Abstract
-
en_US
Here is the German version of the 1995 “Donkey Trouble” by Simon and Schuster. This was one of those rewarding finds for getting on the ground behind a table and sorting through a shelf of books. It was the last thing I found in Berlin. The sequence of illustrations is the same as in the original. “Ein gutter schlichter Mann” and his grandson take his last possession to market across the desert. "Grandfather" and "desert" are nice adaptations of the traditional fable. Another great adaptation takes a moment to show itself, as we see first the townspeople looking at them with wonder, for--we learn by turning the page--they are carrying the donkey upside down! The excellent illustrations are done in paper collage with pastel. The donkey tumbles down into the river and runs off, leaving man and grandson with nothing except for the wisdom that “Dem eigenen Herzen zu trauen ist der beste Weg.” A treasure of a book!
