Als Fan vom Jim Henson Film DER DUNKLE KRISTALL musste ich diese Buch natÃrlich haben. 1983 hatte ich die Erstauflage gekauft und war begeistert: Der Text und die wunderschönen Illustrationen ( zum Teil mit Pergament-Papier ergÃnzt) vermitteln einem das GefÃhl von einer tatsÃchlich existierenden Welt! Die Erstauflage war ziemlich schnell vergriffen und die Preise stiegen ins unermessliche! Dank Internet (EBAY) hat man diese Situation erkannt und eine Neuauflage produziert. Die Neuauflage hat das schönere Cover, ein kleines Booklet mit den allerersten EntwÃrfen zum Film (wo der Film noch THE CRYSTAL hiess!), sowie ein neues Vorwort vom Schöpfer Brian Froud. Einziger Schwachpunkt im Vergelich zur Erstauflage: Der Druck ist etwas schlechter, da die Original-Lithos nicht mehr vorhanden ware. So musste das komplette Buch gescannt werden, auch der Text wurde neu gesetzt (sieht man an den Teils anderen Schriften).
Trotzdem: FÃr den Preis sicherlich ein Muss!

Essential for anyone who loves The Dark Crystal
16. April 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Anyone who's seen this movie will be familiar with the breathtaking level of detail and effort that went into the production design. One could watch the film a hundred times over and still pick up on small things and be totally puzzled over the meaning of it all. When you think about it, The Dark Crystal is a small miracle. Not only is it a very grim kids film, hardly any of the mythology is explained and there's loads of subtext and hidden meanings. How many can say that about Finding Nemo?
Brian Froud has always been fascinated with faeries and goblins and such so when he was hired by Jim Henson to work on this movie it must have been a dream come true. The first section of this book covers Froud's experiences working on the movie. It's an interesting read but the remaining part of the book requires the reader to have a vivid recollection of events in the film and patience to add it all up. Not an easy read or your typical 'making of' book at all.
Two thirds of the book is told from the point of view of Aughra, the one and only of her race, the prophet born of rock and stone. She explains to us the history of her world, the great divide of the Urskeks and the creation of uUru and Skeksis.
The depth of Brian Froud's imagination is astonishing. The triangular and circular imagery of the film is spelled out so vividly that several reads of each page are needed in order to fully understand it all. The quality of the presentation is of the highest standard. The book is a huge hardback with beautiful pictures in color, black and white and daguerreotype. Some pages are translucent trace paper laid over spirals to give us a better idea of what they mean. A reproduction of Jim Henson's original presentation to potential backers of the film is included in the back page inserted in a pouch.
Investment in this book is well worth the money for fans of the film and those interested in faery mythology and even art students.

World of the Dark Crystal Reprint
1. Mai 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Dark Crystal... one of the most beautiful films created by two of the most talented artists our culture has ever seen- Jim Henson and Brian Froud. I collect Froud's books, and receieved the orginal edition of The World of the Dark Crystal last year for my Winter Solstice gift. If you are a Froud or Dark Crystal collector, but you aren't quite obsessed enough to search for months for this book, and then pay [dollar amount] for it (coughcoughME)--- this book is your salvation! Not only is the artwork brighter, and the paper of better quality, but the new cover is stunning, it features a lovely new forward and the fascinating promo book in the back. However--- If you already own the orginal copy of this book, and are looking forward to the 15 new artworks that the new version promises, I must warn you: THERE IS NO NEW MATERIAL IN THIS BOOK ASIDE FROM THE PROMO BOOK. I don't know how this happened, especially since it says right in the jacket that there ARE 15 new artworks. There is work that wasn't in the book before in the forward, but the only image no one's ever seen is the photo of Jen and Kira. While the new book is certainly exquisite, I was disappointed at this. I don't regret having purchased the book, however- for I'm very adement in my Froud collecting and seek to own every bit of Froud merchandise that comes my way. :) :) :) I hope this was helpful to all of you! Blessed Be!

I never saw this book the first time it was released, so when I saw this I ordered it imeadiatly.
What a georgeous book! Lovely illustrations throughout tell the story of this delightful Hensen masterpiece. From a friend of mine who had the original she says this book has many improvements and additional material not in the original release including a lovely sketch book attached to the back cover of more of Brian Froud's conceptual art for this film. Also in this edition but not in the original are some shots from the film but they are not behind the scenes shots with people or pupeteers but just nice artful shots of the Dark Crystal characters and scenery that only enhances the beauty of this book.
If you are a fan of this film this book is worth the price and even if you still own the original this book improves on the original and is worth buying.
