Robinson
In his latest book for young children, Petr Sís intertwines the legendary story of Robinson Crusoe with his own childhood experiences. After a school masquerade ball, the hero finds himself on a deserted tropical island that becomes his new home. In the midst of exotic nature, he learns how to find food, build shelter and acquire all the necessities of life. The author has created a poetic and colourful homage to classic adventure novels and the liberated colour of European fauvism. This beautifully illustrated story explores the true value of self-sufficiency, solitude and friendship.
