INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Érase una vez un pequeño oso y un pequeño tigre que vivían allá abajo, a la orilla del río. Justo donde se ve subir el humo, junto al árbol grande. Y además, tenían una barca... La vida de pequeño oso y pequeño tigre experimenta un vuelco cuando, flotando en el río, aparece una caja que viene de Panamá y que huele a plátano. Desde entonces, Panamá se convierte en el país de sus sueños y por eso deciden iniciar un largo viaje para llegar allí. Con una olla roja, una caña de pescar y un patito-tigre de juguete, emprenden un camino en el que conocerán a un ratón de campo, un viejo zorro, una vaca, una corneja, una liebre y un erizo.

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!

Tintín viajará esta vez a la milenaria China. En Shangai descubre el origen de un poderoso veneno que hace enloquecer. Se enfrenta con una terrible banda de traficantes de opio y con unos agentes japoneses que hasta el final del libro mantienen el suspense del lector. Al finalizar Los cigarros del faraón, Hergé había anunciado en Le Petit Vingtième que Tintín iba a proseguir su viaje hacia Extremo Oriente. Entonces recibió una carta del Padre Gosset, capellán de los estudiantes chinos en la Universidad de Lovaina, que le aconsejó documentarse bien sobre China y su cultura y le presentó a Tchang Tchong-Jen, joven chino estudiante de arte en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Lovaina. Enseguida simpatizaron y se hicieron grandes amigos. (Podemos reconocerlo en el personaje Tchang, el chico chino amigo de Tintín).
