A Korean Charlotte's Web More than 2 million copies sold This is the story of a hen named Sprout. No longer content to lay eggs on command, only to have them carted off to the market, she glimpses her future every morning through the barn doors, where the other animals roam free, and comes up with a plan to escape into the wild—and to hatch an egg of her own. An anthem for freedom, individuality and motherhood featuring a plucky, spirited heroine who rebels against the tradition-bound world of the barnyard, The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly is a novel of universal resonance that also opens a window on Korea, where it has captivated millions of readers. And with its array of animal characters—the hen, the duck, the rooster, the dog, the weasel—it calls to mind such classics in English as Animal Farm and Charlotte’s Web. Featuring specially-commissioned illustrations, this first English-language edition of Sun-mi Hwang’s fable for our times beautifully captures the journey of an unforgettable character in world literature.

La gallina que soñaba con volar es un clásico contemporáneo, una fábula conmovedora que habla de amor, esperanza, lealtad y, sobre todo, libertad. Esta es la historia de una gallina ponedora llamada Brote. Desde su jaula, ansía escapar a la libertad del corral y cumplir sus sueños. En su búsqueda de la felicidad, Brote se enfrentará al miedo a lo desconocido, al rechazo de los demás animales y al peligro que conlleva recorrer su propio camino. A veces el personaje más sencillo, presentado en la prosa más llana, se embarca en el viaje más heroico que puede hacerse en la vida. Ahí tenéis a Brote, una gallina valerosa cuyo modesto sueño de empollar un solo huevo la llevará a encontrar su verdadero lugar en el mundo natural. Corazón, audacia y empatía son las únicas habilidades que necesita Brote para orientarse en esta arriesgada travesía en el delicioso libro de Sun-mi Hwang. Reseñas: «La gallina que soñaba con volar es una novela que combina espléndidamente la fábula, la filosofía, la literatura infantil y la mirada a la naturaleza.» Adam Johnson, ganador del premio Pulitzer «Una inteligente alegoría sobre la vida.» Kirkus Reviews «Todo lo maravilloso de la vida se concentra en esta novela.» Kyung·sook Shin, autora de Por favor, cuida de mamá «Una fábula contada con sencillez y, sin embargo, apasionante.» Publishers Weekly «Con un aire a Juan Salvador Gaviota, este breve pero poderoso cuento dejará huella en lectores de todas las edades, que podrán entenderlo al pie de la letra o profundizar en sus meditaciones sobre vivir con coraje y enfrentarse a la muerte.» Booklist Source : https://lti.overdrive.com/media/AAC6C30C-506C-48CE-B02F-C7A9F84E1175
