readVisually beautiful bookeven front and back inside covers display Hindu or Nepali imagery, As whole, the book is kind of a mishmash of pieces with narrative and illustrations running a bit disconnectedly, Maybe watch thefilm Himalaya for a better flow of the drama according to the fly leaf, the film was derivative from the book.
In a remote village, high in the Himalayas, Tsering waits impatiently for the return of the salt caravan that his father led into the central valleys of Nepal.
But when the yaks finally appear in a cloud of dust, Tsering can scarcely believe his eyes, Draped across one of the animals is the lifeless body of his father, Tserings grandfather, Tinle, blames Karma, his sons best friend for the death, "You want to be the new chief, You killed my son on purpose!" Even though Tsering
is too young to succeed his father as chief, his grandfather refuses to let Karma take over.
When Karma embarks on the next caravan ahead of the day decreed by the wise lamas, Tinle is furious, He will lead the village elders on another caravan himself with the help of his young grandson, At the last minute they are joined by Tinles remaining son, the Buddhist monk, Norbu,
This story tells how the larger than life Tinle battles age, the elements and his own terrible temper to help his people and train his grandson to be the new chief of the Dolpopo.
Hermosa estética y hermoso relato,for the text
orfor the art
The text doesn't flow smoothly, and there should have been more about daily life in the little village.
This would have benefitted from more editorial input, Or perhaps it's a translation issue Or is it another example of a screenplay that didn't transfer well into book form
But I love the art!! Each page is worth studying.
The style and color palette emphasize that this story takes place in another culture and another time, My Son loves this book ! A sobering tale of facing and overcoming adversity, It is truly a beautiful book, from the storytelling to the text to the beautiful writing Nepalese on the edges,
