En el fondo habla de cómo nos adaptamos a las personas que nos encontramos en el camino, cómo estas nos hacen cambiar, lo difícil (y maravilloso) que es encontrar una persona con la que sea fácil adaptarse y que nos ayude a salir de nuestro caparazón y nos haga ver que las cosas no son siempre o blancas o negras, que en medio hay muchos matices.

Really beautiful, smart and heart-touching story of an architecture professor who, when he is 50, learns better. Themes [ edit ] Mazzucchelli sketching the titular character in a fan's copy of the book at a June 2012 signing at Midtown Comics in Manhattan.La historia no es nada nuevo, es la de un hombre que pasa por una crisis y acaba perdiéndolo todo, porque sólo perdiéndolo todo se dará cuenta de qué es lo realmente importante, y sólo así podrá cambiar. Alışıldık çizgi roman fontunun dışında her karaktere ayrı bir font verilmiş ve tahminimce fontlar (ben öyle yaptım) karakterlerin genel duruşu hakkında bir okuma, anlatıya çizgilerin dışında bir portre kurulmasını sağlıyor. Mazzucchelli experiments with numerous art styles and pushes the envelope with challenging digressions into philosophy, religion and mortality throughout Polyp’s tale. Asterios Polyp is his first graphic novel, and has won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and been listed as a New York Times notable book. And yes, I understand that this review is more or less doing the same thing - isn't this supposed to be about a book?

Hikaye geçişlerindeki renk kurguları, hikayenin zamansal olarak sadece karelere bölünmüş bir şekilde yaşatılmaması da diğer bir güzelliği. Asterios' Greek heritage is one of many allusions to the story of Orpheus and Euridice, a recurring theme throughout the book. Later his feet hurt; his supposed vaunting of the functional is seen to be foolishly subordinate to form, disrupting his pet theory that in the finest design the two are one and the same. Numa primeira leitura, você provavelmente não vai pegar todas as referências, porque é provavelmente impossível.E' ossessionato da una visione assolutamente dicotomica delle cose, che vengono viste sempre e comunque come distinte e in contrapposizione: marito e moglie, maschile e femminile, astratto e concreto, reale e ideale, architettura teorica verso quella creata, linea e forma, solido e liquido, presente e passato. Mazzucchelli's work has all but abandoned the realistic musculature and architecture that made him stand out from his superhero peers. Não sou nem eu que digo isso, Scott McCloud grande teorico dessa mídia, compartilha das mesmas palavras sobre o quadrinho.
