    Book summary:

    An evocative parable, The Giving Tree-the story of a lifelong relationship between a boy and the tree who happily responds to the boy's every need -is retold in Latin in Arbor alma. This edition features the original artwork of Shel Silverstein and a translation in a style that echoes the spirit of The Giving Tree.

    The Giving Tree is Shel Silverstein's simple yet profound telling of a lifelong relationship between a boy and a nurturing tree. The boy becomes an old man, and, from branches to trunk, diminishes the tree's stature with his requests-or does he? This tender tale has invited generations of readers, young and old, to ponder what it means to give and what, to receive.

    The Giving Tree is here rendered in exquisite Latin, a language whose own simple grandeur complements that of Silverstein's original story and illustrations. Arbor Alma adds one more dimension to this multifaceted classic. This Latin-language edition is a welcome, all-occasion gift, a delightful way to revisit a treasured tale, and an enjoyable way to refresh your high school Latin.

    *originally published in English by HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 1964.

    Book summary:

    C'mon! Try them, in Latin. Sam-I-am's smiling enthusiasm for the seemingly unappetizingly tinted green eggs and ham is undaunted, despite repeated disdain shown by an unnamed, dour disparager. Sam will not give up, though, and offers the dish over and over, proposing that it be sampled under sometimes whacky circumstances and in odd locales (with a goat, on a boat, in the rain, on a train, in a box, with a fox, etc.). In the end Sam does get the grumpy disparager to take a taste- only to get Sam off his back. The disparager's demeanor quickly changes to all smiles when he discovers to his surprise that disdained green eggs and ham are, in fact, quite tasty. Sam-I-am, yet another delightfully plucky Seuss protagonist, allows both adults and humans to look - -with the objectivity humor so adeptly affords - at our all-too-human tendency towards knee-jerk negativity in response to anything that is new or different. Special Features Dr. Seuss' perennial favorite, Green Eggs and Ham, is here rendered in spirited Latin: in trochaic rhythm with rhyme in the last two syllables, a sprightly verse-form that goes toe-to-toe with Seuss's whimsical drawings. Virent Ova! Viret Perna!! is a true delight - Latin as it is infrequently experienced: fun, exhilarating, ebullient. This Latin-language edition is a welcome, all-occasion gift, a delightful way to revisit a treasured tale, and an enjoyable way to refresh your high school Latin. Fast-moving Latin translation that echoes the lighthearted spirit of the original Original artwork of Dr. Seuss Latin-to-English vocabulary Note on 'How to Read these Verses'

    Book summary:

    Métaphore de l'existence par les simples figures de l'arbre et de l'homme, L'Arbre généreux est l'histoire "d'un arbre qui aimait un petit garçon". Le petit garçon devient jeune homme, le jeune homme un adulte, l'adulte un vieillard. À chaque étape de son existence, l'homme trouve auprès de l'arbre le réconfort nécessaire lui permettant de poursuivre sa quête sur le chemin de la vie.

    L'illustration pleine page monochrome joue de la disproportion de l'arbre et de l'enfant. Le trait discret de Silverstein, auteur et illustrateur américain, peut rappeler celui d'un Sempé ou d'un Piem. Quelques traits de plume suffisent à faire surgir sur la page l'intensité de la relation d'intimité entre le jeune garçon et l'arbre. Dans ce face-à-face, l'arbre est rendu aussi expressif que l'enfant. De fait, le lien qui unit l'enfant à l'arbre est profond, c'est-à-dire que cet attachement n'est pas seulement sensible, il est aussi le lieu d'une interrogation sur notre sort car l'arbre ne peut donner à l'homme que ce qu'il a. En retour, ce qui fait la grandeur de l'homme, c'est précisément la prise de conscience de cette richesse. Une très beau conte d'essence philosophique pour tous les publics. À partir de 5 ans. --Denis Gombert [via]
