【時間如同長河奔流，亦如生命的際遇更迭】《The River》
義大利安徒生獎得主 Alessandro Sanna 作品
一條河流就像漫長的時間，將我們帶向遠方，然而目的地在哪，則只有河流自己曉得。河水承載的情感與記憶，隨著四季的轉移，它的支流亦跟著人們的步履和遷徙，各自邁向不同的結局。
受到義大利的波河(Po River)所啟發，藝術家僅依靠水彩渲染和顏色的轉換交錯，用四個季節的流轉來訴說一段河流的故事，同時也是人的故事。從秋天開始，到夏天結束，在每個季節開始的地方，會有一小段文字的介紹，隨後便是無對白的畫面，一幅接著一幅，若仔細觀察，讀者便可以發現其中隱藏的劇情，並尋找故事背後的含義。
擅長使用水彩及各種顏色調和技法的義大利插畫家Alessandro Sanna，不但是傑出的畫家，更是多產的創作者。他的作品曾多次出現在紐約時報和紐約客雜誌(The New Yorker)上，並於法國、以色列、南韓等國家辦過展覽，也曾替許多知名文學作品繪製插圖，例如卡爾維諾、大衛‧葛羅斯曼等人。2003年和2009年皆榮獲義大利安徒生獎的殊榮，2009年Sanna被表揚為最佳年度插畫家。

Surprising, original, and gorgeous, The River is a book about the seasons and the different kinds of experiences and stories that each season brings. Consisting almost entirely of images, The River presents each of the four seasons as its own chapter and story. A few sentences at the start of each chapter set the stage and provide clues for following each story. Beginning in autumn and ending in summer, The River is about our connection to place, as well as about the connections between geography, setting, and the stories we tell. The River is also about the flow of time, which flows like the river, and carries us.

Alessandro Sanna and his work are renowned throughout Italy and this book, which will fascinate young and old alike, demonstrates why.

Born in 1975, Alessandro Sanna's work is well-known throughout Italy. He has earned wide recognition across Europe as an illustrator and author, and his work has appeared in the New York Times Book Review and the New Yorker. He is a prolific and popular creator of illustrated books for children and readers of all ages and has received many awards and had many exhibitions. He lives and works in Mantua, Italy.
