Telephone Tales

內容簡介

內容簡介 義大利兒童文學之父羅大里所寫的70則奇幻故事2021年美國巴特德爾獎得獎繪本出外工作的父親每晚九點鐘都會打電話回家，用一個銅板的通話時間說睡前故事給女兒聽。就像《天方夜譚》般，每天的故事都不一樣，有神奇的旋轉木馬、一曬太陽就會融化的奶油人，還有一切空空的空空先生。《電話寓言故事》是強尼‧羅大里1962年的作品。他在1970年獲頒「兒童文學諾貝爾獎」安徒生大獎，是20世紀最偉大的兒童文學作家之一，作品已被翻譯成五十多國語言。這本繪本由獲獎無數的義大利藝術家瓦勒里奧‧維達利重新繪製插圖，開啟一個又一個新奇的想像世界。Every night, at nine o’clock, wherever he is, Mr. Bianchi, an accountant who often has to travel for work, calls his daughter and tells her a bedtime story. But since it’s still the 20th century world of pay phones, each story has to be told in the time that a single coin will buy.Reminiscent of Scheherazade and One Thousand and One Nights, Gianni Rodari’s Telephone Tales is composed of many stories--in fact, seventy short stories, with one for each phone call. Each story is set in a different place and a different time, with unconventional characters and a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy. One night, it’s a carousel so beloved by children that an old man finally sneaks on to understand why, and as he sails above the world, he does. Or, it’s a land filled with butter men, roads paved with chocolate, or a young shrimp who has the courage to do things in a different way from what he’s supposed to do.Awarded the Hans Christian Anderson Award in 1970, Gianni Rodari is widely considered to be Italy’s most important children’s author of the 20th century. Newly re-illustrated by Italian artist Valerio Vidali (The Forest), Telephone Tales entertains, while questioning and imagining other worlds.Winner of the 2021 Batchelder Award and the 2020 Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’s English Translation Prize

作者介紹

作者介紹 Gianni RodariThe Italian Author Gianni Rodari wrote many beloved children’s books and was awarded the prestigious Andersen Prize. But he was also an educator of paramount importance in Italy and an activist who understood the liberating power of the imagination. He is one of the twentieth century’s greatest authors for children, and Italy’s greatest. Influenced by French surrealism and linguistics, Rodari stressed the importance of poetic language, metaphor, made-up language, and play. At a time when schooling was all about factual knowledge, Rodari wrote The Grammar of Fantasy, a radically imaginative book about storytelling and play. He was a forerunner of writing techniques such as the ""fantastic binomial"" and the utopian, world engendering ""what if...."" The relevance of Rodari’s works today lies in his poetics of imagination, his humanist yet challenging approach to reality, and his themes, such as war and peace, immigration, injustice, inequality, and liberty. Forty years after his death, Rodari’s writing is as powerful and innovative as ever. He died in Rome in 1980.Antony ShugaarAntony Shugaar is a writer and translator, working out of Italian and French. He once interviewed the creator of Topo Gigio.Valerio VidaliValerio Vidali is an Italian illustrator and picture book author, whose work has received numerous recognitions. His book The Forest (Enchanted Lion, 2018) was a New York Time’s Best Illustrated book of 2018, as was his book Jemmy Button, in 2013. His work has also received the Grand Prix of ILUSTRARTE, the International Biennal of Illustration; the CJ Picture Book Award; as well as honors from the American Society of Illustrators and the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.His latest book Hundred (Kein & Aber 2018) is currently nominated for the German Children’s Literature.
