How Do You Live?
Author: Genzaburo Yoshino
Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers
ISBN: 1643751611
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The first English translation of the classic Japanese novel that has sold over 2 million copies—a childhood favorite of anime master Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle), with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. First published in 1937, Genzaburō Yoshino’s How Do You Live? has long been acknowledged in Japan as a crossover classic for young readers. Academy Award–winning animator Hayao Miyazaki has called it his favorite childhood book and announced plans to emerge from retirement to make it the basis of his final film. How Do You Live? is narrated in two voices. The first belongs to Copper, fifteen, who after the death of his father must confront inevitable and enormous change, including his own betrayal of his best friend. In between episodes of Copper’s emerging story, his uncle writes to him in a journal, sharing knowledge and offering advice on life’s big questions as Copper begins to encounter them. Over the course of the story, Copper, like his namesake Copernicus, looks to the stars, and uses his discoveries about the heavens, earth, and human nature to answer the question of how he will live. This first-ever English-language translation of a Japanese classic about finding one’s place in a world both infinitely large and unimaginably small is perfect for readers of philosophical fiction like The Alchemist and The Little Prince, as well as Miyazaki fans eager to understand one of his most important influences.

The Films of Akira Kurosawa
Author: Donald Richie
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520220374
Category : Motion picture producers and directors
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Film scholars and enthusiasts will welcome this new edition of Donald Richie's incomparable study, last updated in 1984. The Method section, filmography, and bibliography contain new information, and Richie has added chapters on Ran, Dreams, Rhapsody in August, and Madadayo. Kurosawa's films display an extraordinary breadth and an astonishing strength, from the philosophic and sexual complexity of Rashomon to the moral dedication of Ikiru, from the naked violence of Seven Samurai to the savage comedy of Yojimbo, from the terror-filled feudalism of Throne of Blood to the piercing wit of Sanjuro. Running through all Kurosawa's work is a tough, humane, and profoundly ethical concern for the painful, beautiful, frequently ridiculous ambiguities of human life.

Book Description
Nathan Ota has gained a following over the last 20 years for his prolific work as an illustrator, painter and grafitti aritst. The surrealist world he creates contains recurring figures like a blind bird in a striped dunce hat, a gelatinous robot and a sprouting egg. Dark and engaging, this is a world of struggle that continues to clash and commune within each new painting. Ota combines his early influences of vintage comic books, punk rock fliers and his grafitti-obsessed high school years with formal training at the Art Center College of Design.
