Nutcracker

Product Information

Alina Somova & Vladimir Shklyarov (2012). Sugarplum and Cavalier variations. St Petersburg, Russia: Ovation. This is the marvellously strange and creative novella that Tchaikovsky's ballet is based on. And it is just as surreal as the ballet - but ballets are surreal by nature, while books needn't be. Like a darker, Continental forerunner to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It makes zero sense, but is more than evocative enough to make up for it. blogcritics.org". blogcritics.org.

Several films having little or nothing to do with the ballet or the original Hoffmann tale have used its music: I love how whimsical and dreamy this graphic novel version of Hoffmann's story is. Andrewson's style, with all of its curvy lines, makes you feel like you are moving along with the characters in their fantasy adventure. Once again, readers only familiar with the ballet will discover new plot points and new inventions and will love the refocused attention on Clara. ( Ever notice how she is almost totally passive in the second half of the ballet?) Don't forget to read the author's note in which Andrewson describes her long admiration for the story! Ages 7 and up.

But I wanted to read this version because Auntie J said it was the best version ever. En mi caso, no tenía ni idea de la historia ni de lo que sería la trama en sí, ya que ni he visto el ballet (tan solo había escuchado la música compuesta por el mismo Chaikovski) y ni he leído el cuento original alemán. Pero bueno, después de pensármelo dos veces decidí que quería leer algo escrito por Dumas (padre) antes de aventurarme más tarde este año con su obra maestra, El conde de Montecristo, y qué buena experiencia me llevé tras terminar esta obra.
