Little Tiger is not like other tigers. Not content to spend her days alone, roaming the snow forests of Siberia hunting prey, she prefers instead to ponder the ways of the world. One day, eager to discover her own place within it, she sets out on a remarkable journey to discover the secret of life, and to meet the creatures she has heard most about: humans. A moving tale of bravery and spirit, The Tiger and the Acrobat is a celebration of the power of friendship, and a testament to the courage it takes to be true to ourselves.

These stories explore the historical and emotional dramas which lie beneath the consciousness and threaten to erupt into everyday life. In "Monday Again", for example, the cruelty meted out to a girl is compounded by a narrative voice which refuses to understand what it reports. Tamaro exposes with analytical clarity, spectres of our past that abide in us as individuals and as a society, disfiguring our humanity.

In “Hell Does Not Exist,” an abused wife attempts to protect her son, who becomes the source of her greatest joy and her most profound devastation.

Hauntingly powerful and exquisitely written, Answer Me is a spiritually galvanizing book by a writer of international stature.

„Seit er denken konnte, hatte er zu seinem Geburtstag nichts als Bücher bekommen. Erst weiche Bücher aus Stoff, dann Bücher mit großen Bildern und wenigen Wörtern und dann Bücher mit einer Unmenge von Wörtern und wenigen Bildern. Wenn Leopoldo die Augen aufschlug, sah er von seinem Bett aus nichts als Regale, Regale voller Bücher, und unter all den Büchern war nicht eines, das er sich gewünscht hätte.“

Questa è una storia lunga centinaia di anni e insieme pochi giorni, è il mondo visto dalle radici e vissuto tra i rami, è un viaggio nel tempo e nello spazio, ma soprattutto una storia di amore e di speranza. Il libro di cui abbiamo bisogno adesso, scritto da un'autrice capace di parlare al cuore e alla testa, con tono lieve, allegro e pieno di grazia. "La sensazione e l'emozione che ho avuto nello scrivere questo libro sono paragonabili soltanto a quello che ho provato scrivendo, sedici anni fa, Va' dove ti porta il cuore. La letteratura ha bisogno di parlare all'anima. In un tempo di crisi e di cose opache c'è bisogno di qualcosa di luminoso" (Susanna Tamaro)
