Information

Description

In a jungle in Africa right on the equator there was a white lion, Panja, who was called the "Emperor of the Jungle." But Panja is killed by a hunter. His wife, the Queen of Jungle, who has been caught by the hunter, gives birth to the son of Panja on a ship bringing them to a zoo. She names her son "Leo" and has him escape from the ship, saying, "Go back to Africa and become the successor of your father." Then a storm comes and the ship is overturned, and sinks with the Queen on it. Leo is washed up on the beach of a port town in the Arabian Peninsula, not Africa. This is where Leo’s long adventure begins.

Klappentext:
Im tiefen Dschungel Afrikas gilt das Gesetz des Stärkeren. Das Leben der wilden Tiere ist vom Kampf mit der Natur und der Bedrohung durch den Menschen bestimmt. Ein kleiner weißer Löwe, der Sohn von Panja, dem einstigen König des Dschungels, ist dazu auserwählt, den Tieren den Frieden zu bringen. Kann er diese schier unlösbare Aufgabe bewältigen?
Texte du rabat
Retrouvez enfin l’édition française d’une des pièces maîtresses de l’ouvre du Père du manga, Osamu Tezuka, qui inspira très largement Le Roi Lion, le classique de Walt Disney. Au début du XXe siècle, dans les plaines de l’immensité du continent africain, celui que les peuples indigènes surnomment “le démon Pandja” terrorise les Hommes. Ce lion majestueux n’est autre que le protecteur des animaux de la forêt contre les cruels braconniers. À cet égard, chacun le considère comme le Roi de la jungle. Doté d’une intelligence supérieure, Pandja déjoue sans mal les plans des perfides chasseurs, jusqu’au jour où ceux-ci capturent sa femelle pour l’attirer dans un piège mortel. Mais le trône de ce lion puissant et courageux trouvera son digne successeur en Léo, fils de Pandja et futur Roi de la jungle!

Testo della bandella:

Pubblicato per la prima volta su «Manga Shonen» tra il 1950 e il 1954, e apparso in versione animata nel 1965, Kimba (Jungle Taitei, “Imperatore della giungla”), è il romanzo della vita di un leone bianco il cui padre è stato ucciso da cacciatori ottusi e senza scrupoli, e che ancora cucciolo viene investito della carica di Imperatore dii una giungla minacciata dalla colonizzazione umana. Kimba è forse l’opera di Tezuka più nota e più imitata, ma rimane inimitabile per la sensibilità ecologista con cui condanna la pretesa di dominio dell’uomo sulla natura.
