Sinossi
"Una struggente e tenerissima storia di formazione."
ttL - La Stampa
"Una di quelle opere che sembrano sfidare ogni genere di classificazione, irriverenti e riverenti, semplici e sofisticate."
Publishers Weekly
Un albero si innamora di un bambino. Un bambino si innamora di un albero. L’albero gli regala i suoi frutti. Il bambino gioca con le sue fronde. L’albero lo ripara alla sua ombra. Il bambino cresce, diventa sempre più esigente. L’albero invece è sempre lì, immutabile e disponibile. Felicità, Tristezza, Amore avrebbero potuto essere sentimenti vissuti allo stesso modo da un uomo e da un albero, poiché entrambi sono parte della natura. Ma gli equilibri sono stati alterati e l’amore incondizionato, la capacità di donare e di accettare l’altro sono rimaste prerogative di pochi: dei veri eroi del nostro tempo.
Shel Silverstein, definito dal New York Times"‘un autentico genio", è stato poeta, vignettista, musicista, autore di canzoni e di libri per bambini. I suoi lavori, a distanza di più di cinquant’anni, continuano a incantare il pubblico di tutto il mondo.

I recently read this book to my little boy. It's not the first time I've read it. It's probably not even the tenth time. But it's the first time I've read the book in a decade, and given the fact that my memory is like a cheese grater, I like to think I got a pretty fresh experience. The result is t Leggi tutto
I know that many people have a sentimental love for this book, and I respect that -- you can't rationalize emotional connection. And generally, I like this author. But with this book, since it inspired no real emotional response in me, I am left with only the rational perspective, which in me was th Leggi tutto
Co-dependent tree needs to set some fucking boundaries.
Scrolling down, it seems several reviewers resent this book's apparently heavy-handed message about selfishness/selflessness. I can totally understand why they find it upsetting or sappy. Overbearing, even. But I don't agree. Some fascinating theories have been put forth about The Giving Tree. It's d Leggi tutto
