[ 책 소개 ]
'The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses' 로 Caldecott Medal을 수상한 Paul Goble의 작품이며, 죽음에 관한 인디언 전래동화를 아름다운 글과 그림으로 보여줍니다.
죽음 이후의 세상은 모든 것이 바뀌어 있을 겁니다. 나이든 인디언 여인이 오래전에 죽은 어머니의 부름을 받고 "산등성이"를 넘어 사후의 세계로 들어가게 됩니다. 가파른 산을 넘은 후 도착한 그곳은 지상의 아름다움과는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 황홀한 곳이었습니다. 한편 천막집 안에서 여인이 죽은 사실을 알게 된 남은 가족들은 여인의 장례식을 준비하기 시작합니다...
경건하지만 관대한 마음으로 죽음을 받아들이는 아메리카 인디언들의 전통적인 모습을 볼 수 있으며, 화려한 플로라 꽃과 동물들 그리고 인디언들의 전통 복식이 각 장면마다 펼쳐집니다.

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Annotation
At her death an elderly Plains Indian woman experiences the afterlife believed in by her people, while the surviving family members prepare her body according to their custom.
Publisher's Weekly
There is no death; only a change of worlds--Goble delivers these reassurances to readers in his latest book, once more based on the customs of the Plains Indian people. The book reads like a prayer, expressing specific beliefs about dying as well as the story of a woman who is called by her long-dead mother to go ``beyond the ridge.'' The world she discovers--after a steep climb--is abundantly beautiful, and there she finds the familiar faces of people who have passed that way before her. Meanwhile, in her tepee, her loved ones recognize that she is dead, and give her a ceremonial burial. Graceful illustrations, displaying colorful beadwork on clothing and bountiful flora and fauna in each scene, further illuminate the words. The characters move elegantly through the rites, while the text whispers the meaning of symbols. A generous, encompassing view of death and dying, Goble's work is one of resonant tranquility. All ages. (Feb.)
School Library Journal
Once again Goble has created a stunning picture book interpretation of an aspect of Plains Indian tradition. The story at the heart of this book is the death of an old woman and her subsequent spirit journey. Once she is safely ``beyond the ridge'' the story focuses on the woman's family and how ritual helps them mourn and then accept her passing. The art work is Goble at his best. Clear colors and meticulous details make his paintings come alive. Clouds break like waves across the expanses of sky. The Great Plains shimmer with changing light, and there is a pervading sense of the unity of all creation. The story is bracketed by several passages in italics on life and death written by traditional native Americans. Attributions are made only in small print on the back of the title page, and so the individual voices seem to merge with the voice of the storyteller. Unfortunately, these sections are too repetitive to read out loud in one sitting; a wise librarian will be selective in reading these passages. Nonetheless, this book is a wonderful acquisition. Goble's portrayal of native American beliefs is accurate and respectful. And the universal wisdom the book contains will give comfort and insight on a subject that troubles readers of all ages. --Carolyn Polese, Gateway Community School, Arcata, Calif. |
