    About this ebook

    Little Tiger is not like other tigers. She is curious about the world and always questions everything, not content to simply follow in her mother’s footsteps and spend her days hunting around their home in the snow forests of Siberia. Instead, she embarks on a remarkable journey, intent on discovering the secrets of the Earth and eventually finding the creature she has heard most about: man.

    This captivating story of a brave young tiger who refuses to give up on her dreams is a celebration of the power of nature and the beauty of innocence, and is a testament to the courage it takes to be true to ourselves.

      I really enjoyed reading this book, it was interesting, unique, and thoughtful. Little Tiger has such curiosity and I felt what she feels. I too am curious about many a thing, and I enjoyed her foray into unknown territory, both physical and mental. My favorite sections of the book were her childhood and then her journey to find man. I didn't care so much for the section after she meets the first man, but then I liked it again in the final years of her life. I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it.There were quite a bit of philosophical thought and questions in this book, some of which I don't think really got through to me. Which is probably why I don't like a few parts of this novel. Overall it was an enjoyable read, and I do plan on keeping my copy, but I don't know if I would read it again in the near future.I do recommend at least reading this book once. I think some people will enjoy it very much.

      "The Tiger And The Acrobat is a story of a small tiger that loves the liberty, and is curious by the environment around it.This tiger is not a common animal because it does not accept the destiny, it wants to decide its destiny.The first meeting is with a good man, he is not like the others, he is a herem and he refuses his similars.Between them there is a true friendship, there is feeling and the man will die for his little tiger, to save his life.This tiger does not want to be free but it wants to know where the sun is born, the liberty will have a high cost other than the death of its friend.The second meeting is with the little acrobat, a teen who loves the tigers, he will speak with our tiger, and he will give her the liberty.In the middle of the book there is a philosophical debate on the sense of death, the animals accept the death because they are not able to think about their future, the human being is afraid of the death because he will leave the known for the unknown, and they does not need the necessity to know if an action is right or wrong, they will act according to the nature.The nature is cruel, thanks to the freedom and with the meeting with the humans, it will go against this law, because it does not need more to eat, and it will reflect on the meaning of the life and the beauty of our world and the afterlife."

      Each chapter holds pearls of wisdom, and for me, this book is a quiet read. It steps away from the vulgarities of life all the while exploring the true meaning of life and death. Filled with courage, innocence, trust and the idea of following ones dreams, readers are treated with a story that is easy to read and endearing to the heart. Follow Little Tiger on her journey as she remains true to her heart and follows her dreams.Thank you to Librarything for the advanced reader copy.

      This was a lovely fantasy novella . It's about the long adventurous life of a Siberian tiger. We meet her as a cub and watch her go through life trying to find her purpose. I enjoyed this book .
    • 4/5
      What a sweet gem of a story contained in a rather short book. The writing is lyrical and dreamlike. Much wisdom is imparted within each chapter. It begs the reader to ponder their own experiences in relation to those of the Tiger. The story is one of curiosity, wonder, introspection, discovery, fear, trust, solitude, betrayal, love and affection. What does it take to follow your dreams and remain true to yourself?Such sweetness in a beautiful and touching story for a not so perfect world. I am grateful to author Susanna Tamaro, One World Publications and LibraryThing Early Reviewers for having provided a free uncorrected advance reader's copy of this book. Their generosity, however, did not influence this review - the words of which are mine alone.Synopsis (from book's back cover):Little Tiger is not like other tigers. She is curious about the world and always questions everything, not content to simply follow in her mother's footsteps and spend her days hunting around their home in the snow forests of Siberia. Instead, she embarks on a remarkable journey, intent on discovering the secrets of the Earth and eventually finding the creature she has heard most about: man.This captivating story of a brave young tiger who refuses to give up on her dreams is a celebration of the power of nature and the beauty of innocence, and is a testament to the courage it takes to be true to ourselves.
    • 5/5
      An exhilarating and delightful fable about a Siberian tiger and her curiosity leading her to eschew the "normal" life of a tiger: staking out her Kingdom, mating, and raising a family. She seeks what lies beyond her life in the taiga. Throughout the tiger's life span, her living with a kindly and wise Man, and, in a Circus through a Little Acrobat who sets her free she grows to appreciate the wonder of Nature and explores the mysteries of life. A beautifully written, poignant novella. Highly recommended.

      *received as part of LibraryThing's early reviewers program*This is a beautifully written book. It belongs directly next to Jonathon Livingston Seagull on a bookshelf; whether you consider that high praise or low condemnation is up to you.
