走进一个充满命运多舛的恋人、神奇的风、爱恶作剧的巨人和 trolls 的世界，这里有着出版史上最精美的插画。在这本华丽的重印版中，TASCHEN 重现了深受喜爱的丹麦艺术家凯·尼尔森最宏大的出版项目，他是有史以来最著名的儿童书籍插画师之一。

《太阳之东，月亮之西》首次出版于 1914 年，是一部备受赞誉的童话集，收录了 15 个童话故事，由传奇的挪威民俗学家彼得·克里斯滕·阿斯比约恩森和延斯·恩格布雷森·莫在 19 世纪中叶穿越挪威的旅途中收集而成。尼尔森为阿斯比约恩森和莫的童话创作的插画版被视为 20 世纪早期儿童文学的瑰宝，深受全球艺术和书籍收藏家的追捧。2008 年，一本带有作者签名的原版书在拍卖会上拍出，创下了插图儿童书籍的最高成交价。

这本制作精良的重印版将尼尔森画作中令人惊叹的细节和艺术性恢复到了最初的辉煌。该书采用五色印刷，包含 46 幅插画，其中有许多来自尼尔森罕见的原始水彩画的放大细节。书中还附有三篇文章，配有数十幅尼尔森罕见且此前未公开的艺术作品，探讨了挪威民间故事的历史、尼尔森的生平与创作，以及这部杰作的诞生过程。

Step into a world of star-crossed lovers, magical winds, mischievous giants, and trolls, through some of the most exquisite illustrations in publishing history. In this gorgeous reprint, TASCHEN revives the most ambitious publication project of beloved Danish artist Kay Nielsen, one of the most famous children’s book illustrators of all time.

First published in 1914, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a celebrated collection of fifteen fairy tales, gathered by legendary Norwegian folklorists Peter Christen Asbj?rnsen and J?rgen Engebretsen Moe on their journeys across Norway in the mid-nineteenth century. Nielsen’s illustration edition of Asbj?rnsen and Moe’s tales is considered a jewel of early 20th-century children's literature, highly sought-after by art and book collectors worldwide. An original signed copy of the book sold at auction in 2008 commanded the highest price ever paid for an illustrated children’s book.

This finely crafted reprint restores the stunning detail and artistry of Nielsen’s images to their original splendor. Featuring 46 illustrations, including many enlarged details from Nielsen’s rare original watercolors, the book is printed in five colors. Three accompanying essays, illustrated with dozens of rare and previously unseen artworks by Nielsen, explore the history of Norwegian folktales, Nielsen’s life and work, and how this masterpiece came to be.
