Wanderer

"Wonderfully strange and strangely wonderful, Peter Van Den Ende's Wanderer is an epic dream captured in superbly meticulous detail."—Shaun Tan

As with Shaun Tan's The Arrival, it gives us collective goosebumps to introduce the singular talent and imagination of Peter Van Den Ende to North America. Without a word, and with Escher-like precision, van den Ende presents one little paper boat's journey across the ocean, past reefs and between icebergs, through schools of fish, swaying water plants, and terrifying sea monsters. The little boat is all alone, and while its aloneness gives it the chance to wonder at the fairy-tale world above and below the waves uninterrupted, that also means it must save itself when it storms. And so it does. We hope that readers young and old will find the strength and inspiration that we did in this quietly powerful story about growing, learning, and life's ups and downs.

„Minunat de ciudat si de ciudat de minunat, Wanderer-ul lui Peter Van Den Ende este un vis epic surprins intr-un detaliu superb meticulos.” - Shaun Tan America de Nord. Fara un cuvant, si cu o precizie asemanatoare lui Escher, van den Ende prezinta calatoria unei mici barci de hartie peste ocean, recife trecute si intre aisberguri, prin siruri de pesti, leganand plante de apa si monstri terifianti de mare.
