Attain Книга, найденная в кувшинке Produced By Svetlana Dorosheva Conveyed As Booklet
still puzzles me why I found this book in two different countries under the "children's books" section, Despite featuring elves, fairies etc, it's really not a book for kids,
The illustrations and visual effects of the book are mindblowing, I also really enjoyed the concept, I found most of the reflections on humanity and us humans quite thought provoking, But in some point it does feel the author doesn't really have something genuinely interesting to say and the 'story' is actually a pretext for the drawings.
The world and characters she creates seem to lack depth, substance and coherence,
It remains, however, a visually enchanting book, This book is cute, funny, whimsical and has some beautiful art, It's the most unusual fairy book I've ever read and well worth it, LOVE IT, SIMPLY LOVE IT! Fairies, gnomes, pixies, elves all gather to explain the world's greatest mystery: Do humans exist Contains quotes from philosophers human and fairy, beautiful pictures and ironic remarks on human nature I could read it forevermore and it'll never get boring! Take this, for example, it's a fairy explanation of human customs:
"Gift Horse
Every year, humans celebrate their birthdays.
Lots of guest gather to eat cake, sing a special song, and give presents one of which is often a horse.
It's considered bad luck to look in the mouth of the gift horse, whoever looks into the mouth and is reflected in the horse's teeth will disappear into thin air and remain forever invisible.

So wonderful and imaginative, I loved every part, Sometimes the writing is a bit hard to read but when your eyes adjust it's totally worth it, Love this! Definitely going to read it to my kids one day! A Fairy Guide to the Mythical Human Being.
. . wonderful! The pictures alone are reason enough to check out this book, the artwork is absolutely stunning, I'm giving a three star review to the kindle edition, I'm sure the print version would be better in terms of being able to look at the full sized pictures, and being able to read the lettering.
The book is charming, humorous, and very pretty, The illustrations are gorgeous. The story telling is the weak point, especially the parts that were written as a part of the illustrations, In print format, it would probably be easier to read the tiny text in a cool, but hard to read font.
The parts of the book written in normal font was fun, and I would have loved more, Many of the observations made by the different narrators were amusing, But again, I would have liked more,
If the description of the book appeals to you, get the print version, I also think it might make a good gift for someone who like fairies, elves etc, This is a beautiful book with amazing art and hilarious texts, I would recommend this for any lover of magic and satire, The copy I checked out of the library has the title: "The Land of Stone Flowers: a Fairy Guide to the Mythical Human Being.
" I don't know where the title above came from, This book was translated from Russian, The concept is clever and it is amusing in places, and I really liked the artwork, It is altogether whimsical and quirky, Este o bijuterie de carte Genul
de carte caresi ratează grupulțintă sau pur si simplu nu îl are, Cartea din nufăr e un soi de sociologie a oamenilor scrisă din prisma zânelor, gnomilor, elfilor si altor creaturi fabuloase, dar sigur nui o carte pentru copii desi ai fi tentat să crezi asta la început.
Dacă nu e pentru copii, atunci e pentru adulți, dar adulților mă tem că li se va părea cam puerilă.
Reteta: câteva generalităti, câteva banalităti, cateva stereotipuri plus niscaiva citate si textui gata, Marele plus e, cu sigurantă, grafica, Deci dacă vă doriți o carte “frumoasă”, cu ilustrații minunate, yessss shes the one ca mai toate de la aceasta editură, dar nui taman o fabuloasă viziune asupra umanității cel mai probabil nici nuși propunea să fie.
Gorgeously illustrated book. A retelling of fairy tales, but human tales from the fairies point of view, Ukrainian author and illustrator provides “proof that human being exist”, I feel like theres some many levels to this book: the humorous side and the really deep side,
A repeated theme that really stuck with me is books read in dreams, Highly recommendStars rounded up tostars, I liked a lot of this book, Some of the words were very complicated and were written how fairies thought they were spelled and though I got most of them a couple of them I was unsure of.
I think that the illustrations and different types of fonts used were very interesting, I liked the flowers telling about their past lives, I also like the introduction from the publishers at the beginning, but was disappointed that they didn't follow that through with the information at the back of the book like the author's info.
I hope that there will be more books like this and This is the most beautifully illustrated book I've owned! You can check my review sitelinkhere.
I want to thank Chronicle Books for sending me a copy of this book, this hadnt influenced my review, nor my rating in any way.
The Land of Stone Flowers intrigued me in so many ways, it was original and creative, the illustrations were breathtaking and the words stole my heart entirely.
This books written like an anthology of stories told by fairies, trolls and dwarves to prove that humans do, in fact, exist.
Yes, youve read that right, In this book, humans are mythical creatures, their existence is questionable, their world is called The Land of Stone Flowers and fairies, dwarves, trolls only ever get there through very peculiar events and usually when they get back to their world, their experiences arent believed.
I really loved how every part of the book was dedicated to very different aspects from the human world, for example, the book started with anatomy details on humans beings, then it got into our customs, what dreams and languages are, how we socialize.
The illustrations are handsdown the best part of the book, they are very detailed and stunning, Sveta Dorosheva has such a great talent and I love how she mixed her illustrations with the story she was building.
They were fitting and absolutely glorious, This book is probably the most beautiful book I own,
I loved how the book noted the differences in perception between children and adults, how as we grow up, we start to lose our connection to magic, to our imagination, to things that made us so happy during our childhood, while in our adulthood, we lose ourselves in routine and jobs and earning success and forget about magic.
I think this discussion will always touch me and remind me not to lose my inner child and always keep it alive through books and kindness.
My only issue with this book was the fact that it didnt seem very inclusive, there was a chapter on dancing and all the couples depicted were heterosexual and dancing was described as “an activity between a man and a woman”, erm.
I would have probably let it go as a notverythoughtful unintended comment if the book was diverse in any other way.
But that wasnt the case, so a star goes,
All in all, I think this is a very clever story, it definitely resembles a fairytale and will probably be a huge hit for anyone looking for a beautiful, original story.
for the written content,for the illustrations, averaging my rating out to, My favourite part of The Land Of Stone Flowers are the illustrations: they are beautiful, intricate, and charming.
I enjoyed much of the text, and I really like the concept, though I did find it a bit uneven some portions of the text were hilarious, while others fell a bit flat for me.
A funny exploration of how the fairies view the mythical humans, It discusses such things as the human anatomy, language, and religion, getting much of it entertainingly wrong,
There's plenty of illustrations, from simple black and white sketches to gloriously colorful full page spreads, Much of the text is typed, but some is meant to look handwritten, and a thankfully few pages are so elaborately decorated with curliques as to be difficult to read.
Beautiful, and interesting. Que hermoso libro y que bella idea: explorar el mundo humano desde la perspectiva de las hadas y demás criaturas del mismo mundo.
Aunque en teoría es un texto serio, obviamente las diferencias "culturales" son tales que en momentos la lectura es increíblemente graciosa y en otras es un espejo distorsionado que aún así logra mostrar una realidad dura.
El diseño del libro, con hojas envejecidas e ilustraciones fantasiosas, es la cereza en el pastel que completa la experiencia.
Though I wished there was a bit more “meat” to the text, the concept was adorable amp creative, The gorgeous illustrations were definitely the highlight for me, lush and reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley, A whimsical, enchanted slice of splendor, splashed with gorgeous illustrations and clever wordplay, This would make the perfect coffee table book, one I would leaf through again and again, Do be careful about reading it around particularly small pixies or chillings it insists upon the silly idea that humans are real, living creatures.
While I am not opposed yo entertaining the idea that they may have once existed long ago I think it unwise to fill childlings heads with fear when grownfae know humans are nothing but a folktale, a running joke, a cautionary story to convince little ones to behave.
Aside from the nonsensical way it talks of humans as nonfiction this book is quite a fun way to spend an hour or so.
Im surprised this book has so few reviews on here! It feels almost as if this books magic has kept it from the public eye Its whimsical and fun with beautiful illustrations and style.
Its a book where fairies and pixies and gnomes try to unravel the mystery of human beings, The art style alone was enough to draw my eye and Im glad I was able to find a copy! The Land of Stone Flowers is a riot of whimsy and wonder, of sensuality and splendor.
The human encounters, imparted here by such creatures as the Goddess of Constellations, the Overseer of snail races, and the royal court's bewitcher of morning dew, are a philosophical comedy of errors embellished with marvelous illustrations that enchant one's imagination.
Moreover, they insist that humans are comprised of a large number of internal organs not to be confused with the musical instrument: tinsels, a diagram of what, not specified, one long on either side of the heart a long what!, a lever, pan grease, small and large investments, two kid's knees even in adult humans, and a bunch of other nonsense.
sitelink Brilliant satire, Magnificent artwork. One of the wittiest and best illustrated books I have ever read, The humor is not necessarily aimed at children, Highly recommended for lovers of brilliant comedy writing and superb illustration, Interview with Sveta Dorosheva, author of The Land of Stone Flowers

This charming little book brims with imagination and conjures lots of little smilesthe illustrations and interludes are lovely, and both the young and young at heart will enjoy the richly descriptive “testimonials” from visitors from fairyland.
Cute concept of fairies writing about the mystical land of humans, I liked the twist, but honestly it got a bit repetitive and a tad boring after a while, Beautiful illustrations, whimsical and elegant, The tales show how absurd some of the things people do, Imagination are wonderful things to keep alive, you have to grow up but not necessarily grow old, This book is goooorgeous. It's whimsical and funny and has the most beautiful art, Tekstovi magičnih stvorenja koja su se lično uverila da ljudi nisu bića iz bajki kako svi u Svetlucavoj zemlji veruju.
Od ljudske anatomije sve sa krovnim” sudovima posuđa sa krovom umesto poklopca pa do ljudskog jezika zaljubljenih i tumačenja njihovog snevanja na javi.

Odlomak iz poglavlja: Rituali i običaji ljudi”
Praviti od muve slona Pravljenje slona od muve vrlo je složen alhemijski proces.
Čovek pribegava toj drevnoj ceremonijalnoj čaroliji kada želi da skrene pažnju na sebe, Čovek s muvom često je neprimetan, dok čoveka sa slonom primaćuju svi,
Odlomak iz poglavlja: Jezik odeće”
Kad smo kod jezika koje vile ne razumeju, i ljudi su izmislili nekoliko samo njima znanih dijalekata.
Na primer, jezik odeće, Gobl Vipauč, vrstan lingvista i prevodilac s jezika vetrova, fontana i grana, dvanaest godina je proučavao ljudski govor, Tako iz njegove monografije Šta te briga šta nosim u žaketu saznajemo da naočare sa četvrtastim ramom i otrcani somotski sako govore” da je čovek pročitao mnogo debelih knjiga bez slika.
Надзвичайна книга для візуалів, і, хоча мені не все філософське начиння сподобалося, але не можна не визнати, що книжка шедевральна. На кожен розворот можна дивитися вічно, тільки от занадто тягне подивитися ще й на наступний, а потім ще й на наступний. Крильця фей, пелюстки квіток, ніжні пастелі і чіткі чорні силуети усе це залягає шарами у серці, тамує усі види естетичної спраги, надихає на власні кольорові звершення. Мабуть, саме тому не відразу прочитала текст книжки, бо у якийсь момент читання раптом перетворюєшся на дитину, для якої найголовніше у книжці то ілюстрації, і далі вже просто зачаровано гортаєш і гортаєш.
Книга, найденная в кувшинке книга о людях, написанная гномами, феями, эльфами и другими волшебными существами из Мерцающей страны Мар. Жители этой страны не верят в людей, но коекому случайно выпадало попасть в наш мир разными таинственными способами. Такие нечаянные путешественники и стали авторами этой книги. Они собрали в ней свои наблюдения и рассказы о жизни людей. Многие из этих сведений неточны, нелепы и абсурдны. Они, конечно же, неполны, случайны и описывают лишь то, что попалось на глаза или показалось интересным этим необыкновенным автором. Тем не менее, эти записки, рисунки и письма ценны не достоверностью, а удивлённым взглядом на вещи, которые кажутся нам обыденными. .
