moon has always understood and is the object of admiration of poets and painters evanescent, mysterious symbol of the aspiration to find a secret truth, that it sinks to the heart without mediation, and that bypassing the certainties prosaic of everyday life that opens Friedrich, the great Romantic painter , called "the eye of the spirit." Mysterious ways, therefore, its light pale expresses a truth that seems to escape the rational light of day and the truth of the symbolic meanings buried in our unconscious. At the
the ancient civilizations was often a moon goddess, shadowy creature
female gender, the depository of secret initiation that led to life and its mystery . In this tale
delicate, which in reality is perhaps not so fairy tale, because there is almost nothing concrete happens, it tells of a wolf that wanders between the snowy streets of a country and a moon that appears and disappears , beloved of a moon and waiting for the wolf, a symbol both of the male and female, in their chase, and have wanted. This is the meaning of the words of his grandfather addressed his nephew to go to sleep: "My son, wake up! Flying in the sky the moon and the black wolf! Both are wrapped in honey. This is my story, my dear son! ", Which means that the story is nothing but a metaphor for the joys of love, gracefully evoked by the words of Chef Mauro , and that the illustrations by Mara Calesini enhance the simplicity of black and white. The taste ranges from the genuine graphics of figures naive hatch, next to pictures with popular taste, where the backgrounds appear
partially filled by fine cross-hatching, as the concrete world country here recalled, stylized and daring, frankly prone to two-dimensional collage. In contrast to co-present illustrative styles, sometimes harsh, realistic suggestions and silhouette from the archetypal value, express the same dissonance of the written text, making it so effectively the spirit, light and shade and dissonant as the light of love, whose physical charms and spiritual energy is expressed by metaphorical.
