A beautiful, peaceful, meditation wrapped in a book. This is the kind of book you have to slow down for, take time with, look at closely. And then when you're done, you go for a walk and see your surroundings with new eyes.

En esta ocasión no me llego tanto, aunque he de reconocer que tiene partes que te hacen pensar , como "es hora de vivir" que gran verdad, siempre es un placer disfrutar de este autor y por supuesto lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.
fast-paced
Jeg elsker denne bog.
Den er helt rolig, uden store armbevægelser, og alligevel forstår historierne klar og tydelig.

This is not as charming as Furari. However, Taniguchi’s way of depicting the magic of small, insignificant moments is as touching as ever. And of course the art - the art is tender, expansive and, on several occasions, breathtaking.
I think even more than Furari, I was aware of the different experiences displayed by the husband and the wife in this story. I loved the way the main character found meaning and adventure in the everyday, but he was only afforded that small freedom because his wife was taking care of everything at home. I suppose where Furari made me feel like both characters found their own moments of happiness even if we were mostly focused on the husband, The Walking Man didn’t succeed as well in this department which did take that Taniguchi magic down a notch for me.
Overall, it was beautiful, relaxing and sweet in its own way, but not in the same league as Furari which remains one of my favourite mangas.

O homem que passeia é composto de pequenos contos que nos mostram os passeios de um personagem. Não há nada de extraordinário nesses passeios e não há de fato uma trama que se desenrola com a história, são apenas passeios prosaicos e que retratam uma vida comum. O livro me lembrou um filme de que gosto muito também, o Paterson, do Jim Jarmusch, que também procura buscar uma espécie de poesia no cotidiano (soa cafona, mas juro que nenhum dos dois o é).
Além da arte deslumbrante, Taniguchi encanta e fascina com a sua sensibilidade e percepção singulares. Os pequenos contos retratados aqui parecem fazer uma espécie de apelo a uma vida mais devagar, onde temos mais tempo de olhar para os lados (e para cima/baixo) e estabelecer uma relação mais contemplativa e significativa com as pessoas, a natureza e os animais. Gosto demais de como o autor explora também a relação do personagem principal com a fisicalidade das coisas, seja de sentir o vento, a chuva, as lambidas de um cachorro, um tombo, a grama, etc. Maravilhoso.
