Description: The Book of Human Insects by Osamu Tezuka Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From the godfather of manga comes one of his wickedest tales. Publisher Description The Book of Human Insects is recognized as Tezukas most cinematic title. Reading much like a thriller, this title has more twists and turns than MW and features a timeless leading lady.Toshiko Tomura is a genius; the darling of the intelligentsia. A modern-day Michelangelo, this twenty year-old is already an established international stage actress, an up-and-coming architect, and the next recipient of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize as Japans best new writer. Her actions make headlines in the papers, and inspire radio and television programming. And like many great talents, her troubled past is what motivates her to greatness. She has the amazing ability to emulate the talents of others.Toshiko is also the mastermind behind a series of murders. The ultimate mimic, she has plagiarized, blackmailed, stolen and replicated the works of scores of talents. And now as her star is rising within the world of the elites and powerful she has amassed a long list of enemies frustrated by the fact that she has built critical and financial acclaim for nothing more than copying others work. Neglected as a child, she is challenging the concepts of gender inequality while unleashing her loneliness upon the world as she climbs the social ladder one body at a time.One of Osamu Tezukas most wicked tales, The Book of Human Insects renders the 70s as a brutal and often polarizing bug-eat-bug world, where only those willing to sell their soul to the masses and become something less than human are capable of achieving their wildest dreams Author Biography Osamu Tezuka was born on November 3, 1928, in Osaka. He grew up in an open-minded family exposed to comics and Walt Disney. As a boy he also had a love for insects, which he would later as a grown-up incorporate into pen name. Having developed an intense understanding of the preciousness of life from his wartime experience, Osamu Tezuka aimed to become a physician and later earned his degree in medicine, but ultimately chose the profession he loved best- manga artist and animated film writer.Tezukas manga and animated films had a tremendous impact on the shaping of the psychology of Japans postwar youth. His work changed the concept of Japanese comics, transforming it into an art form and incorporating a variety of new styles in creating the "story cartoon." Osamu Tezuka lived out his entire life tirelessly pursuing his efforts, passing away at the age of 60 on February 8, 1989.In all, Tezuka produced more than 150,000 pages of graphic storytelling before his death. Posthumously Tezukas work have won a number of awards in the U.S., including the 2009 Eisner Award given to his series Dororo.
