DRAGON BALL CULTURE VOLUME 2

Son Goku&rsquo,s adventure begins! Join me in Dragon Ball Culture Volume 2, as we travel along with Goku on his epic journey for greater strength. With each step that Goku takes, you&rsquo,ll discover more of the hidden spirituality and symbolism in Dragon Ball that makes the series so successful. You&rsquo,ll see how author Akira Toriyama synthesizes Chinese culture, Western technology, and Buddho-Daoist philosophy to create a series that speaks to your humanity. Not because of the action or the humor, but because it reminds you of what it means to be alive. Along the way you&rsquo,ll learn of Goku&rsquo,s ancient origin. You&rsquo,ll hear how the legend of a wild monkey-man begins in India, evolves across 2,000 years of Chinese and Japanese history, and leads to the Goku you know and love. I&rsquo,ll walk you through the journey from the first page to the last. And by the time we&rsquo,re done, you will be an expert on Dragon Ball&rsquo,s culture. Volume 2 explores Chapters 1 to 23 of the Dragon Ball manga. So let',s take our first step with Goku!_,
