Apollo's Song: New Omnibus Edition by Osamu Tezuka (English) Paperback Book

Description: Apollo's Song by Osamu Tezuka OR NOT TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL...From a boxcar bound for a Nazi concentration camp to a dystopian future where humans are persecuted by their own clones, Apollos Song reaches Olympian heights of tragedy as it explores the meaning of love and the consequences of its absence. Salty, romantic, and at times profoundly erotic, the ambiguities of its poetic justice will plumb new depths of the heart with each rereading. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Osamu Tezuka (1928-89) is the godfather of Japanese manga comics. He originally intended to become a doctor and earned his degree before turning to what was then a medium for children. His many early masterpieces include the series known in the U.S. as Astro Boy. With his sweeping vision, deftly interwined plots, feel for the workings of power, and indefatigable commitment to human dignity, Tezuka elevated manga to an art form. The later Tezuka, when he authored Buddha, often had in mind the mature readership that manga gained in the sixties and that had only grown ever since. The Kurosawa of Japanese pop culture, Osamu Tezuka is a twentieth century classic. Review "More than telling a multifaceted story, Apollos Song inspires. When the dust settles and the back cover is closed, Tezukas intent is laid bare to the reader and its a noble one. Shogo doesnt merely learn a lesson about love and life — he transcends the agony of both." - MangaLife"Tezukas work is about as essential and far-reaching as manga gets, and Apollos Song only adds that much more weight to an already massive reputation. Start here, and if youre intrigued, Ode to Kirihito and Buddha also await you. Theres never been anything like Tezukas body of work, and there probably never will be again." - Serdar Yegulalp Anime Advanced Media Network Details ISBN1647291208 Author Osamu Tezuka Short Title Apollos Song Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 1647291208 ISBN-13 9781647291204 Format Paperback Publication Date 2022-04-19 Subtitle New Omnibus Edition Publisher Vertical Inc.
