I picked this up because I'd heard of Chinese science-fiction author Cixin Liu and I wanted to check him out. This is an adaptation of a short story by Liu, a former engineer. It is a story about fun versus responsibility and 'serious' business. Yuanyuan is fascinated by bubbles and devotes her scientific career to their study. Her father is more concerned with providing water to a d(r)ying town. Climate engineering, family responsibility and individual freedom come together in this tale. However it seems to have been written in the pre-Xi Jingping Thought era, especially with its embrace of capitalism and the free-thinking of its protagonist. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
An international collaboration involving 26 writers and illustrators from 14 different countries have transformed 15 of Cixin Liu's - 'China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke' (New Yorker) - award-winning stories into graphic novels. Yuanyuan was five months old when she saw bubbles for the first time. In that moment, her eyes lit up with a radiance that outshone the sun and stars, and she felt she truly saw the world for the first time. From that day on, her life's one dream was to blow the biggest bubbles possible. Yuanyuan's father doesn't approve of her dream. He fears his daughter's obsession is childish and too fleeting for his daughter, and longs for her to turn her intelligence to a calling that might help people. Their city is dying, but Yuanyuan focuses solely on blowing bigger and bigger bubbles. But when Yuanyuan learns to create a bubble the size of a city - greater even - it may be that her obsession isn't so unhelpful after all.
