A Wrinkle in Time de Madeleine L'Engle

A Wrinkle in Time

Autor Madeleine L'Engle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2018 – vârsta până la 12 ani

Observăm că tinerii cititori se vor identifica instantaneu cu Meg Murry, o protagonistă care nu este supereroină în sensul clasic, ci o fată curajoasă care își acceptă propriile imperfecțiuni pentru a-și salva familia. În această adaptare vizuală a clasicului A Wrinkle in Time, vulnerabilitatea lui Meg devine forța ei principală. Subliniem modul în care Hope Larson reușește să transpună conceptele complexe de „tesserare” și călătorie spațio-temporală în panouri grafice dinamice, păstrând în același timp vocea narativă inconfundabilă a autoarei Madeleine L'Engle. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de edițiile pur textuale, acest roman grafic folosește o cromatică limitată la alb, negru și albastru, o alegere stilistică ce subliniază atmosfera misterioasă și cosmică a aventurii. În familia The Wrinkle in Time Quintet - Digest Size Boxed Set de Madeleine L'Engle, regăsim aceeași dinamică a loialității fraterne, dar cu o temă actuală: importanța gândirii critice și a empatiei în fața unei conformități opresive. Această lucrare se plasează central în opera autoarei, făcând puntea între explorările științifice din A Wind in the Door și reflecțiile spirituale profunde regăsite în lucrări precum And It Was Good: Reflections on Beginnings. Este o experiență de lectură fluidă, care transformă un text filosofic într-o aventură vizuală accesibilă, fără a sacrifica profunzimea emoțională care a consacrat originalul timp de peste jumătate de secol.

Despre autor

Madeleine L'Engle (1918–2007) a fost o scriitoare americană de renume, a cărei operă vastă cuprinde beletristică, poezie și eseistică. Este celebră pentru modul în care a integrat elemente de fizică cuantică și teologie în literatura pentru tineret, abordare vizibilă în celebra serie Time Quintet. Cariera sa a fost marcată de distincții prestigioase, printre care și Newbery Medal. Opera sa reflectă un interes constant pentru echilibrul dintre știința modernă și experiența spirituală, teme explorate atât în romanele sale de ficțiune, cât și în lucrări de non-ficțiune precum Bread and Wine.

Notă biografică

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) was the Newbery Medal-winning author of more than 60 books, including the much-loved A Wrinkle in Time. Born in 1918, L'Engle grew up in New York City, Switzerland, South Carolina and Massachusetts. Her father was a reporter and her mother had studied to be a pianist, and their house was always full of musicians and theater people. L'Engle graduated cum laude from Smith College, then returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with a play, she wrote her first book, The Small Rain, originally published in 1945. She met her future husband, Hugh Franklin, when they both appeared in The Cherry Orchard. Upon becoming Mrs. Franklin, L'Engle gave up the stage in favor of the typewriter. In the years her three children were growing up, she wrote four more novels. Hugh Franklin temporarily retired from the theater, and the family moved to western Connecticut and for ten years ran a general store. Her book Meet the Austins, an American Library Association Notable Children's Book of 1960, was based on this experience. Her science fantasy classic A Wrinkle in Time was awarded the 1963 Newbery Medal. Two companion novels, A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet (a Newbery Honor book), complete what has come to be known as The Time Trilogy, a series that continues to grow in popularity with a new generation of readers. Her 1980 book A Ring of Endless Light won the Newbery Honor. L'Engle passed away in 2007 in Litchfield, Connecticut.

This is page-turning eye candy of the highest order." -James Patterson "This adaptation is fabulous for presenting a fresh vision to those familiar with the original, but it's so true to the story's soul that even those who've never read it will come away with a genuine understanding of L'Engle's ideas and heart." -Booklist, starred review "The memorable story of Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O'Keefe's adventure across space and time is conveyed with all the intellectual and emotional impact of the original novel." -BCCB "Larson has remained true to the story, preserving the original chapter format and retaining L'Engle's voice.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. "A Wrinkle in Time," winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. "A Wrinkle in Time" is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.

Recenzii

"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it so often, I know it by heart. Meg Murry was my hero growing up. I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom. And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT." - Meg Cabot "A book that every young person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place." - Cory Doctorow"(L'Engle's) work is one of the things that made me a writer, a science fiction and fantasy fan, an avid reader. Hers were the first books I read that mixed math and magic, the quest and the quantum." - Scott Westerfeld
