Tempo de voo<br />

Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós. Illustrations<br />

by Alfonso Ruano. Edições SM. 44p.<br />

ISBN 9788560820757<br />

Many philosophers, mathematicians, physicians and poets<br />

have elected time as their research subject. In Tempo de<br />

voo, Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós, award-winning<br />

writer, winner of the IV SM Ibero-American Children<br />

Literature Award and nominated for the 2010 IBBY<br />

Hans Christian Andersen Award, decided also to dedicate<br />

himself to this so enigmatic and not quite concrete<br />

subject: time. It has numerous formats: it is invisible, but has hands, belly, heart and wrinkles.<br />

It is light and untouchable, insomniac and adventurer, fragile and frightening. There are a<br />

number of metaphors used by the author to describe time. The illustrations, by the renowned<br />

Spanish illustrator Alfonso Ruano, inspired in surrealism, follow the same atmosphere of the<br />

text. They send the reader to a fantastic and oniric world.<br />

Três histórias fantásticas<br />

36 Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil - <strong>FNLIJ</strong><br />

Luiz Vilela. Illustrations by César Landucci. Scipione. 61p.<br />

ISBN 9788526272101<br />

This book puts together three fantastic tales. An young boy,<br />

searching for his own identity, has a relation worthy of Narcissus<br />

with the mirror in his bedroom, but the face he sees reflected there<br />

changes all the time in Imagem. In O buraco, the protagonist<br />

starts, during his childhood, digging in his backyard a hole that<br />

will swallow his humanity. Phantom is about a guest from a house<br />

known as hunted house that decides to chat with the friendly<br />

ghost that appeared to him at a meeting that turns inside out the<br />

logic of terror.<br />

Vários mundos: Burle Marx além das paisagens<br />

Paula Browne. Rocco. 223p. ISBN 9788561384531<br />

This novel was written by the famous Brazilian paisagist’s<br />

grandniece in the year when his birth centenary is celebrated.<br />

Using fiction and having familiar souvenirs as the base of the<br />

story, besides an extensive historical research the author talks<br />

about Burle Marx’s life and work through the eyes of Violeta<br />

a fifteen-years-old protagonist of this invitation to “different<br />

worlds” through the perspective of art.
