| 商品简介
One fresh and fair summer day, as soon as his parents go out, Gorky sets up his laboratory by the kitchen sink to have another try at concocting a magic potion. This time he strikes upon the missing ingredient-half a bottle of his mother's attar of roses-and he knows it's success at last.
While he is waiting for the bubbly, glinting liquid to show what it can do, he heads over to Elephant Rock, "his best spot for doing nothing." But on the way he stops to bask in the sun, soon falls asleep-and wakes to find himself floating in the immensely blue sky, clutching his bottle of magic. There follows the most astonishing, bewildering, and bedazzling adventure a young frog could possibly have. Orbiting the globe has its ups and downs, however, and Gorky soon begins to wonder if he'll ever get back to earth. He does manage to outwit the magic; but the potion saves a last surprise until Gorky reaches Elephant Rock, just on day later than he had planned. "Gorky Rises" is a 1980 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year, Notable Children's Book of the Year, and Outstanding Book of the Year. 编辑推荐A frog named Gorky makes a strange magical concoction which sendshim on an airborne journey. A great deal of time is spent on theadmirers as he floats through the sky. He then runs into troublewith a thunderstorm, wishes to go home, eventually figures a methodof pulling himself back to Earth (by emptying the magic solutionfrom the bottle one drip at a time). And the last drip in thebottle turns a rock into an elephant. 媒体评论I read this story to my son when he was a little tyke. He's nownearly 20. I haven't read the book in years, yet, lately, I've beenthinking a lot about Gorky and his travels away from home, up intothe "blue, blue sky". Guess it has something to do with my 3 kidsall about ready to take off on their own. The prose is marvelous,full of colorful and descriptive language, the story is beautiful,about the joy and pain of growing up and away, and theillustrations are an added benefit, though unnecessary due to theability of the author to draw wonderful pictures with his magicaluse of the English language. Thank you William Steig! |
