Synopsis "The Graveyard Book"

The 10th anniversary edition of The Graveyard Book includes a foreword by Margaret Atwood as well as sketches from the illustrator, handwritten drafts, and Neil Gaiman's Newbery acceptance speech. IT TAKES A GRAVEYARD TO RAISE A CHILD.Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy--an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack--who has already killed Bod's family.The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work ever to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals.

Neil Gaiman (Portchester, England, 1960) is one of the most influential and versatile writers in contemporary literature, known for transforming the fantasy genre with his unique imagination and fresh approach to narrative. From a young age, Gaiman showed an intense passion for reading, devouring everything from Tolkien and C.S. Lewis classics to comics, which marked his creative path.

Gaiman began his career as a journalist and was decisively influenced by his encounter with screenwriter Alan Moore, which led him to write comics alongside artist Dave McKean, with whom he created the graphic novel Violent Cases. Later, he was hired by DC Comics to reimagine Sandman, turning a secondary character into a masterpiece of adult comics. He has also collaborated with Terry Pratchett on the novel Good Omens (1990) and has worked as a screenwriter on series like Doctor Who.

Winner of prestigious awards such as the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, and Locus, and a member of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, Neil Gaiman is a versatile author who combines mythology, fantasy, and a unique narrative style, achieving a lasting impact both in literature and popular culture.

El pedido se retrasó por temas de importación, pero en buscalibre tuvieron muy buena disposición y solucionaron el problema. Lo compré en inglés por el precio y no me arrepiento, es un libro hermoso desde la textura de las tapas, el relieve del título, hasta los dibujos. La historia es hermosa y sus personajes entrañables, viene con introducción de Margaret Atwood, y material adicional como páginas manuscritas por Gaiman. Es primera vez que leo una historia de Neil Gaiman y debo decir que me ha encantado. Recomiendo totalmente comprar este libro.

El libro es muy bueno, las ilustraciones son hermosas, es una muy buena edición. El único "pero" es que el material de la portada y contraportada es muy frágil, se raya con facilidad, los bordes y el lomo quedaron rápidamente con lineas blancas, a pesar de haber cuidado muy bien el libro. Por esta razón, pienso que vale la pena comprarlo cuando está en oferta.
