OverviewPublishers Weekly Best of the Year BookPage Best of the Year Al comienzo de todo, los viejos nos cuentan, el cosmos estaba callado y quieto. Solo la luna brillaba redonda en la vasta y estrellada oscuridad del cielo. David �lvarez es uno de los artistas m�s extraordinarios de la actualidad. Sus ilustraciones en blanco y negro le han ganado fama en su pa�s de origen, M�xico, y en todo el mundo. Ahora, con Noche antigua, David muestra por primera vez su inmenso talento con ilustraciones a todo color. Noche antigua es un giro en dos tradiciones ind�genas: el conejo que la Serpiente Emplumada Quetzalc�atl coloc� en la luna, y Yaushu, el Se�or Tlacuache que gobern� la tierra antes de que dominaran los humanos, y que rob� el fuego de los dioses para dar calor a sus s�bditos. El galardonado autor David Bowles ha escrito un texto po�tico --y un ap�ndice cuidosamente investigado-- para acompa�ar las ilustraciones e historia opulentas de �lvarez. El libro se publicar� simult�neamente en ingl�s y espa�ol, brindando a los j�venes lectores de todo el mundo la oportunidad de saborear este antiguo cuento en el formato m�s bello posible. At the start of things, the elders say, the universe was hushed and still. The moon alone shone bright and round in the star-speckled dark of the sky. David �lvarez is one of the most extraordinary artists working today. His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world. Here, in Noche antigua (Ancient Night) David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time. Noche antigua (Ancient Night) is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun. Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text - and carefully researched backmatter - to accompany David's lush illustrations and story. The book will be published simultaneously in English and Spanish editions, giving young readers everywhere the chance to savor this ancient tale in its most beautiful format possible.
