«Hermosa soledad» is the illustrated poetry book by Jimmy Liao, published by Barbara Fiore Editora in hardback (176 pages, in Spanish).
After discovering in 1995 that he had leukaemia, Jimmy Liao spent a year of treatment in seclusion and silence, a period from which the drawings and poems gathered in this volume emerged. In that melancholic universe, whales dance and sing, a rabbit's tears make flowers sprout from dry earth, and butterflies cover the girls with a multicoloured quilt. A window into the author's sensibility during one of the most difficult moments of his life.
Illustrated album of 176 pages in hardback, published in 2008 by Barbara Fiore Editora in Spanish. Includes texts by Taiwanese author Jimmy Liao (Taipei, 1958), translated by Jordi Ainaud i Escudero.
Recommended for readers aged 9 and up, although its lyricism and depth also connect with adult audiences, especially those who enjoy visual poetry and the contemporary illustrated album.
Jimmy Liao is a Taiwanese illustrator as well as a picture book writer. His Chinese pen name (幾米) is phonetically derived from his English given name Jimmy.
