I liked the artwork for The 14th Dalai Lama: A Manga Biography by Tetsu Saiwai. I also felt like this manga biography gave a basic overview of the Dalai Lama's life. I enjoyed reading this book.
Below is the publisher's summary for The 14th Dalai Lama: A Manga Biography by Tetsu Saiwai I discovered on Amazon's website:
A new way of getting to know one of the world's most beloved spiritual leaders.
Featuring a charmingly illustrated format that will appeal to readers of all ages, this unique biography is an ideal introduction to the leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile. Born in 1935 to a peasant family in a small village, Tenzin Gyatso was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. In 1950, His Holiness assumed full political power when China invade Tibet-a tragedy that forever changed him and shaped his efforts on behalf of world peace, for which he was award the Nobel Peace Prize. This graphic novel is an appealing and approachable depiction of the life and personality of an iconic figure.
I am giving The 14th Dalai Lama: A Manga Biography by Tetsu Saiwai a rating of 5 stars out of 5 stars.
Until my next post, happy reading!!!

ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how much detail they did impart in this book about the Dalai Lama in a graphic novel.
DeleteAs I said, I am sure that it's a good way to get information to younger audience and those who don't like reading books.
