Ellabbad, Mohieddin
Das Notizbuch des Zeichners
Translated by Burgi Roos
NordSüd Verlag, Zürich, 2008
(German First Edition: Reihe Baobab, 2002, out of print)
32 pages, CHF 24.80 / EUR 13,80
ISBN 978-3-314-01595-3
Ages 8 and up
The illustrator's notebook holds memories, dreams and stories, and their associated feelings, aromas and images are brought to life in his pictorial collages. With astonishing facility he takes on life's major questions and in a unique way combines images from the East with those from the West. In doing so, he sometimes suddenly turns our vision of the world on its head. Poetically and with great sensitivity this bilingual German-Arabic picture book builds a bridge between cultures — not only for children, but for adults too.
