Sandman The Dream Hunters SC

Product Information

Honestly, this is a beautifully simple tale full of Gaiman's rich vocabulary and endless imagination, illustrated perfectly by Russell. I honestly think this is a writer/illustrator marriage made in heaven. They both complement each other so well and I feel privileged to be able to read, share and delight in the enchanting worlds they create. May their reign long continue!

Gaiman does a convincing job of writing in a faux-translation style. His prose in The Dream Hunters is more direct, less full of digressions and figurative wordplay. It reads like a story adapted from a British retelling of a Japanese folktale. Which is, of course, exactly the point. So I will forgive myself and everyone else who fell for the ruse, because the master storyteller did what he does: told a masterful story. And the way of telling is just as important as what is told.

Un volume che contiene una storia in prosa, la storia giapponese riadattata da Gaiman e inserita nell'universo di Sandman. Corredata delle splendide illustrazioni di Amano, compreso un paginone centrale doppio da aprire completamente per gustarsi Morfeo nella sua sala del trono. P. Craig Russell is one of my favorite comic artists. He's known for his adaptions of classic plays and operas. He's also adapted a bunch of Neil Gaiman stories including Coraline. I'm not sure why Russell likes adapting Gaiman so much. I prefer his adaptions of older stories, but the setting of this story actually works really well for Russell's style.urn:lcp:sandmandreamhunt0000russ:epub:6c81934b-bf2f-44f1-94cf-6a2d49f86c41 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier sandmandreamhunt0000russ Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2fd198wpsj Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781401224240

As a lover of Japan and everything mythology, I was pleasantly surprised when I learned the plot was about both. I went into this graphic novel blind, having not previously read the famously acclaimed Sandman books and knowing virtually nothing about the story. So I can only speak for this one installment. Finchè, arrivati vicini al ventennale di Sandman, mentre lavoravano sull'adattamento a fumetto di Coraline, Russell torna alla carica. E questa volta ci riesce, ottenendo di disegnare il fumetto del racconto in prosa del decennale.Inspired by Japanese folklore he had discovered while working on the Studio Ghibli Mononoke adaptation, he decided to recast an ancient fairy tale from our world and place it in the realm of Sandman. He wanted to retell the story “in his own way,” according to the afterword printed in Sandman: The Dream Hunters. Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: The kitsune sees Dream as a giant fox the color of the night sky. The monk sees a gaunt Japanese man wearing a robe made of tormented souls. It’s yet another story of sacrifice and obligation, of love and honor and commitment, set amidst high fantasy and dark dealings and the shifting veil of the world that lies beyond sleep.
