Gottfried Keller Livres

Un petit tailleur a quitté la ville où il vient de perdre son travail et se retrouve seul, affamé et sans le sou, sur une route de campagne. Ce curieux personnage, rêveur et timide, préférerait encore mourir de faim plutôt que de se séparer du magnifique manteau qui l'enveloppe et le fait ressembler à un jeune noble romantique. Alors qu'il gravit péniblement une colline et que la pluie menace, un cocher s'arrête et l'invite à monter dans sa calèche vide. Vers quel étrange destin va l'emporter le somptueux équipage ?

Mérette est une enfant hors du commun. Tout le monde l’aime, même les plantes et les animaux. Mais elle sait ce qu’elle se veut et refuse de prier.

Laura Jurt a été récompensée par le Prix 2015 de la fondation Hans-Meid à Hambourg pour ses illustrations de «Mérette».
