Recenzii
“Richly layered and textured, this glowing work transports the reader into the world of the centuries-old tales. With lush patterns, Ludmila Zeman retells Sindbad’s epic voyage in an animated contemporary fashion.”
ߝFrom the jury for the Governor General’ s Literary Awards
“Zeman’s richly colored illustrations, details, coherent, and carefully composed…create an enticing introduction to a collection of tales that inspired writers from Hans Christian Andersen to Robert Louis Stevenson.”
ߝSchool Library Journal
“…this buoyantly told tale [is] lavishly illustrated with intricately detailed paintings.”
ߝSchool Library Journal
“Dark, richly detailed pencil, colored-pencil, and watercolor illustrations add a Persian flair…. [O]n the whole, Sinbad’s adventures will find favor.”
ߝThe Horn Book Guide
“…sumptuously illustrated…its pages are as intricate and elaborate as ancient tapestries or flying carpets…”
ߝThe Globe and Mail
“Zeman…preserve[s] much of the exoticism and excitement of the original [Sindbad stories]. Glowing pencil and watercolor illustrations are done in the style of ancient Persian miniatures.”
ߝThe Washington Post
“Ludmila Zeman has created another beautiful volume…. The award-winning illustrator has once again used luminous colour and rich texture to create highly detailed paintings… [T]he unusual cinematic vantage points and the stunning details…challenge the viewer to take a closer look at their work. It is apparent that The Thousand and One Nights is one of Zeman’s favorite books as she has so beautifully created the fabulous world of Sindbad and his very lively and vivacious elephant friends. Very highly recommended.”
ߝCM Magazine
“…a brilliantly illustrated picture book…”
ߝChildren’s Bookwatch
“…detailed illustrations will captivate even reluctant readers ߝ perfect for boys…”
ߝCanadian Living
“…manages to preserve much of the exoticism and excitement of the originals.”
ߝBook World
“Every page is a luxurious weaving of intense colour and delicate detail. An aura of mystery and exoticism suffuses the art, partly because of the extraordinary magical subjects, and partly because of the deep, rich hues that cause each page to glow.”
ߝThe Toronto Star
“The plot is packed, and the pace is quick…. The pencil and watercolor illustrations and text boxes are framed in ornately detailed borders, and each composition…features magical scenery…. Zeman’s combination of breathless storytelling and color-drenched images successfully establishes this picture book as a wonder tale…”
ߝBulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“This striking combination of dramatic storytelling and compelling illustration make a fine introduction to the Arabian Nights Entertainments for young children.”
ߝThe Peace Arch News
“Looking at Zeman’s framed pencil and watercolour illustrations is like viewing paintings in a museum. The decorative borders surrounding the illustrations and the elaborate Islamic-themed designs gracing the endpapers make this book a work of art.”
ߝMontreal Review of Books
“The exotic story and pictures immediately entranced, and led us to further explore other of the famous Arabian tales.”
ߝThe Guelph Mercury
“Sinbad’s Secret is a superbly told and richly illustrated story of adventure and hardship, greed and kindness, loneliness and love. The beauty in this book lies in its illustrations.”
ߝThe Hamilton Spectator
“Whispering mysteries, songs of the ages, the wonders of wandering —they’re all in Ludmila Zeman’s illustrated versions of Sindbad, Sindbad’s Secret and Sindbad in the Land of Giants… These sumptuously illustrated books, their pages glowing with crimson, turquoise, amber and gold, … present a fantastical world of monsters, frantic escapes and feats of daring —all of which our hero Sindbad endures with glorious success.“The classic The Tales of the Thousand and One Nights is a potent source for today’s epic fantasy.”
