About the Author

The most popular current writer of humorous verse for children, Shel Silverstein was born in Chicago, Illinois, has been married and divorced, has one daughter, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. His career includes composing popular songs, drawing cartoons, writing many adult articles mostrar mais (several for Playboy), and acting. However, he is best known for his self-illustrated children's poetry. His first such book was Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back (1963), the humorous tale of a lion who turns the tables on hunters. It was followed by The Giving Tree (1964), a story of a parentlike tree that gives endlessly and is endlessly used by its son. Several other such picture books followed, including The Missing Piece (1976), about a circle that goes in search of a missing piece, and its sequel, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O (1981). However, two collections of poetry are probably his best-loved work: Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein (1974), and A Light in the Attic (1981). All of Silverstein's poetry for children employs the language play common to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Silverstein is probably the best of the contemporary nonsense poets for children.

A árvore generosa por Shel Silverstein

Este livro é um excelente exemplo de como, com muito pouco, se diz e se sugere muito.

A Árvore Generosa por Shel SILVERSTEIN

Publicado pela primeira vez em 1964, com o título original The Giving Tree, este álbum narrativo vocacionado para as primeiras idades proporciona múltiplos níveis de leitura, constituindo um excelente exemplo de como, com muito pouco, se diz e se sugere muito. Evidenciando uma invulgar eficácia de relato, resultante do aspecto visual – com sóbrias ilustrações, a ocuparem páginas duplas e compostas a traço negro sobre papel creme –, e da sugestiva componente linguística, e muito especialmente do jogo de sentidos que entre as duas vertentes se opera, esta obra guarda a história de um amor incondicional entre uma árvore antropomorfizada e um menino dedicado e sonhador, transformado pelo tempo (e talvez pela cidade/sociedade?) num adulto egoísta, distante e que apenas regressa para junto da sua amiga por razões materiais. O impacto emotivo deste livro é indiscutível e a singularidade da sua composição, harmoniosa e simbólica, garante o seu sucesso junto de leitores pequenos ou grandes. |Sara Reis da Silva… (mais)

A árvore Ggenerosa por Shel Silverstein

Duas fortes qualidades aliam-se neste livro. O facto de abordar questões fundamentais como o tempo, a morte, a vida, a relação amorosa e de amizade, tudo o que nos posiciona face aos outros e a nós próprios, assim como a aposta ao nível estético, na sobriedade narrativa e ilustrativa, com o traço simples e preciso de Silverstein.

A árvore generosa por Shel Silverstein

Com poucas palavras, Silverstein fala da relação entre o homem e a natureza, onde uma árvore oferece tudo a um menino, que a deixa de lado ao crescer ao mesmo tempo que se torna num homem egoísta. Mas para agradar ao menino que ama, a generosidade desta árvore não tem fim - ainda que isto signifique a sua própria destruição.
