Skellig The Play

Autor David Almond
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2003 – vârsta până la 13 ani
The bestselling story about love, loss and hope that launched David Almond as one of the best children's writers of today has been adapted into a play by the author. Skellig The Play was directed by Trevor Nunn and performed by an all-star cast at the National Theatre in 2002.

When a move to a new house coincides with his baby sister's illness, Michael's world seems suddenly lonely and uncertain.

One Sunday afternoon, he stumbles into the ramshackle garage of his new home and finds something magical. A strange creature - human? beast? bird? angel? - a being who needs Michael's help if he is to survive. With his new friend Mina, Michael nourishes Skellig back to health.

But Skellig is far more than he at first appears, and as he helps Michael breathe life into his tiny sister, Michael's world changes for ever . . .

Recenzii

Lyrical, innovative and unforgettably moving.
Lyrical, innovative and moving...unforgettably moving
The book I wish I'd written is Skellig by David Almond. Almond's book has a great sense of the mysterious; we are left with a sense of wonder. I wish that I had written it!
This modern classic has been reissued in a beautiful 15th anniversary edition
An exquisitely crafted book with a mystical core
The sort of children's book that makes adults find excuses to read more of them
Hard to put down
Refusing to read this book on the grounds that you are not a child makes as much sense as refusing to read crime fiction because you are not a criminal. A deep and lovely book.
An exquisite book
Brings Magical Realism to working-class Northeast England
A story full of heart and magic and big confusing emotions, elegantly told by a master craftsman. A perfect piece of art
Touched with a visionary intensity, this strange, hugely readable and life-affirming tale exercises every muscle of the imagination
Humorous, heart-stopping and haunting...an emotional roller-coaster of a read with a cliff-hanger of a conclusion. Inspired and inspiring.
A visionary story...a lyrical, magical kind of book which can be read on many different levels
Voted Carnegie Medal's Number one Top Book of the past 70 years
I can't eat a chinese takeaway without thinking about this strange and beautiful book about an angel who seems to have lost his way.
A bookshelf essential.
Deservedly popular
Powerful and moving
A beautiful story which will enchant young and old alike
A modern classic
