{"product_id":"9781476626796","title":"The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki","description":"Widely regarded as Japan’s greatest animated director, Hayao Miyazaki creates films lauded for vibrant characters and meaningful narrative themes. Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films—from \u003ci\u003eNausicaä\u003c\/i\u003e (1984) to \u003ci\u003eThe Wind Rises\u003c\/i\u003e (2013)—this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications. Miyazaki’s work addresses a coherent set of human concerns, including adolescence, good and evil, our relationship to the past, our place in the natural order, and the problems of living in a complex and ambiguous world. Exhibiting religious influences without religious endorsement, his films urge nonjudgment and perseverance in everyday life.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173687017712,"sku":"9781476626796","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476626796_p0.jpg?v=1763608775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476626796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
