socks, lies & Wine
In his book, which is based on the play of the same name, Alvaro Solar tells the story of a clique of children from Chile growing up between poverty, a putsch and earthquakes in words that are as simple as they are poetic. He also takes up small and big questions in life: Why are there so many individual socks? What would war and peace talk about over a glass of wine? And what is the difference between lies and truth? With funny but also philosophical texts and imaginative and detailed illustrations, Alvaro Solar makes you laugh, cry and think.
