An Organa Presentation
One of the great children's CD-ROMs, The
Book of Lulu has sold hundreds of thousands of copies in
Europe and Japan and won dozens of awards. Now it is available
for the first time in the U.S. in English in both updated
CD-ROM and DVD-ROM versions.
Let critic Bob Hughes describe the magic
of Lulu...
"Lulu" reaches emotions other
CDs leave untouched. There is sentiment here on a scale
few English-speaking authors would even dare to attempt.
Visually, it is exquisite. It has wonderful haunting music
(by Olivier Pryszlak). But that is not where the magic begins.
In fact, "Lulu" is not a book. It is a play on
the whole idea of books, the people who live in them, and
the deep, yet impossible attachments we form with them „
especially as children. There is no "real" Book
of Lulu (and Victor-Pujebet insists there never will be).
Lulu's world only exists when the computer is on, and you
are separated from it by the thick glass of your monitor
screen. You cannot put it into your pocket and imagine you
possess it. That is Romain's whole point: we can never possess
the things and people we love.
I think it is the first CDROM that qualifies
for the label "children's classic": it has depths
that make age irrelevant; its greatest depths are conceptual
and emotional; it is worthy of, and rewards, serious critical
attention. -from a review in The Guardian
The DVD-ROM includes eight separate translations
(English, French, Danish, Italian, German, Norwegian, Japanese,
and Chinese) and is ideal for language learning. The DVD-ROM
is a Slingshot disc.
