Description

Blurb:
Hamaguchi, who dreams of becoming an artist, moves to Tokyo and starts to work in the studios of a famous manga artist, were he discovers both the long hours of meeting studio deadlines and the nightlife and artistic haunts of the capital.
Klappentext:
Der 2008 entstandene Band Ein Zoo im Winter ist das neueste Schwarzweiß-Werk von Jiro Taniguchi und mit Sicherheit eines seiner besten. Autobiographisch inspiriert, bietet dieses Buch keine chronologische Nabelschau, sondern eine sehr stimmungsvolle, in sich geschlossene Erzählung, die im Japan der 60er-Jahre spielt.

Es geht um den jungen, introvertierten und etwas schüchternen Fabrikarbeiter Hamaguchi, der von Kyoto aus nach Tokyo kommt und sich dort als Assistent in einem Comiczeichner-Team verdingt - und natürlich um zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen, ob beim Zeichnen im Studio, draußen in der Stadt oder im Nachtleben Tokyos. Nicht nur thematisch und erzählerisch, auch grafisch ist dies eines der schönsten Taniguchi-Bücher
Texto de presentación:
Kioto, 1966. El joven Hamaguchi trabaja en una fábrica de textiles. Cansado de no poder satisfacer su pasión por el dibujo, se despide y se marcha a Tokio. Allí, un estudio de manga le ofrece una oportunidad, al mismo tiempo que descubre la vida nocturna y los ambientes artísticos de la ciudad. Pero el trabajo de ayudante de mangaka es extenuante y Hamaguchi pronto se da cuenta de la dificultad de encontrar tiempo y energía para dedicarse a su propia obra.

Por primera vez, Jiro Taniguchi recuerda sus primeros pasos como mangaka y su juventud en el Tokio de los años 60. Una magnífica historia sobre el aprendizaje, donde toda la delicadeza y elegancia del autor se unen para ilustrar las primeras emociones de la edad adulta.
Testo della bandella:
Kyoto, 1966. Hamaguchi, impiegato di un’azienda tessile, si sente diverso da tutti gli altri ragazzi; basti pensare che al circolo sportivo, meta prediletta dei suoi coetanei, il ragazzo preferisce lo zoo, dove passa buona parte del proprio tempo a ritrarre dal vivo gli animali. Ma la sua passione per il disegno è talmente forte da sopportare appena i ristretti confini della vita di provincia, e presto Hamaguchi deciderà di partire per Tokyo, dove finirà per imbattersi in una comunità di professionisti un po' particolare: quella degli autori di fumetto, i mangaka...
