Description
Summary:A review of Bruno. A Boy Who Learned How to Fly [Bruno. Chłopiec, który nauczył się latać] (2012), written by Nadia Terranova and illustrated by Ofra Amit. The Polish translation from Italian by Janina Wajs was published by Wydawnictwo Format in 2016. It is an artistic picture book addressing a difficult and complex topic. The heterointradiegetic narrator tells the story of Bruno Schulz’s life, in which the laconic verbal message is completed by metaphorical images. The review analyzes the tripartite plot of the book and stresses the synergy of the verbal and the visual. Bruno. A Boy Who Learned How to Fly is an intriguing intertextual and intervisual game with the work of Schulz, and as such it will make a good read both for children and for adults.
