Diario De Un Donjuán Del Mar by Azahara Castillo (Hardback)
An ode to love and a positive attitude through fun, colorful, and action-packed images that challenge the reader to decipher how many stories unfold.
It all begins with a peaceful stroll along the seaside. A love-struck dog has found the love of its life, or so it believes. But that's not the only thing that will happen...
Here is an illustrated album representing an ode to love and a positive attitude. It is a narrative and illustrative game that offers us a story of love-or perhaps two or even three. Who knows!
It will be the reader's task to discover how many stories can unfold in the same setting, where symbolism and metaphor come together to offer us a "sea" of enjoyable reading. A message of positivity and perseverance in the face of our goals and objectives; only in this way can we distance ourselves from negative feelings such as frustration.
Maintaining a constructive attitude will allow us to make the most of things and will ensure that, no matter what happens, we always extract the best from every situation. Because if, despite trying, things don't turn out as we expected... It doesn't matter!
There is no room for discouragement or defeat. We always have the option to try again, even more eager and stronger.
And of course, it's also a nod to love, an invitation to look "with eyes of the heart," to be happier and to make others happier too.
Una oda al amor y a la actitud positiva a través de divertidas imágenes llenas de color y acción que retan al lector a descifrar cuántas historias suceden en realidad.
Todo empieza con un tranquilo paseo a orillas del mar. Un enamoradizo perro ha encontrado al amor de su vida, o eso cree. Pero no es lo único que sucederá…
He aquì un álbum ilustrado que representa una oda al amor y a la actitud positiva.
Un juego narrativo e ilustrativo que nos ofrece una historia de amor. O quizás sean dos, o puede que tres. ¡Quién sabe!
Será tarea del lector descubrir cuántas historias pueden llegar a ocurrir en un mismo escenario, donde la simbologìa y la metáfora se dan la mano para ofrecernos una lectura "la mar" de divertida.
Un mensaje de positividad y perseverancia frente a nuestras metas y objetivos; solo asì lograremos alejar de nosotros sentimientos tan negativos como la frustración. Mantener una actitud constructiva nos permitirá sacar el mejor partido a las cosas, y hará que, pase lo que pase, siempre extraigamos lo mejor de cada situación.
Porque, si a pesar de intentarlo, las cosas no salen como esperábamos… ¡No importa!
No hay lugar al desánimo o a la derrota. Siempre nos queda volverlo a intentar, aún con más ganas y más fuerzas.
Y es también, por supuesto, un guiño al amor, una invitación a mirar "con ojos de corazón", para ser más felices y hacer también más felices a los demás.
