Chabouté's starkly beautiful black and white images relay mystery, beauty, and mood with eloquence. With few words, the art entrances the reader, developing the story through images that require the reader to look carefully, and with patience. The main character doesn't even appear until well into 100 pages into the book. Readers are rewarded with a beautiful, unexpected story. Especially great for teaching visual literacy and storytelling. no reviews | add a review

"On a tiny lighthouse island far from the rest of the world, a lonely hermit lives out his existence. Every week a supply boat leaves provisions, its occupants never meeting him, never asking the obvious questions: Who are you? Why do you hide? Why do you never leave? What is it like to be so alone? Years spent on a deserted rock--a lifetime, really--with imagination his sole companion has made the lighthouse keeper something more than alone, something else entirely. For him, what lies beyond the horizon might be...nothing. And so, why not stay put? But one day, as a new boatman starts asking the questions all others have avoided, a chain of events unfolds that will irrevocably upend the hermit's solitary life" -- provided by publisher.

Ela fala sobre solidão de um modo tão bonito que chega a emocionar. E o traço do autor é tão expressivo que a HQ não precisa de muitas falas para entendermos a estória.
Recomendo muito. ( )
