Gianni Rodari

    23 oktober 1920 – 14 april 1980

    Deze Italiaanse journalist en schrijver is vooral bekend om zijn kinderboeken, die in talen zijn vertaald, maar in de Engelstalige wereld minder bekend zijn. Zijn werken kenmerken zich door speelsheid, fantasie en een diepe waardering voor de kracht van woorden. De auteur verweeft meesterlijk humor met subtiele maatschappelijke kritiek, waarbij hij creativiteit en leesplezier bij jonge lezers stimuleert. Zijn unieke stijl en benadering van kinderliteratuur maken hem tot een onvergetelijke verteller.

It was a poem about our shared humanity – the poem reminding us that, no matter where we're from, or where we live, we all exist under the same moon. In the days following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, these lyrical words went viral in Italy: they became a call for peace. Six decades later, they resonate, and feel more relevant, than ever before.Now, for the very first time, the poem has been illustrated by the incredible Beatrice Alemagna, whose beautiful pictures match Rodari’s words in hope, purity and power.

      Das Gedicht „Hoffnung“ („Speranza“) ist einer der schönsten und tiefgründigsten Texte aus der Sammlung „Filastrocche in cielo e in terra“ („Gedichte zwischen Himmel und Erde“, erstmals erschienen 1960). In den deprimierend langen und einschneidenden Beschränkungen der Pandemie ist das Hoffen und das einander zugewandt Bleiben zur existenziell wichtigen Überlebensgrundlage geworden. Genau das – Zusammenhalt und ein gemeinsamer hoffnungsvoller Blick in die Zukunft – wird in Gianni Rodaris berühmtem Gedicht und den kraftvollen und leuchtenden Illustrationen von Francesca Ballarini spürbar.
