LA OBRA MAESTRA DE SUSUMU HIGA SOBRE LA BATALLA DE OKINAWA, CON LA QUE GAN� EL JAPAN MEDIA ARTS GRAND PRIZE, EL PRESTIGIOSO GALARD�N QUE OTORGA EL MINISTERIO DE CULTURA DE JAP�N.
La batalla de Okinawa fue uno de los episodios m�s tr�gicos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: Susumu Higa nos da su visi�n inmisericorde de lo que hicieron tanto americanos como japoneses. Si la guerra nunca es una lucha perfecta entre el bien y el mal, la batalla de Okinawa fue un triste ejemplo de ello. Entre abril y junio de 1945, cerca de 150.000 personas (un tercio de la poblaci�n total) fueron aniquiladas durante la invasi�n estadounidense. El ej�rcito japon�s, asimismo, cometi� cr�menes atroces contra la poblaci�n civil, como promover suicidios en masa. Estaba en juego la supervivencia del Imperio japon�s, de modo que Okinawa y el resto de las islas Ryukyu (con su lengua y cultura propias), fueron entregadas en sacrificio. En Okinawa, el viento habla, Susumu Higa trenza con realismo varias historias paralelas, para servirnos una realidad cruda, en la que no toma partido ni busca interpretaciones pol�ticas. Con esta obra, Sensei Higa se erigi� como el gran cronista de la isla de Okinawa, un territorio fascinante cuya historia nunca se hab�a contado con propiedad: suyo es el escalofriante testimonio de las tragedias sufridas por cientos de miles de civiles, abandonados a su suerte bajo la lluvia de bombas, la hipocres�a del silencio y la rabia ante los abusos de todo tipo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Japanese Grass--winner of the Japan Media Arts Grand Prize. The Battle of Okinawa was one of the most tragic episodes of World War II. Susumu Higa gives us his merciless view of what both Americans and Japanese did. If war is never a perfect struggle between good and evil, the Battle of Okinawa was a sad example of this. Between April and June 1945, nearly 150,000 people (one-third of the total population) were killed during the American invasion. The Japanese army also committed atrocious crimes against the civilian population, such as encouraging mass suicides. The survival of the Japanese Empire was at stake, so Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyu Islands (with their own language and culture) were sacrificed. In Okinawa, the Wind Speaks, Susumu Higa realistically weaves together several parallel stories to present us with a harsh reality, in which he takes no sides and seeks no political interpretations. With this work, Sensei Higa established himself as the great chronicler of the island of Okinawa, a fascinating territory whose history had never been properly told: his is the chilling testimony of the tragedies suffered by hundreds of thousands of civilians, abandoned to their fate under a rain of bombs, the hypocrisy of silence, and rage in the face of abuses of all kinds.Susumu Higa (Okinawa, 1953) desarrollÃ3 buena parte de su carrera al margen de la industria del manga. EmpezÃ3 publicando historietas en pequeñas revistas hasta que su nombre se convirtiÃ3 en un secreto a voces y lo contratÃ3 la todopoderosa editorial Kodansha, para la que elaborÃ3 Okinawa, el viento habla (2003), su obra maestra. Nunca ha dejado de vivir en Okinawa.
