Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Second in a trilogy, but the first read, as I do not care for the Swan Lake story. Helprin and VanAllsburg are a perfect pairing of author and illustrator. ( ![]() A sequel to the Helprin-van Allsburg collaboration SWAN LAKE, and the better tale because CITY IN WINTER is completely their story. The theme is alchemical in how faithfully it creates an allegory of the interior workings of the psyche. An anonymously raised princess ventures back to the city to reclaim her kingdom from the usurper. Beautiful writing -- here a description of the inner workings of a clock tower: "That which was not brass was gold; that not nickel, silver; that not glass, diamond or sapphire." (101) It is the second book in a series about a queen her kingdom and her enemies.Also see the veil of snows and swan lake by the same author. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
