El Viaje de Shuna / Shuna's Journey - Hardcover

Shuna, joven heredero de una tierra hostil y baldía, pasa los días observando con desesperación cómo su gente trabaja hasta el agotamiento cosechando el poco grano que crece en sus campos. Un día, un misterioso anciano llega a sus tierras tras un largo viaje y, moribundo, le habla de unas semillas doradas con las que podría devolver la abundancia a sus cosechas. Sin embargo, tendrá que pagar un alto precio si quiere encontrarlas, pues las semillas están en el lugar donde nace la luna y regresa a morir, donde la tierra anuncia su fin, un lugar del que nunca nadie ha regresado. Shuna, esperanzado ante la idea de poner fin a la hambruna de su pueblo, emprende un peligroso viaje hacia el oeste.

From legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki comes Shuna's Journey, a new manga classic about a prince on a quest for a golden grain that would save his land!

And so, when a traveler presents him with a sample of seeds from a mysterious western land, he sets out to find the source of the golden grain, dreaming of a better life for his subjects.

It is not long before he meets a proud girl named Thea. After freeing her from captivity, he is pursued by her enemies, and while Thea escapes north, Shuna continues toward the west, finally reaching the Land of the God-Folk.
