Sinossi
David sta dando la vita per l'arte... letteralmente. Grazie a un patto con la Morte, il giovane scultore riceve un dono preziosissimo: poter scolpire ciò che vuole a mani nude. Gli restano però soltanto duecento giorni di vita, e decidere cosa scolpire è più difficile del previsto; il fatto di essersi innamorato quando il suo tempo sta per scadere, poi, non fa che complicare le cose. Questa è una storia di desideri portati oltre il limite della ragione, dei titubanti, goffi passi di danza di un amore che nasce ed è anche il meraviglioso ritratto della più straordinaria città del mondo vista dall'uomo della strada. È un libro sui piccoli, profondi, fondamentali momenti umani della vita quotidiana, e delle forze potentissime che si agitano appena sotto la superficie.

Recensioni
Completely blown away by this graphic novel. The best graphic novel I've read all year and I've read some pretty great ones.
This book ripped out my heart and showed it to me. Several times.
I had high hopes for this book, since I loved Scott McCloud's Zot series, and think Understanding Comics is brilliant. But it was really disappointing. My main complaints: 1) It fails the Bechdel test -- Meg never talks with any other women. 2) Meg is totally a manic (depressive) pixie dream girl -- Da Leggi tutto
David Smith is giving his life for his art—literally. Thanks to a deal with his death grand uncle Harry, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. I just want to mention that the art in this was stunningly beautiful. And not only
this book is maddening - on the one hand, its handling of artistic frustration and the desire to excel as an artist is intelligent and well-considered, but on the other hand, this story is just another in a long line of "loser male protagonist is rescued by manic pixie dream girl" stories. literally Leggi tutto
10/21/18 Three people in the last year have read this review and asked me if I was "all right in my head," given how wrong I was in my review. You know, this happens, that we disagree and like snowflakes, we sometimes disagree (wait, is that a mixed metaphor?!). My initial response was clearly somew Leggi tutto
David Smith is a New York sculptor who’s in a bad way: he’s broke, and his patron’s dropped him. He meets Death, in the form of his dead uncle Harry, and makes a deal: David’s life in exchange for the ability to sculpt anything with his bare hands in any material for 200 days. David is literally giv Leggi tutto
We're so proud to have published this graphic novel! Scott McCloud is one of the most thoughtful people in the comics industry we know -- he literally wrote the book on comics, after all! And with THE SCULPTOR, he takes all that knowledge abotu how comics works and fuses it seamlessly into a wonderfu Leggi tutto
WOW this took a dark twist I was not expecting! I'm just a huge fan of graphic novels that are LONG because it's so nice to see character growth and to have time to explore bigger plot arcs and intricacies that are lost on you in littler series, or shorter stand-alones. This stands alongside Blanket Leggi tutto
Wow...damn...just wow.
