H.P. sta ovviamente per Hugo Pratt mentre Giuseppe Bergman \u00e8 l'alter ego dell'autore veronese. Manara dimostra un'ottima padronanza del medium fumettistico e anche una grande voglia di raccontare e sperimentare. L'erotismo non manca ma non \u00e8 l'elemento predominante. Tutta la vicenda, una sorta di reality show ante litteram, prende le mosse dalla ribellione di Bergman all'idea di una vita banale e dalla sua ricerca dell'avventura a tutti i costi, avventura che lo porter\u00e0 in giro per il mondo, dall'Amazzonia all'Africa, oppure in viaggi di fantasia e surreali come nell'Odissea.","_it_post_name":"h-p-e-giuseppe-bergman","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"H.P. e Giuseppe Bergman","_en_post_content":"The character of Giuseppe Bergman shows up in An author in search of six characters and in Dies irae, both identified as The African Adventures of Giuseppe Bergman, usually published as a single adventure.
