Ranked among the classic novels of the English language and the inspiration for several unforgettable movies, this early work of H. G. Wells was greeted in 1896 by howls of protest from reviewers, who found it horrifying and blasphemous. They wanted to know more about the wondrous possibilities of science shown in his first book, The Time Machine, not its potential for misuse and terror. In The Island of Dr. Moreau, a shipwrecked gentleman named Edward Prendick, stranded on a Pacific island lorded over by the notorious Dr. Moreau, confronts dark secrets, strange creatures, and a reason to run for his life.While this riveting tale was intended to be a commentary on evolution, divine creation, and the tension between human nature and culture, modern readers familiar with genetic engineering will marvel at Wells’s prediction of the ethical issues raised by producing “smarter” human beings or bringing back extinct species. These levels of interpretation add a richness to Prendick’s adventures on Dr. Moreau’s island of lost souls without distracting from what is still a rip-roaring good read.

"Bu manasız ve yabancı hayatta bir tek şeye hakikaten sarılmış, hakikaten inanır gibi olmuştu. Bu da karısı idi. Muazzez'in varlığı Yusuf için büyük, boşlukları dolduracak mahiyette bir şey değildi, fakat onun yokluğu müthişti. Onun bu kadar sebepsiz yere, bu kadar insafsızca Yusuf'un hayatından koparılması çıldırtacak kadar acı idi. Hayatında asıl aradığı şeyin Muazzez olmadığını biliyordu, fakat Muazzez olmadan bunu aramaya muktedir olamayacağını sanıyordu."Kuyucaklı Yusuf, Türk edebiyatının belki de en romantik kahramanıdır. Hayatın ve insanların zalimliği karşısındaki naif duruşu ile bir yandan trajik bir sona ilerlerken, bir yandan da yaşadığı lirik aşk hikayesinin kahramanı olarak edebiyat tarihinde yerini almıştır.Sabahattin Ali büyük romanı Kuyucaklı Yusuf'ta lirik ve romantik bir kahramanın yanı sıra, zalim ve ağulu bir taşra portresini bütün aktörleriyle gözümüzde canlandırır.

"When a man tries to see into the distance, what does he do? He narrows his eyes. Even with your eyes opened as wide as they will go...you cannot perceive something so large that it is beyond the range of your vision."Kaneda doesn't take part in this novel. Tetsuo returns to us. The novel contains many religious overtones, more in line with mystical Taoism (as far as my limited knowledge reaches). You decide (Lady Miyako speaks):"It is only when he is afraid that he considers the other world, and then he will gladly sell his soul to whatever god or Buddha offers him hope. In reality, we are all part of the flow of the same cosmic stream. Even scientists don't grasp what their calculations truly show them...infinity...time without space...eternity...space without bounds...energy beyond imagination...and what do they do with their findings? Announce them at society dinners for plaques and the recordings of their names in the annals of history. No more than that! But even so...the stream flows on beyond our awareness."Religous/ Spiritual themes fit the cyberpunk template. Akira has been exalted by Tetsuo as a new emperor, a god. They call him "Mighty Lord," and "Savior." They say, "Great Master, hear my prayers!" Tetsuo does all the work while Akira says nothing. He establishes a "Great Tokyo Empire."Akira intervenes through psychic means, into Tetsuo's mind, after he kills three of four girls who stripped naked to lay with him. I interpret this act pissed the little demigod off. Tetsuo sees old friends, old family memories, his former connections to goodness. He goes to Lady Miyako for answers. She tells him he can go as deep as Akira but has to drop the drugs. It is his destiny. He tries to do it and suffers. In this, hopes arose in my heart he would turn back to the good, former Tetsuo. An idea I believe the author may have purposed to arise in the reader.Kei and Chiyoko struggle to bring Kiyoko to Lady Miyako. They fight through many battles and Chiyoko find the colonel, wandering the streets with a turban-like rag on his head. He helps their cause, having owned the initial responsibility for Kiyoko. This blind guy wears a bandana over his eyes with a huge eyeball tattooed on top of his balding head, stands in high places and amplifies his voice to Tetsuo's people, warning them of things to come. I don't know specifics, but I believe this comes out of ancient Greece, somewhere, somehow.Kaneda appears as a ghost of fire to Kei. He says, "K...Kei...wh-where am I?" He disappears. He had appeared in the same way to himself in the first novel. Tetsuo's right-hand man rebels and takes upon himself to call a raid on Miyako's temple, and brings about a massacre against many peaceful priests, and innocent refugees. Much battle and warfare ensues, as Kei and Chiyoko enter. Tetsuo has a revelation. He meets Akira in the outer universe and in the smallest elements. Somehow. He then creates a massive storm as he continues to withdrawal from the drugs. A building drops out of the sky. Kaneda appears. The last frame shows Kaneda, and he says, "Is it over?"I had a thought about Lady Miyako, number 19. Could this explain the mystery of Stephen King, and his katet of the nineteen? Miyako also explains the origin of the superpowers from brain experiments, and how she started with the kids. The kids, then, are old, but somehow kept their stature and child-likeness.

The explosive finale to one of graphic fiction's greatest achievements is here! The mad psychic colossus Tetsuo, the world's military, and the remaining psychics of The Project face off -- with the child psychic god, Akira, the wild card -- in what may not only decide the fate of mankind, but may determine the next step in human evolution! This long-awaited volume -- a staggering 440 pages -- features the impossible-to-find final chapters of Akira, never before collected in the U.S., presented as they were intended to be seen in their original, stunning black and white! Featuring a revised translation and top-quality art reproduction, this is the final edition of one of comics' definitive works, a six-volume epic of over two thousand pages. Katsuhiro Otomo's entire masterpiece is finally available -- only from Dark Horse!

In the 21st century, the glittering Neo-Tokyo has risen from the rubble of a Tokyo destroyed by an apocalyptic telekinetic blast from a young boy called Akira -- the subject of a covert government experiment gone wrong now imprisoned in frozen stasis. But Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense and rapidly growing psychic abilities, has done the unthinkable: he has released Akira and set into motion a chain of events that could once destroy the city and drag the world to the brink of Armageddon. Resistance agents and an armada of government forces race against the clock to find the child with godlike powers before his unthinkable destructive abilities are unleashed! One of the true international classics of graphic fiction and unavailable for nearly a decade in America, Akira has once again taken America by storm, its first Dark Horse volume selling out almost overnight in comic shops and bookstores across the country!

In the 21st century, the once-glittering Neo-Tokyo lies in ruins, leveled in minutes by the infinite power of the child psychic giant, Akira. Now a wasteland of rubble and anarchy, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, a ragtag group of zealots and crazies who worship and fear Akira and his mad prime minister, Tetsuo, an angry teen with immense powers of his own -- and equally immense twisted ambitions. The planet at large is not taking the threat lying down, however, and the might of the world is ready to take on the Empire, but will technology's most advanced weaponry be enough to destroy Akira -- and is Tetsuo an ever greater threat? The fifth chapter in a sweeping epic of over 2000 pages, Akira vol. 5 is the penultimate act of a mind-blowing graphic-novel masterpiece of awe-inspiring imagination and gut-wrenching power, and the inspiration for the classic Akira animated film.

You just cannot put this book down. Akira's second volume is pure, non-stop action from start to end. I love how Katsuhiro Otomo brings in all the characters and play their part without making the reading experience overcrowded. Even without the film as a reference, this book is oozing with cinematic appeal. Now I can really say that there's a huge difference between the manga and the movie. Again, both still follow the main plot points but the smaller details are very different. I can even go as far as saying that (view spoiler)[except for the huge Tetsuo monster thing and the big explosion in the movie, (hide spoiler)]

  Akira: And A Boy Shall Rule Them All... Badly. A Boy Whose Head Contains A Supernova\
 'Akira' and 'Lone Wolf and Cub' were among the first complete manga masterpieces to be published in English, and despite the mirror-imaging, were very similar to their original tankobon incarnations. Katsuhiro Otomo's SF-classic 'Akira' -- as well as it's equally brilliant predecessor, 'Domu' -- revolutionized Japanese comics. It introduced realistic, incredibly detailed artwork that merged a far more subtle manga stylization with European influences, incorporating aspects from the art of 'Metal Hurlant' regulars Moebius, Francois Schuiten, and Enki Bilal. The importance of 'Akira' is difficult to express, but it certainly rivals US contemporaries 'Watchmen' and 'The Dark Knight Returns', and it ran far longer than either title, giving it an epic scope and grandeur that exceeds both of those seminal works. If it was a decision between: Katsuhiro Otomo, 'Domu' and 'Akira'; Frank Miller, 'Batman: Year One' and 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns'; or Alan Moore, 'V for Vendetta' and 'Watchmen'; I'd say that Otomo created the best and most influential works of the 1980's. That ignores some huge titles, like 'Love and Rockets' and 'Maus' and 'Raw' and 'Weirdo' and 'Yummy Fur' and 'The Incal' and 'Les Cites Obscures', etc... but I'll stand by it, with all due respect.All that hyperbole crosses without friction to the film adaptation... perhaps the best anime -- and animated -- film ever made. But Otomo wrote and directed his debut when he was only around half-way through the manga. The 6-volume, 2200+-page series is not just 'worth checking out' for fans of the anime, it's essential. The film contains less than 15% of the super-epic that inspired it, but the art, the characters, the basic plot, and the light-speed pacing will all be unmistakably familiar.On a Technical Note: While I prefer the original right-to-left orientation for translated manga, Kodansha is still using the Dark Horse translation that appeared before Japanese formatting surprised the hell out of US publishers by catching on. It's only as big a deal as you make it, in my opinion; obsessive-compulsive types are out of luck, but anyone who has recovered from the mind-blowing shock of confronting a left-handed doppelganger in the bathroom mirror will do just fine. My preference for R-to-L has to do with preserving the artist's original vision... does that sound right? Something like that, anyway. As far as accessibility, flipping the art is probably easier for weak western minds and eyeballs. I'd rather watch a film reflected in a mirror than I would one played in reverse.\

  Domu: Otomo's Pre-Akira Masterpiece\
Otomo's first masterpiece is overshadowed by the grandeur of Akira, but both the art and the story display the full-range of his creative powers. In an apartment mega-complex with thousands of residents, the suicide rate has risen dramatically. An old man with terrifying psychic abilities has become senile, and is now indulging his deadly and selfish whims, manipulating the residents like puppets and sending some to their deaths. The families of the victims are baffled. The police investigating the deaths don't know what to make of it all, but as they follow the bizarre trail of clues, they get closer to a killer they're incapable of stopping. But when a little girl moves in with her family, the old man is suddenly confronted by someone determined to stop his malevolent games, a child with powers that might exceed his own. The town-sized apartment complex becomes a battlefield between two psychic juggernauts, and the old man's malicious games unleash a storm of telekinetic fury that threatens to kill hundreds of innocent people. Otomo was far ahead of his time, and his genius for graphic storytelling inspired an entire generation of young mangaka. Domu holds up remarkably well, and deserves to have a much wider audience; unbelievably, this is somehow out of print in North America. I don't know what the fuck Kodansha is thinking, but they need to publish a new edition and promote it. If you haven't read Domu, stop whatever you're doing and run blindly around the countryside screaming the title until someone finally tries to pacify you with a copy. If some asshole shows up with 'Appleseed', add projectile vomit and urine to the routine. Accept no substitutes. \
