[ 책 소개 ]
Caldecott 수상작가인 David Macaulay의 작품입니다. Large Size의 책을 열면 현대도시의 번잡함 속에서 2천여년된 로마의 찬란한 유적들이 빛을 발하고 있는 놀라운 풍경들이 펼쳐집니다. 잘 훈련된 비둘기 한 마리가 메시지가 적힌 메모지를 다리에 묵고 로마 시내의 여러 곳을 거쳐 마침내 목적지에 도착합니다. 비둘기의 시각으로 본 로마의 모습, 즉 하늘에서 내려 보거나 밑에서 올려보는 로마의 풍경이 새로운 각도로 묘사되며, 제 3자의 시각으로 본 비둘기의 궤적은 빨간 선으로 보여줍니다.

Book Description
A pigeon carrying an important message takes the reader on a unique tour through Rome. As we follow the path of this somewhat wayward bird, we discover that Rome is a place where past and present live side by side. It is a city that has been recycling itself for two thousand years, but unlike a museum, Rome displays its remarkable history without respect for chronology. A new electric bus travels over cobblestone streets just ten feet above the floor of an ancient stadium. Inscriptions from tombs and temples share wall space with neon. Every time a corner is turned there is a surprise, just as every turn of the page brings a new perspective. This juxtaposition of ancient and modern, as seen with David Macaulay's ingenious vision, gives the reader an imaginative and informative journey through this wondrous city.
Children's Literature
As its punny title hints, David Macaulay's Rome Antics is a somewhat witty indulgence best appreciated by his adult fans. The author/artist's varied perspectives of Rome illustrate a spare, thinly-stretched tale of a homing pigeon who, upon reaching the outskirts of Rome, opts for the scenic route through the city to deliver the love note it carries. The bird's erratic path, depicted as a bright red line across black and white drawings in Macaulay's signature style, flows in and around ancient ruins and contemporary, car-filled streets. Before reaching its destination-an artist at work on the last spread of this tale-the pigeon has swooped under the Arch of Constantine, been bumped by a basketball near the church of Santa Maria della Pace, descended through the Pantheon's holey roof, flown in circles simulating scrolls, and been startled by a dust mop thrust through the window of the House of Lorenzo Manilo. Brief descriptions of the sites observed by the avian messenger add substance to this view of a restive roam in Rome.
School Library Journal
Macaulay's trademark bird's-eye views of famous works of architecture become in this book the literal substance of the text. Modern Rome is seen through the skewed perspective of a homing pigeon's erratic flight through the city streets as she delivers a message to an artist in a garret. Darting and swooping above rooftops and into alleyways, the bird takes readers on a haphazard tour as it catches an overhead view of the Colosseum, sees churches aslant and turned upside down, sails into the sky above a piazza, and makes brief forays down cobbled streets to search for crumbs. Macaulay adds sly touches of humor to the pen-and-ink sketches, as voracious cats eye the pigeon and people pursue their chores and pleasures, oblivious of the bird's flight, which is indicated by a thin red line. The famous landmarks are here, perhaps seen only as a piece of a cornice, the columns of a structure, or a section of an ancient wall. The book includes a map of the city "As the pigeon flies" with each structure numbered, and an addendum shows the 22 featured buildings with a paragraph or two of interesting facts about each one. As a guidebook to modern Rome, Macaulay's sketchbook is unconventional and too sophisticated for young children, but for those with a knowledge of, or a yearning to see one of the great cities of the world, it is full of informative details and amusing incidents.
Kirkus Reviews
In another of his explorations of the traversal between A and B (Shortcut, 1995, and a detour: Why the Chicken Crossed the Road, 1987), Macaulay takes the scenic route and concludes, perhaps, that all roads really do lead to Rome. This bird's-eye view of a grand city's architecture begins when a maiden ties a message onto the leg of a homing pigeon. Before readers can say S.P.Q.R., the pigeon has made the unusual decision of abstaining from the shortest path between two points in favor of a whirling flight through Rome. Macaulay has created a pen-and-ink sketchbook of ancient buildings in the modern city, stringing together black-and-white drawings of landmarks with the thinnest of red lines (to indicate the pigeon's flight). Along with labeled monuments are more mundane sightings: On the street, a dog drinks from a fire hydrant while conversations take place in cafes and on cell phones. The views of Rome are so encompassing that by the time the pigeon delivers its message to a draughtsman hunched over a drawing, readers have almost forgotten the bird's errand. "Yes" is the answer to an unstated question that hangs, tantalizingly, in the air. An aerial map of Rome ("not to scale") and brief, conversational descriptions recap the highlights of the pigeon's trip. In it, Macaulay confirms that his is not a profession, nor an obsession, but a love affair of sketching and architecture.
The New York Times Book Review
Many of the drawings are cinematic in their vigor. Macaulay zooms in and out, taking us suddenly from a distant vantage to an eye-popping close-up, often at a dizzying angle. The sense of panorama is heightened by the sheer size of the illustrations. (All ages)
Review
"Macaulay's latest celebration of architecture delights in showing how past and present coexist in this ancient city. . . . A visual love letter to the city of Rome. A natural choice for classroom use and a terrific way to whet readers' appetites for Macaulay's earlier titles, such as CITY."
Ingram
As readers follow the path of a pigeon carrying an important message through the streets of Rome, they discover a fascinating city that has been recycling itself for more than 2,000 years. This juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern, as seen with Macaulay's ingenious vision, provides an imaginative and informative journey through this most wonderful of cities. |
