This book is the story of a unique relationship between the legendary industrialist J.R.D. Tata and a young man, Frederick, who had come from Germany in the sixties to be with the Mother of the Ashram of Pondicherry and who became one of the first people to join her extraordinary adventure, Auroville. But along with the story of that unique friendship, revealed to us through the correspondence between the two and through the meditative testimony of Frederick, one discovers also how much help the great man gave to that project, how much time and energy he devoted to that cause. A cause which obviously at the same time fascinated and puzzled him. The nobility, the kindness of J.R.D. Tata, his love for adventure and for youth shine through the pages of this book.

Gou has done it again.
Format: Paperback
I like the original text, I love the adaptation because it doesn't stray too far from it. The illustration is beautiful and sometimes gross (In a good way, I mean it's a cosmic horror about people turning into fish, maybe don't read it right before a meal or before bed.) Gou Tanabe has been working through many of H.P Lovecraft's more popular or interesting stories and this one is just about as good as the rest. The translation as always is very good throughout with only one or two "Wait, what?" moments which could have come from reading the original text differently. I definitely recommend this book and several of others from Gou Tanabe if you love cosmic horror, manga, or H.P Lovecraft.

An Eldritch Tale Deserving the Manga Treatment
Format: Paperback
One of Lovecraft's very best (and my personal favourite of his macabre tales), rendered in grotesque mana style. While it doesn't eclipse its inspiration, I thoroughly enjoyed this unique take on a classic tale.
