Frederik L. Schodt Livres
Frederik L. Schodt est un traducteur, interprète et écrivain américain dont le parcours est profondément lié au Japon. Sa connaissance approfondie de la culture et de la langue japonaises, acquise au cours de son enfance puis lors de ses études et de son travail à Tokyo, en a fait une figure clé dans la popularisation de la bande dessinée japonaise, le manga, en Occident. Grâce à ses traductions, les œuvres de créateurs japonais de premier plan tels qu'Osamu Tezuka sont devenues accessibles à un public plus large. L'écriture de Schodt offre une exploration perspicace du monde du manga, de son histoire et de sa signification culturelle, ouvrant ainsi un fascinant domaine artistique aux lecteurs.
