Klang, Raum und Bild: Schon der Titel dieses Bilder-Buchs sagt es aus: Da wird voll Lust und Witz mit Sprache gespielt, untermalt von Bildern, die Raum zum weiter Fantasieren geben. Auf je einer Seite wird das ganze Alphabet durch fabuliert, wobei je zwei Buchstaben ein doppelseitiges Bild ergeben. Die Zweizeiler pro Buchstaben eröffnen bildlich und klanglich eine ganze Welt mit Stabreimen, Sprachschöpfungen, voller Schabernack, Zungenbrecher wie Sandstrand und Strandsand und wundervollen Vergleichen, sind doch die Quallen auf Geisterreise, der Ara ruft auch Schweinehund und spuckt dabei ein gewisses Bürstchen aus. Isabel Pins grosszügige Illustrationen heben diese Sprachbilder meisterhaft hervor, je länger man sie betrachtet, desto mehr entdeckt man. Genussvoll liegt die veraltete Echse in der Astgabel und bietet der Elfe ihren Schwanz als Schaukel an oder das Monster, das erschrecken möchte, hat sehr wohl zackige Zähne, aber einen schelmischen Blick und ein Fell, das zum Knuddeln einlädt. So hätte ich das ABC auch gerne gelernt! Ab 5 Jahren, *****, Elisabeth Tschudi-Moser.… (altro)

Cuando una niña o un niño pregunta: Y esto, ¿qué es?, comienza el intuitivo diálogo de búsqueda y construcción de un universo personal, en el que conviven la realidad y la fantasía. En este libro poético e ingenioso Schubiger y Wolf Erlbruch, dos consagrados autores de la literatura infantil, nos invitan a disfrutar este maravilloso momento de la vida.

Hinterlassene Schuhe, which freely translates as "Left-behind Shoes" is a novel by the experimental Swiss psyciatrist and novelist Jürg Schubiger (1936).

The novel starts with the somewhat unsettling episode of a man, who empties out his shoes and then drops them into a ravine. He then drives off in his car, and arrives, without shoes, at a boarding house, where he takes a room, and has dinner with the proprietress and her daughter. Upon his departure, the woman gives him a pair of shoes, which belonged to her deceased husband.

From the opening pages, the reader knows that the main character is a murderer. Hence, his irrational behaviour is somewhat explained.

Next, the man picks up a woman at a filling station. It gradually becomes clear that he has no place to go. He drives his car, picks up women, and finds shelter in boarding houses and the like. There is a tension in the pages of the book. References to the dead man's shoes, contribute to a sense of impending danger.

Unfortunately, the author is unable to maintain this power of suspense. Nothing happens, and the book merely consists of a chain of such chance encounters, and the initial tension slips away.

Very disappointing after such an initially interesting beginning.
