Frederik L. Schodt Knihy
Frederik L. Schodt je americký překladatel, tlumočník a spisovatel, jehož životní dráha je hluboce spjata s Japonskem. Jeho rozsáhlé znalosti japonské kultury a jazyka, získané během dětství i pozdějšího studia a práce v Tokiu, mu umožnily stát se klíčovou postavou v popularizaci japonského komiksu, mangy, na Západě. Díky jeho překladům se díla předních japonských tvůrců, jako je Osamu Tezuka, stala přístupnými širšímu publiku. Schodtův vlastní text přináší zasvěcený pohled do světa mangy, jeho historie a kulturního významu, čímž čtenářům otevírá fascinující uměleckou oblast.
