●BOOK● IGARKIZUNAK by Xabier Etxaniz

     

Illustrations for IGARKIZUNAK written by Xabier Etxaniz.

BACK-COVER BLURB from fifth edition
This is a book of five hundred riddles. The author has collected these riddles from many sources, as can be seen in the bibliography at the back of the book. But what is a riddle? "Each riddle is a small mystery, a mystery that we must explain, decipher, with our own wisdom, imagination and intelligence." Great importance was given to the illustration when creating this book. This is not a book made just to read, but also to delight the eyes. Thanks to the skillful hand of Jesus Lucas, this book seems to be alive.

Xabier Etxaniz was born in Oñati in 1961. Today he lives in Gasteiz. He has a degree in Basque Philology and teaches at the Gasteiz Master's School. He has written several books in children's and young adult literature, including: PATXIKI, ILUN, NIRE BELARRIAK, GOLA, KATU TRAPEZISTA, ZER DELA ETA ZER DELA?, HAUR FOLKLOREAREN BILDUMA... He is also a literary critic and has conducted several studies in this area.
