Wislava Szymborska and Guido Scarabottolo. Paolo Nori and Andrea Antinori.
A writer and an illustrator perform a duet within the pages of these books.
Short, dense texts, accompanied by drawings of artistic quality, the work of recognized authors.
Small format, important style. Low cost but great value books. To give and treat yourself. To collect. To indulge in a special reading, which you can return to whenever you need a “refill” of beauty.
A COSA SERVONO I GATTI (WHAT CATS ARE FOR). Paolo Nori, Andrea Antinori
“And when things went badly, and things went pretty bad, a tenderness came over me, for me, for my senseless life, that I would not have been able to say if it was good, bad, or nothing.”
There are times when we would like to buy a slicer, a ham, sixteen packs of sliced bread and eight tubes of mayonnaise, go home, eat, go to bed, wake up, eat, go to bed.
And in those days you often wonder: is everything going well or everything wrong? What does it mean to affect reality? And above all: what are cats for?
Between loneliness and disorientation (in the kitchen, at home, as well as on vacation in Amsterdam), self-irony and tenderness, a text by Paolo Nori that is funny and a little bitter about the moments of “nothing” that we all experience. Masterfully interpreted by the drawings of Andrea Antinori, among the 20 “Italian excellences in the new generation of Italian children’s illustrators” selected by the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2021.
LA PRIMA FRASE È SEMPRE LA PIÙ DIFFICILE (THE FIRST SENTENCE IS ALWAYS THE MOST DIFFICULT). Wislawa Szymborska, Guido Scarabottolo
“Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been and always will be a series of people who receive your visit. “
The strength of these people – and poets among them – is that of repeating themselves every day “I don’t know”. The strength to keep the amazement of things intact.
A text by the poetess Nobel Prize for literature, accompanied and made unique by the drawings of Guido Scarabottolo.
