Every time I write about a book that I read when I was a child I want to say “my favourite”. But Drogman has a special place in my heart. The story is magical. Its romantic, with scar…

Ya lo he dicho alguna vez antes: pareciera que, de cuando en cuando, Dios reparte el talento con cucharón, en vez de cuchara, y así nos encontramos con que, en un mismo país, tenemos a dos genios: Miroslav Sasek, de quien hablamos hace tiempo, y Štěpán Zavřel (Checoslovaquia, 1932-1999), pintor, artista gráfico, escritor, director artístico de dibujos animados e ilustrador de libros infantiles. Este artista, uno de los más influyentes dentro del campo de la ilustración infantil del s.

Podría decirles muchas cosas, pero prefiero que vean su trabajo. Que lo vean usando todos los sentidos; porque su arte se escucha, se siente, se respira. Para enamorarse.

There is a very long and rich Czech tradition of children’s book illustration – from Mikoláš Aleš in the 19th century to Zdeněk Miler (of Mole fame) and Jiří Trnka in the twentieth century. In fact, the first picture book for children in Europe was produced by the Czech educator Comenius in the 17th century. An important part of this tradition is the illustrator Štěpán Zavřel (b.1932), a charismatic…

If ever there was a book for our times it is this one: 'The City of Flowers' written by Eveline Hasler and illustrated by Štěpán Zavřel (1932-1999) originally published in 1987. Republished in 2016 by Bohem Press Italy Once upon a time, there was a city, whose inhabitants loved flowers very much and cultivated them everywhere. People knew how to enjoy small things and how to overcome difficulties by appreciating nature and the beauty around themselves. However one day a mayor convinces them that this was a great waste of time and ordered the removal of all the plants and even the butterflies to the cemetery of dreams. The city then became gray and sad. But one day, two children discovered the secret garden where all the plants had been hidden. The children, with the help of a thunderstorm release the flowers and butterflies. With flowers and butterflies, the colors and the joy returns to the city and everyone's hearts. The children had been brave and observant enough to see what was missing from everyone's lives and had restored the balance.
