Bridge

《The Bridge》由瑞典創作者Eva Lindström書寫與繪製，一頭尋橋的小豬，意外成為森林裡兩隻狼的客人。這是場看似平常卻越發荒謬的相遇，像童話，卻更像生活本身。畫風沉著，文字精簡，節奏快中帶冷幽默，讓人在笑意中浮現思索。全書充滿Jon Klassen式的機鋒與William Steig般的智慧，讀完後，橋在哪裡反倒不再重要了。“The Bridge is so many things at once. It is very funny, it is very mysterious, it is very beautiful, and it is like no book I’ve ever seen. I love it very much.” —Jon KlassenFrom beloved Swedish children’s author-illustrator Eva Lindström, The Bridge is the story of two wolves, one pig, and a bridge—and what it means to embrace the absurd twists and turns that life sometimes has in store. Perfect for fans of the down-to-earth charm and wisdom of William Steig and the sly wit of Jon Klassen.A pig drives by looking for a bridge but ends up the houseguest of two wolves in the woods. Who are they? What do they want? And where is the pig rushing off to, anyway? Written and illustrated in Lindström’s laconic, razor-sharp, and darkly comical style, The Bridge marks the US debut of one of the world's most celebrated picture
