(W) Yumemakura Baku (A) Jiro Taniguchi Why climb Mount Everest? Englishman George Herbert Leigh Mallory said in reply, 'Because it is there' in a March 1923 interview with The New York Times. On his third expedition to the mountain in June 1924, Mallory and his climbing partner, Andrew Irvine, disappeared on the North-East ridge during their ascent, having been sighted only a few hundred yards from the summit.

Did it hold the secret of whether Mallory and Irvine made it to the summit almost three decades ahead of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Jiro Taniguchi Lost in the Great North, two men are saved by the appearance of an old hunter who divulges a strange legend to them: Surrounded by wolves and fighting for their survival, two explorers head for Alaska to bury their companion. In 1920's Japan a man sets out to find the bear that killed his son. A marine biologist begins a quest to find the mythical graveyard of whales. Six shorts with as many stories of men confronted with a savage nature which is sometime cruel, sometimes forgiving but always vast. Through tales filled with respect for animal life, this splendid collection, which lies at the crossroads of poetry and adventure, shows master story-imager Taniguchi at his award-winning best.

(W) Natsuo Sekigawa (A) Jiro Taniguchi The Meiji era (1868-1912) was one of Japanese history's defining periods, a time of massive change from the more traditional Tokugawa era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world. Contemporary writer, Soseki Natsume, suffered due to all the social and cultural changes, and expressed his feelings through his character Botchan. Sekigawa explores the period through an adult point-of-view, and Taniguchi's art portrays the material with exquisite and elegant detail. Presented in traditional Japanese format reading.
