Representaion Toward Books Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 1 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #1)
In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a miasma of poisonous spores into the air. At the periphery of the sea, tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens; a nation given fragile protection from the decaying sea's poisons by the ocean breezes; and home to Nausicaä . Nausicaä, a young princess, has an emphatic bond with the giant Ohmu insects and animals of every creed. She fights to create tolerance, understanding and patience among empires that are fighting over the world's remaining precious natural resources.Declare Books To Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 1 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #1)

This review is for the entire 7 vol. series (and so not limited to the 1st vol. in scope)I wish I wasn't restricted to giving just 5 stars to this cruelly ignored masterpiece.Seldom have I been so hooked to a book and enraptured by its power, epic storytelling with a strong human touch. Not since Brave New World and Heart of Darkness (books that are considered among the best of the 20th century) have I pondered so much on the ending and the philosophical questions raised by it. It is naive andThe first volume of the series offers much familiar to fan of Miyazaki's films: fast-paced action, whimsy and magic. However, in this science fiction story this is combined with wonderfully original dystopian world and strong political undercurrents that are discussed through a strong female protagonist (of course, nothing new to a fan of Miyazaki).Nausicaä is a princess of a city as it is called, or rather one of the remaining human communities surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. Humans have
I will start out by saying that you could slap a sticker printed with from Hayao Miyazaki! on any form of entertainment and I guarantee I'll enjoy it.So I haven't seen the movie, but that will soon change as I just purchased a copy. I'll be stuffing popcorn in my mouth come next weekend. I also just learned that this is book 1 of a 7 book series, as long as I have my volumes correct. Count on me to purchase something for the name and then not have the rest of the series on hand when I really
I've been watching studio Ghibli movies since I was 5. reading this just makes me love studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki even more!! and it gives me so much more insight into the movie itself!!! LOVE(Also it's a post-apocalyptic world! (Way post though, I think it's hundreds of years) but it's so cool! (There also so many different themes in this, ones that I think aren't appreciated enough as things that Miyazaki writes about and put in his movies)That is a MESS but I hope I at least get me
I've never seen the movie, and didn't even know that it was a manga - let alone by Miyazaki himself - until very recently. Finally decided to give it a read, and so far I haven't regretted the time spent on this endeavor.It's a solid beginning for a story, with an imaginitive and wondrous setting, high stakes, several shades of moral grey, and strong characterization. All stuff we've come to expect from the author. I'll look forward to see where this goes.
You may be familiar with this title from watching Hayao Miyazaki's film of the same name. The film originated as a manga series, also by Miyazaki. It was released several years ago in a "Perfect Collection" of four volumes. That version wasn't actually perfect, so Viz re-released it in 2004 as a seven volume series which preserved the original format of the manga (back to front, if you don't live in Japan), as well as many other aspects of the original, including the ink color (dark brown) and
I didn't know that there was a manga for Nausicaä so this was a great discovery! I can't wait to see what happens in volume 2! I really liked how the manga goes more in depth with the world building.
