Frederik L. Schodt Knihy
Frederik L. Schodt je americký prekladateľ, tlmočník a spisovateľ, ktorého životná dráha je hlboko spojená s Japonskom. Jeho rozsiahle znalosti japonskej kultúry a jazyka, získané počas detstva aj neskoršieho štúdia a práce v Tokiu, mu umožnili stať sa kľúčovou postavou v popularizácii japonského komiksu, mangy, na Západe. Vďaka jeho prekladom sa diela popredných japonských tvorcov, ako je Osamu Tezuka, stali prístupnými širšiemu publiku. Schodtov vlastný text prináša zasvätený pohľad do sveta mangy, jeho histórie a kultúrneho významu, čím čitateľom otvára fascinujúcu umeleckú oblasť.
