Robinson

In his latest book for young children, Petr Sís weaves together the legendary story of Robinson Crusoe with an experience from his own childhood. After one school masquerade ball, the hero finds himself on a deserted tropical island, which becomes his new home. In the middle of exotic nature, he learns how to find food, build a shelter and procure everything necessary for life. The author created a poetic and colorful tribute to classic adventure novels and the liberated color of European Fauvism. The beautifully illustrated story explores the true value of self-reliance, solitude and friendship.
