Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Editor’s Choice) Vol. 2

Beskrivning

In a long-ago war- humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption- an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a miasma of poisonous spores into the air. At the periphery of the sea- tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies the Valley of the Wind- a kingdom of barely 500 citizens- a nation given fragile protection from the decaying sea’s poisons by the ocean breezes- and home to Nausicaa. Nausicaa- a gentle but strong-willed young princess- has an empathic bond with the giant Ohmu insects- who open their hearts to her. In her quest to create peace among empires fighting over the world’s remaining precious natural resources- will Nausicaa be able to interpret the Ohmus’ urgent warning about the southern forest? And what of the war which rages all around her?
