Eerie traditional Japanese ghost stories retold in a graphic novel format.Over one hundred years ago, the writer Lafcadio Hearn gathered and translated into English a selection of traditional Japanese ghost/mystery stories. They were published as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things. In this new graphic novel, acclaimed manga creator Sean Michael Wilson retells six of these stories. All of them are very well known in Japan, where ghosts and demons are often called yokai, meaning "the mysterious and weird." Today these stories find expression mostly in movies and manga, but they remain rooted in the traditional ghost stories of the Edo era known as kaidan, which means "recited narrative of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching apparitions." Â Â Â Â The book includes an afterword by William Scott Wilson, the esteemed translator and editor of Japanese texts and samurai philosophy, who puts the stories into historical context.A 2016Â YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens Recommendation

Nechte se strhnout děsivými příběhy Mangy Jókai! Tyto klasické japonské pověsti jsou založeny na příbězích, které napsal slavný autor Lafcadio Hearn mezi lety 1890 až 1904. Oceňovaný komiksový spisovatel Sean Michael, mimo jiné Hearnův velký obdivovatel, se rozhodl některé z nich převyprávět a výsledkem je Jókai Manga! V ní najdete hned sedm nejznámějších klasických pověstí, mezi nimi například: Tajemství ze záhrobí: Mladá žena vyděsí svoji rodinu, když se vrátí jako duch. Nedokáže najít klid, dokud nebude pryč ono šokující tajemství, které po sobě zanechala. Nuke-kubi: Samuraj bez pána se rozhodne přečkat noc v domě jednoho laskavého muže, aniž by tušil, že mu brzy půjde o život. Bude mít totiž co dočinění s bezhlavými skřety! Dívka z obrazu: Mladý muž si pořídí obraz krásné dívky a jeho prvotní zalíbení dosáhne nezdravé posedlosti. Ale copak může dál vést obyčejný život? Mrtvý jezdec: Mrtvá žena se rozhodne pomstít muži, který se s ní rozvedl. A on velice rychle zjistí, že cena, kterou musí zaplatit, aby se dostal z jejích spárů, je přinejmenším bláznivá! Atmosféru jednotlivých příběhů dokreslují úžasné ilustrace od japonské umělkyně Inko Ai Takita z Velké Británie. Autentický zážitek umocňuje i tradiční japonský způsob čtení – odzadu dopředu.

Assembled by educator James Baldwin, a specialist in adapting ancient narratives into captivating prose, these 38 entrancing tales are drawn from the oral traditions of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala.The Kalevala spans many ages, from the beginning of the earth to the remote past, long before its legends were sung and chanted in humble homes and grand palaces alike. Its tales of heroes and gods center on the fate of a sampo, a highly prized and jealously guarded magical artifact. J. R. R. Tolkien was much influenced by this fantasy cycle of the Far North, and readers of all ages continue to fall under its spell. This edition of the beloved classic features four magnificent illustrations by N. C. Wyeth.

For over a decade Luke Fletcher has been a firm fan favourite at Trent Bridge. This 6''6" gentle giant never gives less than 100 per cent for Nottinghamshire, but a laugh and a joke are never far from his lips. Within the space of a week in 2017 he went from the highs of winning a Lord''s cup final to suffering a serious injury. As with most events in his life, the incidents provided scope for his infectious humour, much of it self-deprecating. An uncanny ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and his on-off relationship with the strength and conditioning gurus has often landed him in hot water, providing ammunition for witty comebacks. But although a clever quip is never far away, the broad-beamed paceman has earned the respect of everyone in the game. He has played against - and got the better of - virtually every opponent he has faced and has a career record to be proud of. In Tales from the Front Line, ''Fletch'' serves up laughs aplenty as he takes us on an anecdotal journey through our summer game.
