Description
★Nominated Golden Pear Award!
A man and a boy say their goodbyes in the port, and the boat sails away, but not everything goes according to plan. Soon, enormous waves rise, and the tentacles of a giant squid reach out ... Is a safe return to the home port even possible?
The master illustrator Damijan Stepančič has once again created a wordless picture book. His narrative is now focused on the lighthouse and the sea. The lavish illustrations are filled with suggestions for interpretation (such as coats of arms and other details), especially animal symbols, and Stepančič proves to be a fine dramaturge – the suspense builds up gradually; one dynamic, dramatic scene comes after another, and a mysteriousness characteristic of the sea pervades the work as a whole.
That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing
