- Book Intro
-
An Old Ship is a story about a ship that is fond of the ocean. The book calmly portrays the ship's entire lifetime, from its sturdy and zealous days of youth, its old age when it starts fearing the ocean to the final moments of its life. Unlike the simple writing style, the pictures seem a little incongruous and create a cheerful rhythm. The book may feel different depending on what you see first - the text or the pictures. This incongruous harmony finally becomes one story in the final scene. When that happens, perhaps you'll hold your breath for a moment. Even after you close the book, this deeply moving story will linger in your mind for a long time. The story focuses on the ship, but it can also be about the struggles we face every day. And the very word ship can bring back some painful memories.
