The Tree and the River

內容簡介

內容簡介 榮獲 2024 英國卡內基獎插畫獎凱迪克得獎大師 Aaron Becker無字，史詩級的縮時攝影繪畫，對自然與人類的關係省思有一棵樹，靜靜地躺在河流中央，伴著幾隻鹿在河邊小心翼翼地喝水。有個家庭在這個肥沃的土地耕種。接著，土地上蓋起一間小木屋，又一間小木屋，形成一個村莊。小村莊變成大村莊，村莊築起了圍牆，造了橋。居民學習利用水、風和動物來生存和繁榮，人民勤奮工作，也將目標放向挑戰大自然：改變河流方向，砍伐木材，土地重塑，甚至想要延長日照時間…這片土地逐漸發展成霓虹閃爍的工業不夜城，煙霧和灰燼占滿城市。最後，河流和鄉村都因污染和過度使用而被摧毀…。所幸，古樹上仍然有一個橡子掉到地上，重新開始。安安靜靜的樹與河，承載著時間的流動與變遷。無字的《The Tree and the River》彷彿是一部史詩級的縮時攝影繪畫，對自然與人類這兩種強大力量關係，進行發人深省的思考。A spectacular time-lapse portrait of humankind--and our impact on the natural world--from a Caldecott Honor-winning master of the wordless form In an alternate past--or possible future--a mighty tree stands on the banks of a winding river, bearing silent witness to the flow of time and change. A family farms the fertile valley. Soon, a village sprouts, and not long after, a town. Residents learn to harness the water, the wind, and the animals in order to survive and thrive. The growing population becomes ever more industrious and clever, bending nature itself to their will and their ambition: redirecting rivers, harvesting lumber, reshaping the land, even extending daylight itself. . . . The Tree and the River is an epic time-lapse reimagining of human civilization from a master of the wordless form, and a thought-provoking meditation on the relationship between two mighty forces: nature and humankind.

作者介紹

作者介紹 Aaron BeckerAaron Becker is the best-selling author of the award-winning Journey trilogy, along with several other books for children young and old. His love of travel led him to the city of Granada, Spain, where a rich history of layered civilizations inspired him to write The Tree and the River. To prepare for the story’s illustrations, he first constructed a scale model of the book’s rolling landscape, which he then slowly transformed with clay and wood over many months. When he’s not home with his wife and two daughters, Aaron Becker can be found creating something new in his studio in western Massachusetts.
