Description du livre Etat : Sehr gut. Bloom, Lloyd (illustrateur). First Edition,. 16 Blatt, farbige Abbildungen, Zeichnungen Zustand: geringe Gebrauchs- u. Lagerspuren, sehr gutes Exemplar. Text / Sprache: Englisch , The Goatherd and the Shepherdess : A Tale from Ancient Greece. The Goatherd and the Shepherdess is the retelling of a Greek legend that begins with the birth and discovery of a baby girl found abandoned in a cave, then adopted by loving parents who name her Cloe. The story progresses through her friendship with a goatherd boy named Daphnis, also an orphan foundling. The girl, now a shepherdess, is nearly inseparable from her friend the goatherd. As the seasons change and the countryside blossoms, so does their friendship grow into a lifelong love. The lush greens and blues in the paintings evoke a magical, mystical island. Excitement comes in the way of vicious pirates wreaking havoc on the community of herdspeople, and a young cowherd (also vying for the attention of Cloe) who gives his life for the sake of his friends' survival. Complemented by spectacular paintings capturing the style of classic Greek sculpture, a retelling of the ancient Greek folktale of Daphnis and Chloe portrays the nobility of friendship, love, and bravery between Daphnis, Chloe, and their friend Dorcon. 17855A ISBN 0803713533 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 530 29 cm, gebundene Ausgabe, Hardcover/Pappeinband, N° de réf. du vendeur 47476
