Sinossi
Dopo essere sfuggiti dalla loro casa Sotto il pavimento, che l’acchiapparatti aveva affumicato credendoli topi («Topi vestiti!» aveva strillato la domestica), gli Sgraffìgnoli – inquietanti piccoli esseri che passano la vita sgraffignolando, o, come dicono loro, ‘prendendo in prestito’ dagli uomini gli oggetti necessari alla vita quotidiana – si trovano improvvisamente davanti allo spettacolo della natura, all’erba per loro alta come un albero, alle bacche grosse come cocomeri, agli uccelli pericolosi come draghi. È una vita pericolosa, scomoda, dura, ma per Arietta, che si è sempre sentita soffocare al buio e al chiuso, è la libertà. Quando tutto sembra felicemente risolto sarà sempre Arietta, l’«innamorata degli umani», a non accontentarsi di una vita monotona e meschina, e a intrecciare una nuova, fiduciosa amicizia con un essere enorme, un gigante, un vero ragazzo. «Cosa sarei io, oggi, se non avessi conosciuto gli Sgraffìgnoli?» Beatrice Solinas Donghi

“It's so awful and sad,” she once admitted to Tom Goodenough, “to belong to a race that no sane person believes in.” Arrietty and her family of Borrowers have escaped from their cozy home and are now afield. They find a temporary shelter inside an old booth, and spend some weeks in the wilderness. T Leggi tutto
It's too bad that this series of books about little people is in such danger of being dismissed as a cute or trite children's fairy story. They certainly shouldn't be described in that way. Once you can suspend your disbelief in the existence of small people living in and amongst normal humans, the
It had been a year since Mrs. May told young Kate the story of the borrowers. Since that time, Kate had completely pushed their memory to the farthest corner of her mind until one early spring day when Mrs. May slipped her a letter and said, “This will interest you, Kate, I think.” And indeed it had Leggi tutto
Jestem trochę rozczarowana. W porównaniu z pierwszą częścią ta wypada dość słabo. Język i styl Norton w parze z umiejętnością tworzenia przytulnego klimaciku nie zawodzą, ale fabuła już tak. W książce mało co się dzieje. Można powiedzieć, że jedynie początek i koniec jest ciekawy, a środek - choć dł Leggi tutto
I love the way these books have such an awareness of unreliable narrators, and of oral stories, for all that they're written down. First of all The Boy through Mrs May through Kate, and then Arriety through Tom Goodenough through Kate... There's so much uncertainty about whether it is or isn't a sto Leggi tutto
Loved book 2 more then book 1 so that was a plus! Great way of telling a story and mind really was seeing everything happening. I had so much fun reading this book!
I love seeing how the Borrowers survive in the wild, fighting off insects, gathering nuts and berries, and finding shelter in an old boot. The plot in this book has so many interesting little twists and turns, as the Clock family meet Spiller, a Borrower who lives in the fields and hedges. They are s Leggi tutto
In the second book of The Borrowers series, Pod, Homily and Arrietty are on the run after escaping from the terrible Mrs Driver and the ferret. No long able to live snugly beneath the kitchen in the big house, they are forced to run, hide from field mice and insects, and sleep in ditches. Finally the Leggi tutto
