Shogo's mother has mentally abused him and her "dates" have physically abused him. This has lead to a hatred of love on his part. He acts out and lands in a mental institution. His strong feelings have caught the attention of the Gods. They punish him to keep experiencing life over and over, always meeting his true love, but both of them dying tragic deaths before they can do anything about it. Shogo does seem to finally learn the Gods lessons, but the punishment has been set and the life will continue. ( ) This was a moving book.

I picked this one up by chance and I finished it in a single one hour setting thoroughly impressed with the depth, talent, and vision of Tezuka's story and illustrations. Apollo's Song, humorous but also visceral throughout, per Tezuka's style, is not only an epic morality tale on the meaning of love, an ancient Greek tragedy, a modern psychological tale, but it's also a manifesto on the inescapable essentialness of human nature. That is, humans are biological organisms that are created and/or formed through love and regardless of how and why some individuals reject love the necessity of love, e.g. maternal or romantic, remains constant and essential for life. On the issue of the Moomin, I can confirm it's existence in Chapter 2, "No Man's Land." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesApollo's Song (1-2) Contiene
OR NOT TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL... From a boxcar bound for a Nazi concentration camp to a dystopian future where humans are persecuted by their own clones, Apollo's Song reaches Olympian heights of tragedy as it explores the meaning of love and the consequences of its absence. Salty, romantic, and at times profoundly erotic, the ambiguities of its poetic justice will plumb new depths of the heart with each rereading. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
