Description

Blurb:
A famous manga artist provides the latest entry in the Louvre collection of graphic novels. After a group trip to Europe, a Japanese designer stops in Paris alone, intent on visiting the museums of the capital. But, bedridden in his hotel room with fever, he faces the absolute solitude of one suffering in a foreign land, deprived of any immediate or familiar recourse. When the fever breaks somewhat, he sets out on his visit and promptly gets lost in the crowded halls of the Louvre. Very soon, he discovers many unsuspected facets to this world in a museum, meeting artists and their works from various periods, in a journey oscillating between feverish hallucination and reality, finishing at the crossroads between human and personal history. With this inner journey, Jiro Taniguchi invites us on a temporal and artistic trip to discover a sense of place under the leadership of some tutelary figures that appear to him, familiar or unknown … the guardians of the Louvre.
Ein japanischer Tourist erkältet während seines Parisurlaubs. Das hält den kunstbegeisterten Mann aber nicht davon ab, dem berühmten Museum Louvre einen Besuch abzustatten. Ihn erwarten große Massen an Touristen, die alle die ausgestellten Kunstschätze selbst näher in Augenschein nehmen wollen. Überwältigt von den vielen Menschen, zieht sich der Japaner ins wenig besuchte Untergeschoss des Denon-Flügels zurück und schwelgt in einem Tagtraum dahin. Raum und Zeit verschmelzen um hin herum, bis er plötzlich allein in einem großen Gang umgeben von Gemälden wieder erwacht. Es begrüßt ihn Nike von Samothrake in ihrer menschlichen Gestalt. Man kennt sie als unvollendete, ausgestellte Skulptur als Teil des Museums. Sie stellt sich als Wächterin über den Louvre und all seiner einzigartigen Werke vor. Gemeinsam erkunden die zwei weitere Ausstellungsräume und treffen dabei namhafte Bilder wie die Mona Lisa. Auch begegnet der Japaner im Laufe seines Aufenthalts berühmten Malern wie Vincent van Gogh, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot und Chu Asai, die ihn an ihrer Welt teilhaben lassen …

Anmerkung:
Der Wächter des Louvre“ war eine Auftragsarbeit vom Museum Louvre und dem Pariser Verlag Futureopolis an Jiro Taniguchi. Der Manga ist vollfarbig.
Texto de presentación:
Al término de un viaje colectivo a Europa, un dibujante japonés hace una etapa en solitario en París, con intención de visitar los museos de la capital. Pero, postrado en la cama de la habitación de su hotel por una insidiosa fiebre, se encuentra confrontado ante todo a una forma de soledad absoluta, la de los que sufren en tierra extraña, privados de cualquier recurso inmediato en el corazón de lo desconocido. Aprovechando la pequeña tregua que le da su enfermedad, lleva a cabo su proyecto y se pierde en los pasillos abarrotados de gente del Louvre. Muy pronto descubrirá facetas insospechadas de este museo-mundo, yendo al encuentro de obras y de artistas de diversas épocas, en un periplo que oscila entre el sueño y la realidad, que le llevará, para terminar, a una encrucijada entre tragedia colectiva e historia personal. Con este álbum en forma de viaje interior, Jirô Taniguchi nos invita a una travesía temporal y artística, en la que descubrimos el alma de ese lugar, bajo la dirección de algunas figuras tutelares, familiares o desconocidas... Pues el Louvre tiene guardianes.
