An epic fantasy tale written and illustrated by the legendary director Hayao Miyazaki!
In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. Now, the earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a miasma of poisonous spores into the air. At the periphery of the sea, tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens; a nation given fragile protection from the decaying sea's poisons by the ocean breezes; and home to Nausicaä.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is an epic fantasy tale written and illustrated by legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, creator of My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo. A modern masterpiece, the entire series is now available in this deluxe box set containing two hardcover volumes with interior color pages and a bonus poster.
“Having ended Nausicaä doesn’t mean that everything has ended or come to a conclusion... I ended the story at the same point as we are now, at the starting point of an incomprehensible world.”
—Hayao Miyazaki, from Starting Point: 1979~1996
