Icaro: 2

Byron Preiss Graphic Novels

Icaro is the mind-bending, fast-paced adventure of a young man, Icaro, with the ability to fly and a young woman, Yukiko, who risks her life—and more—to help Icaro achieve his dream. Best of all, it capitalizes on Taniguchi's ability to depict a vast and oppressive advanced science laboratory that has made Icaro its guinea pig and will use all its resources to keep him imprisoned for study. Icaro's fight to be free and Yukiko's sacrifice to aid him in his quest make this one of the most inspiring manga stories and one of the first significant original manga collaborations between East and West.

Acclaimed manga artist Jiro Taniguchi provides the latest entry in the Louvre collection of graphic novels. After a group trip to Europe, a Japanese artist stops in Paris alone, intent on visiting the museums of the capital. But, bedridden in his hotel room with fever, he faces the absolute solitude of one suffering in a foreign land, deprived of any immediate or familiar recourse. When the fever breaks somewhat, he sets out on his visit and promptly gets lost in the crowded halls of the Louvre. Very soon, he discovers many unsuspected facets to this world in a museum in a journey oscillating between feverish hallucination and reality, actually able to speak with famous painters from various periods of history, led to crossroads between human and personal history by... the Guardians of the Louvre.

 From the Back Cover 
1967. Ken'ichi, 11 ans, orphelin de père, passe l'été dans la ville provinciale de Tottori, en compagnie de sa petite soeur et de ses grands-parents. Bien que ce soit les vacances, l'ambiance est pesante : la mère de Ken'ichi vient d'être hospitalisée pour une grave maladie. C'est dans ce contexte de tensions et de menaces, alors que le garçon esseulé erre chaque jour sans but dans les ruines d'une bâtisse perchée sur la montagne de Tottori, réputé héberger des créatures fantastiques, que Ken'ichi vit une expérience extraordinaire. Il est "contacté" télépathiquement par une grande salamandre, captive d'un vivarium au musée local... L'animal lui propose un pacte : exaucer n'importe lequel de ses voeux si le garçon lui redonne la liberté et lui permet de regagner son royaume, sous la montagne du château, où jaillit une source merveilleuse... La sensibilité et l'humanisme de Taniguchi conjugués à la mémoire magique et éblouie de l'enfance : un enchantement.
