Cixin Liu's Yuanyuan's Bubbles A Graphic Novel

Podrobný popis

O komikse v slovenčine:

Medzinárodná spolupráca 26 spisovateľov a ilustrátorov z 14 rôznych krajín premenila 15 ocenených príbehov Cixin Liua, "čínskej odpovede na Arthura C. Clarkea" (New Yorker), na grafické romány.

Yuanyuan mala päť mesiacov, keď prvýkrát videla bubliny. V tom momente jej oči zažiarili jasom, ktorý prevyšoval slnko a hviezdy, a cítila, že svet vidí prvýkrát naozaj. Od toho dňa bol jej životným snom vyfúknuť čo najväčšiu bublinu.

Yuanyuanin otec jej sen neschvaľuje. Obáva sa, že posadnutosť jeho dcéry je detská a príliš prchavá, a túži, aby svoj intelekt venovala povolaniu, ktoré by mohlo pomôcť ľuďom. Ich mesto umiera, ale Yuanyuan sa zameriava výlučne na fúkanie väčších a väčších bublín. Keď sa však Yuanyuan naučí vytvoriť bublinu veľkosti mesta, možno ešte väčšiu, možno predsa len jej posadnutosť nie je taká neužitočná.

O komikse v angličtine:

An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu's 'China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (New Yorker) award-winning stories into graphic novels.

Yuanyuan was five months old when she saw bubbles for the first time. In that moment, her eyes lit up with a radiance that outshone the sun and stars, and she felt she truly saw the world for the first time. From that day on, her life's one dream was to blow the biggest bubbles possible.

Yuanyuan's father doesn't approve of her dream. He fears his daughter's obsession is childish and too fleeting for his daughter, and longs for her to turn her intelligence to a calling that might help people. Their city is dying, but Yuanyuan focuses solely on blowing bigger and bigger bubbles. But when Yuanyuan learns to create a bubble the size of a city greater even it may be that her obsession isn't so unhelpful after all.
