Sandman The Dream Hunters SC

Product Information

Lessons were learned,’ said the pale king. ‘Events occurred as it was proper for them to do. I do not perceive that my attention was wasted.’” In the realm of dreams, the King of All Night's Dreaming and the raven ponder the events and their significance; The King of All Night's Dreaming is satisfied that events played out as they should have and that everyone involved learned an important lesson, particularly the monk. The narration ends implying that monk and the fox might have ended up together, but remains inconclusive.

Asian Fox Spirit: The protagonist is a shapeshifting kitsune. She spends most of her time in fox form but occasionally takes the form of a beautiful woman.I couldn't believe how graceful and gorgeous the King of Dreams look under Mr. Amano's pen!!! This graphic novel offers up two full-colored illustrations of Dream, who wears a robe that looks half like Gothic armor and half like a kimono, and both of these illustrations took my breath away!!!! You won't believe it before you see it for yourself! Although technically a Sandman story, this can certainly be read without involving that lengthy series. It could be considered a story in that universe, and not an essential piece of it.

Meanwhile, in a house in Kyoto, a rich onmyōji is consumed by a nameless fear, and consults three women living at the edge of town. They give him instructions to alleviate this fear; the result is that the aforementioned monk will become trapped inside a dream, and his body will sleep continuously until it dies. Sandman: Cazadores de sueños es un relato corto ambientado en el Japón feudal, mitad mitología y folklore y mitad cuento onírico, donde Neil Gaiman expande el universo de Sandman (al parecer algunos personajes que aparecen en este relato están tomados directamente de la historia principal) hacia la cultura oriental. Cazadores de Sueños nos cuenta la historia de un monje budista que vive solo en un templo situado en la ladera de una montaña. Un buen día una zorra y un tejón deciden hacer una apuesta: aquel que consiga expulsar al monje del templo se quedaría ese lugar como hogar. Ambos emplean todos los recursos a su alcance para engañar al monje y hacer que este se vaya, apareciendo ante él como una joven princesa con falsas promesas o como un grupo de monstruos amenazantes. Pero el monje es mucho más astuto de lo que parece y ningún engaño funciona con él. A pesar de todo, el monje siente lástima por la zorra y la deja vivir en las cercanías del templo, y cuando ésta se entera de la amenaza mortal que acecha al monje debido a una profecía pronunciada por las Tres Brujas a un poderoso señor feudal conocido como el Onmyoji en la que advertían a este que no podría vivir a no ser que el monje encontrara la muerte, no duda en hacer lo posible por ayudarle, ya que se había enamorado de él. Y es aquí cuando entramos en el reino de Morfeo, ya que el plan del Onmyoji se servía de sueños para asesinar al monje. Like most fables, the story begins with a wager between two jealous animals, a fox and a badger: which of them can drive a young monk from his solitary temple? The winner will make the temple into a new fox or badger home. But as the fox adopts the form of a woman to woo the monk from his hermitage, she falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in far away Kyoto, the wealthy Master of Yin-Yang, the onmyoji, is plagued by his fears and seeks tranquility in his command of sorcery. He learns of the monk and his inner peace; he dispatches demons to plague the monk in his dreams and eventually kill him to bring his peace to the onmyoji. The fox overhears the demons on their way to the monk and begins her struggle to save the man whom at first she so envied. And, yes, I read the Afterword before reading the original book, because I’m one of those people who tend to read about things before they read the things themselves. I’ll read author’s notes and commentaries before I’ll read the actual text, more often than not. I’ve never been one to heed spoiler warnings. To say any more would spoil the experience. You need to read this and take it in and want to cry and laugh and hug it to yourself, because you're a sappy mess of a person.The Sandman: The Dream Hunters is a standalone story in the universe of The Sandman (1989), written by the comic's author Neil Gaiman.
