Klappentext zu „The Enduring Ark “
This Indian retelling of the great flood story is illustrated in the vivid narrative style of Patua scroll art from West Bengal, India. Distinctive Indian images combine with fable-like text to present a contemporary environmental perspective on the timeless theme of human misdeeds, natural destruction, and eventual redemption. In this artfully designed book, enclosed in a colourful slipcase, the vertical panels of a Patua scroll unfold as a series of horizontal accordion folds, taking the reader through the ebb and flow of a raging ocean towards a rainbow of hope.

Rezension zu „The Enduring Ark “
"The book's innovative accordion design illustrated in the Bengal Patua style of scroll painting is just one of the sumptuous design elements that distinguish it as a remarkable offering. . . A gorgeous re-envisioning of an old, old story." Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review"This striking version is illustrated by Joydeb Chitrakar in a Bengali style of scroll painting--with rich colors, strong black lines, and appealingly primitive renderings of people and creatures. The pages are connected, accordion-style, so that a child can turn the pages, as in a regular book, or pull the whole thing out flat to see the story of Noah's ark unfurling" The Wall Street Journal"The stunning illustrations--which really constitute one continual image--reflect an openhearted, instantly accessible folk art aesthetic . . . a glorious example of storytelling's universality." Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"This beautifully designed and intelligently produced retelling of the flood expands the bounds of bookmaking." Shelf Awareness
