New Releases by Shaun Tan

A new edition with bonus material from the author to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this important book about feelings that cannot be easily expressed in words. A small child awakes to find blackened leaves falling from her bedroom ceiling, threatening to quietly overwhelm her. 'Sometimes you wake up with nothing to look forward to ...' As she wanders around a world that is complex, puzzling and alienating, she is overtaken by a myriad of feelings. Just as it seems all hope is lost, the girl returns to her bedroom to find that a tiny red seedling has grown to fill the room with warm light. Astonishing Perth artist Shaun Tan's The Red Tree is a book about feelings - feelings that cannot always be simply expressed in words. It is a series of imaginary landscapes conjured up by the wizardry of Shaun Tan's masterful and miraculous art. As a kind of fable, The Red Tree seeks to remind us that, though some bad feelings are inevitable, they are always tempered by hope. NOW WITH AN ADDITIONAL FOREWORD AND NEW ILLUSTRATIONS FROM SHAUN TAN.

Featuring stunning new covers, Shaun Tan''s exquisite illustrated short story collections, Tales from Outer Suburbia and Tales from the Inner City, beautifully packaged in a slipcase edition. Perfect for Shaun Tan fans of all ages.

From the creator of THE ARRIVAL, a collection of essays illuminating his thoughts and advice for writers and artists, young and old. Shaun Tan is one of the world's most highly acclaimed narrative artists—his stories and images are loved by countless young and not-so-young readers around the world. Drawing upon 25 years as a picture book and comics creator, painter, and filmmaker, CREATURE explores the central obsession of this visionary artist, from casual doodles to studied oil-paintings. Beyond sketches for acclaimed works such as THE ARRIVAL, THE LOST THING, and TALES FROM OUTER SUBURBIA, this volume collects together for the first time unseen and stand-alone illustrations, each resonant with unwritten tales of their own. Detailed commentary by the artist offers an entertaining insight into the endless allure of imaginary, non-human beings and what they might tell us about our so-called "normal" human selves. Artists, writers, students, dreamers, and anyone interested in the deeper undercurrents of creativity, myth, and visual metaphor will find inspiration in these pages.

"A beautifully poignant gift book exploring the relationship between man and man's best friend, from the masterful Shaun Tan. "One day I threw my stick at you. You brought it back. Then we were walking side by side as if it had always been this way." World-renowned artist and storyteller Shaun Tan reflects on the nature of humans and animals in this exquisitely illustrated fable about owner and Dog. A perfect little gift book from an extraordinary talent."--Publisher.

Eric is effortlessly charming and eternally curious - a house guest whose approach to the world will capture your heart. This is a stand-alone picture book of one of the most loved stories from Shaun Tan's bestselling, internationally acclaimed collection of illustrated short stories, Tales from Outer Suburbia.

"Cicada tell story. Story good. Story simple. Story even human can understand. Tok Tok Tok!"--Book jacket.

A unique and beautiful book for kids and adults that combines short stories and poetry with surrealist art -- a return to the form that made Shaun Tan a visionary in the world of graphic novels. A young girl's cat brightens the lives of everyone in the neighborhood. A woman and her dog are separated by time and space, awaiting the day they will be reunited. A race of fish build a society parallel to our own. And a bunch of office managers suddenly turn into frogs, but find that their new lives aren't so bad. The ambitious, unique and provocative Tales From the Inner City draws on the success of Shaun Tan's The Arrival and Tales From Outer Suburbia and updates its sensibilities for a new generation. Combining his poignant and sensitive short stories with surreal, luminous paintings, Tan turns his astute lens on the environment, cities, family and the relationships between human and animals. This work opens a portal to the imagination and captures the beauty, joy and tragedy in the everyday lives of kids, teens and adults.

Una bambina si sveglia e, desolata, guarda le foglioline dall'autunno che sono entrate nella sua cameretta. Il giorno è iniziato e sembra che non ci sia nulla da aspettarsi. La ragazzina, allora, esce a fare una passeggiata alla ricerca di qualcosa: un pesce gigante vola basso tra i palazzi, appena sopra la sua testa, facendole ombra, mentre nessuno, in giro, sembra accorgersi di lei. L'albero rosso racconta il vuoto, la malinconia e la paura del mondo, come l'attimo inspiegabile in cui la speranza fa capolino nelle nostre vite restituendoci a noi stessi. (fonte: tunue.com).

»Nie die Regeln verletzen. Schon gar nicht, wenn du sie nicht verstehst.« Niemand weiß, woher diese Regeln kommen und wer sie sich ausgedacht hat. Sie sind einfach da und bestimmen unser Leben: als Geschwister, als Freunde, als Wegbegleiter. Shaun Tan erzählt von einem Sommer, in dem die Rivalitäten zweier Brüder immer bedrohlicher werden. Bis sie beschließen, dass ihre Liebe füreinander wichtiger ist als alle Regeln.

Combining humour and surreal fantasy, Shaun Tan pictures a summer in the lives of two boys. Each spread tells of an event and the lesson learned. By turns, these events become darker and more sinister as the boys push their games further and further. Other titles by Astrid Lindgren and Academy Award winner, Shaun Tan include: The Red Tree, The Lost Thing, Tales from Outer Suburbia and the acclaimed wordless novel The Arrival.

Een jongen (ik-figuur) vindt een eigenaardig ding. Het is van niemand. Van zijn ouders mag hij het thuis niet houden, dus gaat de jongen op zoek naar een onderkomen voor het ding. Prentenboek met absurdistische, kunstzinnige collages. Vanaf ca. 5 jaar.

« Les oeuvres rassemblées dans ce recueil représentent un échantillon de mon travail au cours de ces douze dernières années, allant de dessins très détaillés à de simples griffonnages. En procédant à leur sélection, j’ai choisi de montrer un éventail de mes centres d’intérêts : non seulement mon penchant habituel pour les mondes et les créatures imaginaires, mais aussi les croquis sur le vif d’individus, d’animaux et de paysages qui forment l’ossature invisible de tous mes autres travaux. J’ai voulu également mettre en évidence l’espèce de spontanéité que l’on ne retrouve plus dans les oeuvres achevées ».
