Korkular ve kendine güvenme üstüne kısacık sıra dışı bir hikâye...

Felya, o şeyin ilk ne zaman ortaya çıktığını hiç bilmiyordu.
Küçüklüğünden beri bir an olsun yanından ayrılmamıştı ki.
Hep oradaydı.
Üstelik kimse bunun farkında değildi...

As a child...
Timothee de Fombelle was born in the heart of Paris in 1973, but often accompanied his architect father on his travels to Africa. Each summer his family left for the countryside (the west of France), where the five brothers and sisters lived like wild horses, making huts in the trees, playing in the river and losing themselves in the woods. In the evening they performed plays for their parents and devoured the books in the library. Childhood remains for him the lost paradise which he re-discovers through writing.

As an adult...
After becoming a literature teacher, Timothee taught in Paris and Vietnam before choosing the bohemian life of the theatre. Author of a dozen plays, he writes, designs, builds sets and directs the actress he admires the most, his wife Laetitia. They have a young daughter, Jeanne Elisha, who already loves climbing trees. Toby Alone is his first novel and has already been translated into 22 languages.

As an artist...
Passionate about books and theatre, Timothee has been writing since he was young. The stage has been his testing ground but it is life, with its joys and trials, which inspires his real work. A great traveller, Timothee recognises that the writing of Toby Alone has been his best journey so far.

Une petite fille, suivie par une inquiétante et sombre bulle, décide de prendre le problème à bras-le-corps et se retrouve alors dans un univers fantastique. C'est pour elle l'occasion de vivre des aventures, évoquées à travers quelques mots. Comme d'habitude avec Timothée, on se retrouve face à un texte aux images poétiques, tout en légèreté, mais peut-être un peu trop pour moi qui ai l'habitude de textes plus denses en littérature jeunesse. L'émotion, l'angoisse et l'émerveillement sont bien retranscrits par les très jolis graphismes, indispensables ici pour déchiffrer l'histoire. Un bel album, sans doute plus adapté aux lecteurs aguerris qui pourront décoder plus aisément les évènements.

Kişisel olarak en çok bağ kurduğum kitaplardan birisi olabilir. Kafasının tepesinde kara bir bulutla dünyaya gelen ve heep öyle yaşayan bir çocukla tanıştırıyor bu kitap beni. Ve bilin bakalım ben neden bu kitapla bu kadar yakın hissettim? Çünkü ben de çocukluğumdan beri o kara bulutla yaşamanın farklı yollarını arayan çocuklardan birisiyim. O ormana girmeye cesaretim de var; ama o ormana girdim ve tüm canavarlarla savaştım diye, kara bulutun vazgeçeceğinden emin değilim. O yüzden böyle tümden bir çözülme vaadeden kitaplarda az biraz kalbim kırılıyor. Kalbimiz kırılmaya alışkın neyse ki :) Vazgeçmiyor ve maceraya devam ediyoruz

İlüstrasyonları çok güzel ve özenli bir kitap. Tüm baloncuklulara sevgiler...

Misha est une petite fille à laquelle une bulle sombre et mystérieuse est attachée, sans qu’elle ne sache pourquoi, cette masse inquiétante la suit partout. Un jour se présente la possibilité d’aller à l’aventure et Misha n’hésite pas une seule seconde, peu importe le risque et les dangers. Elle va alors devoir combattre la fameuse bulle, sous une forme différente et bien plus inquiétante.

Un très bel album – les illustrations d’Éloïse Scherrer sont absolument magnifiques – sur les démons intérieurs, les angoisses, les inquiétudes qui nous poursuivent à tous moments, même les plus joyeux. Et puis, une petite fille qui s’arme pour combattre tel un chevalier ? Que demander de plus ?
