Description

Blurb:
The Meija Era (1868-1912) was probably the most defining period in Japanese history. It was a time of massive change from the more traditional; Takugawa era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world. Contemporary writer, Soseki Natsume, suffered due to all the social and cultural changes and expressed his feelings through his character Botchan, a classic in the vein of Mark Twain or Charles Dickens.
Texto de presentación:
Antes no sentía ningun interés en particular por la era Meiji. Más tarde, tras la propuesta de un editor, leí un guión de Sekikawa y lo encontré bastante interesante. Más que interesante, era fascinante. Cuando leí la historia me pareció algo totalmente nuevo, no recordaba haver visto algo similar en un manga. Así comenzó este libro. La era Meiji es muy importante para nosotros, es la era que estableció los fundamentos de lo que es el Japón actual, tal y como lo conocemos. Me interesaba transmitir las sensaciones que había percibido en las páginas de Sekikawa. Quería plasmar un aire más limpio, transparente. Y para representar este tipo de impalpabilidad he tenido que inventarme una forma diferente de dibujar
Texte du rabat
Tôkyô, novembre 1905.
L’ère Meiji a commencé une trentaine d’années auparavant, propulsant le Japon dans l’ère moderne. Jamais sans doute un pays n’avait connu d’aussi profondes transformations en aussi peu de temps. C’est dans ce contexte, à la fois totalement chamboulé et intensément japonais, que l’écrivain Natsume Soseki, rentré d’Angleterre, entreprend la rédaction de son oeuvre la plus célèbre : Botchan

Il aura fallu douze ans à Jirô Taniguchi et Natsuo Sekikawa pour achever les cinq volumes de la vaste fresque qu’est Au temps de Botchan. Publiée au Japon à compter de 1987, et traduite une première fois en français à partir de 2002 dans une édition (trop) discrète, cette œuvre forte est ici proposée en sens de lecture occidentale, dans le cadre de la collection Écritures.
Testo della bandella:
Una minuziosa ricostruzione del Giappone dell’epoca Meiji periodo in cui andava in voga il termine "signorino" (Bocchan), Osservato con lo sguardo limpido di chi sa che si gettavano le basi per il Giappone moderno con l’apertura all’occidente e le nuove problematiche, Ai tempi di Bocchan e' il racconto avvincente di un epoca perduta e il racconto della vita di Natsume Soseki, uno dei piu' grandi scrittori del Sol Levante. Raccontato con la sensibilita' e la precisione che hanno reso Taniguchi leggendario. Un affresco storico e una vicenda personale che si intrecciano in questo manga imperdibile, un manga che ha il respiro del vero romanzo, indispensabile nella collezione di ogni appassionato, pubblicato nel verso di lettura originale, in una confezione raffinata che riproduce fedelmente l’edizione giapponese.
