Miyazakiworld Zusammenfassung

Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art Susan Napier

The story of filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki's life and work, including his significant impact on Japan and the world-an essential work in anime scholarship. (Angelica Frey, Hyperallergic)

A thirtieth-century toxic jungle, a bathhouse for tired gods, a red-haired fish girl, and a furry woodland spirit-what do these have in common? They all spring from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki, one of the greatest living animators, known worldwide for films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and The Wind Rises.

Japanese culture and animation scholar Susan Napier explores the life and art of this extraordinary Japanese filmmaker to provide a definitive account of his oeuvre. Napier insightfully illuminates the multiple themes crisscrossing his work, from empowered women to environmental nightmares to utopian dreams, creating an unforgettable portrait of a man whose art challenged Hollywood dominance and ushered in a new chapter of global popular culture.

Miyazakiworld Bewertungen

Packed with interesting details about the filmmaker's life, interests, and inspirations.-Mark Jenkins, Washington Post

The celebrated Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki came out of retirement last year, making this compact study of his life and work especially timely.-John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle (Holiday Gift Guide selection)

Susan Napier eloquently defines Miyazaki as an auteur who creates immersive animated realms that vary from film to film but are joined by a consistent (albeit evolving) worldview and tropes . . . An essential work in anime scholarship.-Angelica Frey, Hyperallergic


Enjoyable and enlightening book. - Claire Kohda Hazelton, Times Literary Supplement

A refreshing, intimate, highly original look at Miyazaki Hayao's oeuvre, including early anime features, mainstream hits and the many-volumed manga, Nausicaa. Miyazaki is placed firmly on the world stage, including both local roots and global impact.-Rachael Hutchinson, University of Delaware


An insightful, fascinating, and revealing study of Miyazaki and his worlds by one of the world's foremost experts in Japanese animated films, Miyazakiworld is a true achievement.-Karen Thornber, Harvard University

Providing expert guidance to the radically inventive mysteries of Hayao Miyazaki's films, Susan Napier shows exactly how Japan's master of animation taps into the wonders of the natural world yet also faces down our demons, exploring trauma, crisis, and the willful destruction of our made world. Like his literary and cinematic forebears, Miyazaki creates a form of wonderlore that reveals the power of art to animate, not just his characters and landscapes, but also his audiences.-Maria Tatar, author of The Annotated Brothers Grimm

In Miyazakiworld, Susan Napier demonstrates her gift for narrative and passion for enchantment in exploring the spacetime between the fantasy worlds of Hayao Miyazaki's creation and the grittier worlds that created him.-Jennifer Robertson, author of Robo Sapiens Japanicus

This wonderful, lively book introduces the whole life and career of Miyazaki via commentary on the narratives and themes within his films, and some manga, and his personal life.-Sharon Kinsella, The University of Manchester
