Rate this book
Avec Paradis, les lecteurs français découvriront un domaine encore inexploré du genre manga, aux antipodes de la production pour adolescents.
Ces sept histoires se déroulent dans le bassin minier de Chikuhô, région de l’île de Kyûshû et pays natal de l’auteur. La misère de la mine est universelle et nul doute que les mines lorraines, anglaises ou silésiennes connaissent aussi ces personnages rêvant de soleil et finissant par se contenter de la chaleur de la lune.

About the author

Shin'ichi Abe

19 books4 followers
Shin'ichi Abe (Tagawa, 1950), one of the most interesting authors of alternative manga, began publishing in the magazine Garo in the 1970's. His autobiographical works mostly portray young men with sparse beards struggling for love and art. He was one of the authors who fostered the image of the manga artist as a romantic and tormented figure among readers. In 2009, Tsubota Yoshifumi adapted his short story "Miyoko's Feelings in Asagaya" for the big screen.
