Ez dakit gaur egun gustatuko litzaizkidakeen, baina serie honetako batzuk irakurri nituen eta asko murgildu nintzen gaztetan.
Gogoratzen dut portadaren kolorea bera, ilustrazioak... oso-oso eleganteak iruditzen zitzaizkidala.
Egilea harroputz hutsa iruditu zait gerora eman dituen elkarrizketa batzuetan, baina tira.
This modern story follows the lead of Dumas and Cervantes, making an ancient stage seem real and vital once more. Fantastic adventure, dark humor, and beautiful scenes.
Highly recommended.
