Welcome to a new strange world.
In a dazzling work of graphic fiction, a surreal journey through a wonderland eerily like real life, The Book of Leviathan chronicles an infant's investigations into life's great mysteries. Endowed with a preternatural interest in metaphysics and philosophy, yet as confused as any innocent by the vagaries of adult behavior, little Levi bears the added burden of living in a world that can literally change at the stroke of a pen.
Aided by a wise pet ("Cat") and a favorite toy ("Bunny"), Levi encounters a frothing ectoplasmic Hegel and a woefully off-the-mark Freud. In less heady adventures, Levi contemplates why his parents disappear at night (and whether he is wholeheartedly pleased when they return each morning); the regrettable liberties taken with the English language; and the relationship between Bennetton and Pablo Neruda.
Peter Blegvad's Book of Leviathan assembles the cream from Levi and Cat's adventures, published in The Independent on Sunday newspaper in the twilight years of the old Millennium. Blegvad's darkly humorous work has been described by Matt Groening as "one of the weirdest things I've ever stared at". Quirky and referential, dark and droll by turn, it follows the faceless baby Levi's journeys into and out of the world. They are escapes, but as some sage once observed, only a jailer would consider the term "escapist" pejorative.
Peter Blegvad is an American writer, illustrator, musician, songwriter, and pamphleteer. His previous publications are the comic strip collection The Book of Leviathan and Headcheese.
當童貞一點點死亡,空留下“成人”這具屍殼之後,孩子們便進入瞭社會。我們口中所謂的“社會”,不過是“地獄”兩個字體麵一點的叫法。這就是為什麼大人害怕孩子(即使這恐懼裏包裹著愛),也隻是因為兒童嚮我們展示瞭自己腐爛的程度。——布萊恩·阿爾迪斯 《利維坦之書》這本...

評分你相信一見鍾情嗎? 想必對方一定擁有某種吸引你的特質,纔會讓你一見鍾情吧?一見鍾情是在雙方接觸的一瞬間産生齣的情感,所以很可能是齣於對方的顔值,也有可能是因為對方的一句話,或是一個舉動。 我對《利維坦之書》的一見鍾情大概屬於第二種情況,但絕對不屬於第一種。畢...
評分布雷瓦的插畫師生涯和他不算成功的樂隊經曆有著莫大乾係,盡管他本人不會承認。他曾多次提到自己和父親有命運重疊之處,比如父親也是插畫師,曾參與過大量兒童繪本的創作工作,又比如父親也曾來到紐約打拼等等。 說話的人長著一張King Crimson的麵龐,這倒不是說他長得像《In t...
