( ) This graphic novel was created by Jordan Mechner who also created the first Prince of Persia video game in the 1980's and subsequent recreation of the sequel in 2003, Sands of Time. Merchner also wrote the screenplay for the Disney version of the movie. The story isn't exactly the same as game or movie, but does get its inspiration from the many incarnations of Prince of Persia. If you haven't read a story with two plot lines, this is a good way to get introduced to the way this can work in a story. It can be confusing, but the illustrations guide you through it pretty well. The story is about choosing your path, fighting off demons, and finding your future. no reviews | add a review

BEYOND THE LEGENDARY GAME - THE LEGEND ITSELF Long ago in Persia, there lived a Prince -- a man of honor, of valor, and full of strength -- a man for his people, who lived with them and took on their trials and hardships. And he was loved. His name is no longer remembered. When people speak of him, they call him merely, 'The Prince of Persia,' as if there have been no others, and his descendants are enjoined to live like him, to be like him, to the ends of their days. Long ago in Persia, there were many princes, one following another, sometimes quick, sometimes slow, sometimes fat, clever, joyous, and all more or less honorable. And in some of those princes there shone the spirit of The Prince of Persia, for in Persia time spins like a wheel, and what is to come has already happened, and then happens again, year in and year out. This is the story of two of those princes, and of the destiny that threads their lives together. Created by Jordan Mechner, the Prince of Persia graphic novel is beautifully written by poet A.B. Sina and opulently illustrated by LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland. No library descriptions found. |
