In the German picturebook, ‘s Nachts (in spanish translation: Por la noche, pubished by SM), Wolf Erlbruch makes an interesting set of narrative perspectives. The narrator of the written text offers a vision of history different to the vision provided by the images. These illustrations reflect the perception of child protagonist. Thus, the autor-illustrator contrasts two visions of the same event: 1) a father who tries to convince his son that he has to go to sleep, because everebody is sleeping; 2) the child sees that nobody is sleeping tonight. This literary resource produces a creative counterpoint in narrative perspective.
Sorry for my English.
