«A História do Senhor Sommer» is the tale by Patrick Süskind, with drawings by Sempé, published by Edições Asa in hardcover (126 pages, in Portuguese).
The narrator recalls his childhood: hiding places from the adult world, fear of the teacher, first romantic disappointment, and falls from a bicycle too big for him. His story crosses paths with Mr. Sommer, a tireless walker who roams the region from dawn to dusk for no apparent reason.
Originally published in 1991 as «Die Geschichte von Herrn Sommer», this Portuguese edition, translated by Maria Castro Dias, appeared in 1995.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy nostalgic, illustrated tales about childhood, solitude, and memory.
