The "Brief Lives" storyline is significantly longer and more personal than some of the more adventure-centric fun of earlier stories. I didn’t expect a lot from the little ten-page “Fear of Falling”, but I forget how good Gaiman is with shorts. For example, I adore The Doll’s House and A Game of You, which are two of the supposedly female arcs, and I don’t feel excluded or left out (I didn’t even feel like I wasn’t the target audience). Tercer volumen de uno de los cómics de Sandman escrito por Neil Gaiman y dibujado por bastantes artistas de distintos estilos.

It's a marvellous adventure until Coraline discovers that there's also another mother and another father in the house. When Coraline explores her new home, she steps through a door and into another house just like her own - except that it's different. Interestingly, I was expecting a big payoff at the end of "Brief Lives" because it's the central narrative, but you really don't get it until the end of all the disjointed stories.Narratives in narratives in narratives, nesting to an almost Conrad-like level where the very idea that one person is telling this to a crowd of strangers in an Inn was ridiculous. It brings the theme of change (as suggested by other arcs like Lucifer’s abandonment of Hell in Season of Mists and the reshaping and destruction of a dreamscape in A Game of You) very much to the fore.

Now he reaches back through time to the original source stories in a thrilling and vivid rendition of the great Norse tales. And it provides a nice contrast between the Dream of olden times and the Dream of modern times, in how they relate to Orpheus. He travels to Hell against the wishes of Morpheus with the help of Destruction (another of the Endless). It turns out he got caught in a reality storm and is now at an Inn between realms, the Inn at the End of the World.The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. After that comes Ramadan, probably my favorite single issue short story that I read in Sandman up until now. Gaiman's gods are thoroughly alive on the page - irascible, visceral, playful, passionate - and the tales carry us from the beginning of everything to Ragnarok and the twilight of the gods. The great Norse myths are woven into the fabric of our storytelling - from Tolkien, Alan Garner and Rosemary Sutcliff to Game of Thrones and Marvel Comics. Dozivim kaos, manje odusevljenja jer sam sad vec razmazena i daj mi sve sto mi pripada i daj mi to odmah :) Gaiman ne reagira.

Brief Lives" is bookended by one-shot views of how dreams effect history, mythology and the way our stories are told and remembered.It’s also a nice touch that Gaiman lets us follow some of the mortals touched by the story – showing us the consequences of the actions taken in this brief spell.
