It goes forth at night to prowl around the fires. It even likes to mingle with the dancers... Shadow... It waves with the grasses, curls up at the foot of trees...But in the African experience Shadow is much more. The village storytellers and shamans of an Africa that is passing into memory called forth for the poet Blaise Cendrars an eerie image, shifting between the beliefs of the present and the spirits of the past. Shadow... It does not cry out, it has no voice... It can cast a spell over you... It follows man everywhere, even to war...Marcia Brown's stunning illustrations in collage, inspired by her travels in Africa, evoke the atmosphere and drama of a life now haunted, now enchanted by Shadow. The woodblock/paper collage illustrations are both intricate and simple. The mood for the text and illustrations are darker yet still vibrant and bright. Interesting description of what a shadow is-certainly more interesting than the Peter Pan version. This version has life, and is neither dark nor light- it just is-living in its own way. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
