| Asterios Polyp Non ho il tempo necessario per fare un commento a questa graphic novel, se non dicendo che è davvero un capolavoro. Vi lascio wiki a darvi qualche informazione in più. "The title character, Asterios Polyp, is a professor and architect of Greek descent who teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. After a lightning strike burns down the building in which he lives, he leaves the city and takes up employment in a small town (chosen seemingly at random) as an auto mechanic. The novel is interspersed with scenes from his past, including his childhood and troubled marriage, as well as more fantastical scenes (including those narrated by his stillborn twin brother, Ignazio). Asterios' Greek heritage is explored in multiple places, including belief in the Greek gods, a re-telling of Orpheus' descent into the underworld, and reference to him teaching in the town of Ithaca (and its Greek namesake). Asterios sees the world in black and white, with all things in a duality opposing each other, and much of the novel deals with the way in which his worldview changes. Examples include the presence of his dead twin brother, his teaching style (emphasizing decorative vs. functional), characterizing music as rhythmic or melodic, etc." Purtroppo sul mercato italiano non credo si trovi; rimane sempre la possibilità dell'acquisto on-line. | |
