Chris Wanten Livres

As every year, six year-old Tika and her parents go to the sea for their summer holidays. But this summer Tika discovers the secret that at night their beach house is a castle full of strange and funny creatures that she can meet in her dreams, if she only catches the »magic moment« her father tells her about. Soon Tika and her friend Angie are busy traveling between two worlds. Until one night Tika's cat goes missing. Will Angie and her dream friends be able to help her find it? Which role does her father play, and what does all this have to do with the digestion of pizza and the letters of the alphabet? A poetic fantasy book full of hidden puns, tongue twisters, funny nonsense, serene slapstick, and a wry sense of humor. A hilarious tale, bound to delight children and adults alike.

After eight years finally a new poetry book from award-winning artist Chris Wanten, teacher for Creative Writing, member of the International Writers and Artists Association (IAW) and founder of "poets online", one of the first global poetry networks on the internet. The new poems are artistic descriptions of significant little moments, insignificant bigger emotions, fears and feelings. The poetry is uniquely hidden in floating words that -lined up like pearls on a string- allow you to gain an insight into a world of love, passion and affection from the beginning of a relationship to its end. To read it means to catch the moment only to feel it slip trough your fingers like desert sand.

"Familie Gleichmann" beschreibt den alltäglichen Wahnsinn im Leben der fünfjährigen Angienette Gleichmann und ihrer Eltern Sandra und Kris.Ein leises, sanftes Buch voller versteckter Kleinigkeiten, die man sich mit Fantasie und bildlicher Vorstellungskraft erlesen kann. Hauptaugenmerk liegen auf der Sprache und den Dialogen, die Handlung entwickelt sich dadurch wie von selbst. Viele Eltern (und andere ähnlich humorvolle Menschen) werden es lieben, denn "Familie Gleichmann" ist gespickt mit lustigen Menschen, Situationskomik, Wortakrobatik und (na ja, zumindest überwiegend) intelligentem Humor. Ein fast poetisches Grinsebuch für alle, die sich beim Lesen gerne gut amüsieren und Lust auf kurzweilige Unterhaltung haben. Coverfoto:(c) LanaK - Fotolia.com
