Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this ingenious and captivating reimagining of Rudyard Kipling's classic adventureThe Jungle Book, Neil Gaiman tells the unforgettable story of Nobody Owens, a living, breathing boy whose home is a graveyard, raised by a guardian who belongs neither to the mortal world nor the realm of the dead. Among the mausoleums and headstones of his home, Bod experiences things most mortals can barely imagine. But real, flesh-and-blood danger waits just outside the cemetery walls: the man who murdered the infant Bod's family will not rest until he finds Nobody Owens and finishes the job he began many years ago.
A #1New York Timesbestseller and winner of many international awards, including the Hugo Award for best novel and the Locus Award,The Graveyard Bookis a glorious meditation on love, loss, survival, and sacrifice . . . and what it means to truly be alive.

Recenzii

The Graveyard Book, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form. In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment.”
“Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying.”
The Graveyard Bookfeels like the careful work of an old craftsman.”
“The invention of immortal folk who readers feel they might like to kick back with may be this prolific, tousle-haired, ex-pat British author’s contribution to world literature.”
“It’s hard to think of a more delightful and scary place to spend 300 pages.”
“This brief, dark, savoury adventure deserves to become a modern classic of children’s writing: it has more mystery, excitement and wisdom in a single chapter than all the soap-operatic dilemmas, empty acrobatics and moral dogmatism in those thousands of pages of Potter franchise.”
“Wistful, witty, wise—and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child.”
“Genuinely frightening.”
The Graveyard Bookis everything everyone loves about Neil Gaiman, only multiplied many times over, a novel that showcases his effortless feel for narrative, his flawless instincts for suspense, and above all, his dark, almost silky sense of humor.
“I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it.”
The Graveyard Bookconfirms what I’ve always thought: Neil Gaiman is a literary genius!”
The Graveyard Bookis endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death.”
