Description

Blurb:
Shinmen Takezo is destined to become the legendary sword-saint, Miyamoto Musashi – perhaps the most renowned samurai of all time. For now, Takezo is a cold-hearted killer, who will take on anyone in mortal combat to make a name for himself. This is the journey of a wild young brute who strives to reach enlightenment by way of the sword –fighting on the edge of death.
17. Jahrhundert, Sengoku-Ära in Japan. Shinmen Takezou wird aufgrund seiner wilden und gewalttätigen Natur von den Dorfbewohnern gemieden und als Teufelskind bezeichnet. Mit 17 läuft er gemeinsam mit einem anderen Jungen von zu Hause weg und tritt der Toyotomi Armee bei, um mit ihr in der Schlacht von Sekigahara gegen den Tokugawa-Clan zu kämpfen. Die Schlacht endet jedoch mit einem überwältigenden Sieg der Tokugawa, was drei Jahrhunderte Shogunat zur Folge haben wird. Takezou und seinem Freund gelingt es zu überleben und sie schwören sich von nun an große Dinge zu vollbringen. Nachdem sich ihre Wege getrennt haben, wird aus Takezou jedoch ein gesuchter Verbrecher, der seinen Namen und seine Natur ändern muss, um einen unehrenhaften Tod zu entgehen.

Anmerkung:
Vagabond basiert auf dem Buch Musashi von Eiji Yoshikawa und ist eine fiktionale Erzählung des Lebens von Miyamoto Mushashi, der oft als »Heiliger des Schwerts« bezeichnet wird und vielleicht der bekannteste und erfolgreichste Schwertkämpfer in Japans Geschichte ist.
Texto de presentación:
Cuenta la historia del legendario espadachín Musashi Miyamoto, la figura histórica más importante del Japón en lo que se refiere al desarrollo de las técnicas de lucha con espada. Al comienzo de la historia vemos al protagonista como un violento e iracundo joven llamado Takezo, el cual sobrevive (aun estando del lado perdedor) a una de las batallas más sangrientas de la historia: Sekigahara. Luego de que su vida da un giro gracias a la intervención de un monje llamado Takuan, el joven Takezo cambia su nombre a Musashi y se embarca en una búsqueda de autosuperación personal que lo llevará a enfrentarse con los más grandes expertos de las artes marciales del país.
Así poco a poco, con sangre y sudor, va construyendo su propia leyenda, la del verdadero «vagabundo» más poderoso de todo Japón.
Testo della bandella:
Si tratta di «Vagabond», storia ambientata nel Giappone del 1600 e avente quale protagonista un personaggio storico realmente esistito: Miyamoto Musashi. Autore del libro dei cinque anelli (sorta di manuale per samurai) e abile spadaccino, all’inizio di «Vagabond» Musashi ha solo 17 anni, ma non è mai stato sconfitto in combattimento. Le prime pagine del fumetto si aprono proprio su un campo di battaglia, rendendo immediatamente evidente la durezza del periodo e la ferocia degli scontri. È il punto di partenza per Musashi, che inizia il proprio girovagare per il Giappone, facendo attenzione ai vari ronin (samurai senza padrone) che vagano per le campagne e con cui spesso ingaggia sanguinosi scontri.
