaim and several awards. His second and third books, KIT'S WILDERNESS and HEAVEN EYES, established him as an author of unique insight and skill. In COUNTING STARS he 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.
