Molt bona història per a una edat entre uns 10 i uns 12 o 13 anys, però que també pot llegir un adult. La traducció de Roser Lluch és bonÃssima, gairebé perfecta, amb una gran riquesa lèxica i una qualitat a la qual no estam acostumats avui en dia. Pel que fa a la llargada, com va dir Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, no sé si és un conte llarg o una novel·la curta. Ideal per als preadolescents i adolescents que no es passen el dia davant una pantalla, que no sé si són gaires. It was an interesting, but short read. The format was unique. Dialogue was not separated or marked with quotations. I'm not sure if this was because it's a translated edition, I don't see why it would be. I'm also not sure what the author's purpose was in doing this. There was very little diaglogue though and it's from the viewpoint of children, so maybe just reinforcing the simplicity of the idea of the book. Read it and tell me what you think!

HTML:"Oz conjures up a fairy story in which we may well recognize ourselves, our history and our nations . . . be prepared simply to be enchanted." â??The Guardian In a gray and gloomy village, all of the animalsâ??from dogs and cats to fish and snailsâ??disappeared years before. No one talks about it and no one knows why, though everyone agrees that the village has been cursed. But when two children see a fishâ??a tiny one and just for a secondâ??they become determined to unravel the mystery of where the animals have gone. And so they travel into the depths of the forest with that mission in mind, terrified and hopeful about what they may encounter. From the internationally bestselling author Amos Oz, this is a hauntingly beautiful fable for both children and adults about tolerance, loneliness, denial, and remembrance. "In this swiftly moving fable, Oz creates palpable tension with a repetitive, almost hypnotic rhythm and lyrical language that twists a discussion-provoking morality tale into something much more enchanting." â??Booklist "Short, poetic, and haunting, the book operates on a plane of mystery somewhere between fable and fairy tale . . . The great beauty of this story is the rhythm and clarity of its evocative language." â??New York Journal of Books "From the whispered tales of a local monster to the brash, spunky heroes on a quest, internationally acclaimed Israeli author Oz litters his story with fairy-tale tropes that give this narrative a fable-like quality; the atmosphere is intriguingly secretive and shadowed, but the prose is measured and accessible and the length manageable." â??
