Description
The original novellas about Godzilla, first translated into English, now available. Shigeru Kayama's 1954 novellas about Godzilla, the iconic kaijū awakened by nuclear testing, offer a unique perspective on the monster's role in a world ravaged by human destructiveness. These two classic Japanese young-adult science fiction stories have never been available in English, until now. Translated into English for the first time, these novellas reveal valuable insights into Kayama's vision for the Godzilla story, featuring plots that differ from the films, and showcasing the author's strong antinuclear, proenvironmental convictions. As a powerful fable for the Anthropocene, Godzilla's guerrilla-style warfare against humanity serves as a warning about the consequences of human activity on the natural world.
