Description

Blurb:
China is a lovely young woman, the kind of beauty people write songs about or name stars after. She`s as spectacular as Fourth-of-July fireworks and as striking as lightning, and Jim Floyd -- the technical assistant to the crazed Professor Breckenridge -- just got struck! In fact, he`d give China the moon if he could. Odd thing is, he can. So that`s just what he intends to do. Spirit of Wonder is a delightfully touching tale by one of Japan`s most respected manga masters.
Klappentexte:
Ein Transmitter für eine Reise zum Mond, ein Roboter als Hausmädchen oder eine Zeitmaschine - meist sind es solche Dinge, die Kenji Tsuruta in seine Geschichten einbaut und so Realität mit fremden Welten verschmelzen lässt. Tsuruta entführt in Welten, die auf den ersten Blick völlig gewöhnlich erscheinen und erst bei genauerer Betrachtung mit dem Fantastischen aufwarten. Und auch, wenn es immer technisches Gerät ist, das den Science Fiction Aspekt bei Tsuruta ausmacht, liegt die Gewichtung doch niemals auf der Technik selbst, sondern auf ihrer Funktion, den Menschen, die sie erfunden haben, und den Menschen, denen mit ihr geholfen werden kann. Wie und ob Zeitreisen überhaupt möglich sein können, ist hier vollkommen nebensächlich, wenn der alte, leicht verwirrte Professor seine Maschine in seiner kleinen Werkstatt zusammenschraubt. Wichtig ist also nur die Faszination des Unglaublichen - der »Spirit of Wonder«
Texto de presentación:
Un transmisor para viajar a la luna, un robot como chacha o una máquina del tiempo. Éstas son las cosas que Kenji Tsuruta mezcla en sus historias ambientadas en misdos que, a primera vista, parecen absolutamente normales. Pero al fijarnos un poco empezamos a ver que rebosan de fantasía por los cuatro costados, de una ciencia-ficción totalmente inventada por el autor, aunque lo importante no está en la propia técnica, sino en su función y en las pesonas que la han creado y a las que puede ayudar.
Si se puede o no viajar en el tiempo, no importa tanto aquí como el anciano y despistado profesor que monta la fantástica máquina.
Lo importante es la fascinación, la capacidad de maravillarse ante las cosas.
Testo della bandella:
Miss China è una bella ragazza che affitta una stanza al geniale Professor Breckenridge e al suo assistente Jim Floyd. I due squattrinati non riescono tuttavia a pagare l’affitto, visto che spendono tutti i loro averi per creare folli invenzioni. Ma fra Jim e Miss China il rapporto diventa sempre più speciale...
