Synopsis "La Isla de Abel (in Spanish)"

Cuando lo tienes todo, es difícil sobrevivir sin nada. Abel es un ratoncillo con mucha suerte: vive en un entorno civilizado y con todas las comodidades, feliz con su querida Amanda. Un día, una enorme tormenta los sorprende en pleno pícnic. Un viento huracanado se lo lleva y lo arrastra hasta un sitio desconocido. Una isla remota. Un lugar gigante y lleno de peligros donde deberá construir balsas, cruzar ríos, trepar árboles y buscar comida para sobrevivir. Así descubre la corteza de abedul y los tallos de diente de león, sus nuevas comidas favoritas. Abel está muy lejos del mundo que conoce, en un paraje hostil, donde debe apañárselas solo, y únicamente sueña con regresar a casa con su Amanda. Pero este Robinson Crusoe roedor pronto descubrirá los secretos maravillosos de la isla, y de la vida. Un viaje emocionante, poético y tremendamente divertido. Una de las obras maestras de la literatura infantil universal.

William Steig (1907–2003) was a prominent American cartoonist and author, known for his work in The New Yorker and his children's books. He began his artistic career during the Great Depression, publishing his first cartoon in 1930. Throughout his life, he contributed more than 1,600 drawings and 117 covers for the magazine. At the age of 61, he ventured into children's literature, where he also left a significant mark.

Among his most recognized works are Sylvester and the Magic Pebble (1969), which received the Caldecott Medal; Doctor De Soto (1982), awarded the National Book Award; and Shrek! (1990), which inspired the successful namesake film franchise. His style is characterized by a combination of humor, tenderness, and a deep understanding of child psychology.
