The first of two volumes builds on the brilliant and original Graphic Canon series in retelling classic works of literature as comics and other visual forms. Organized thematically, Volume 1 opens with 'The Act' (think In Cold Blood and A Clockwork Orange), followed by sections dedicated to 'Criminals,' Whodunit,' 'Judgment' (Scarlet Letter, anyone?), and 'Punishment.' Here you'll find stunning and suspenseful adaptations starringSherlock Holmes, Auguste Dupin, Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Mike Hammer, and teenage girl-detective Violet Strange. The artists also bring to life crime stories from the Arabian Nights, the Bible, The Canterbury Tales, China's Song Dynasty, Shakespeare, James Joyce's Dubliners, Patricia Highsmith, Truman Capote, and current writers like Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, and Sara Paretsky.

Guido and his pals Moreno and Katango are rebels without a cause living in a rural town of the Po Valley, a forsaken corner of the Italian countryside turned peripheral wasteland. Disaffected students of the local vocational high school, they spend their days trying to get high as a way to forget about the bleak hopelessness around them. As children, they enjoyed being the sons of rural folks and the country seemed to them a never-ending reservoir of wonders. Now that they are almost finished with high school, they much prefer to drive to the nearby Rimini and its Riviera, check out its flashy dance clubs and end up wasted on its shores.

At War with War visualizes humanity's 5,000-year-long state of conflict, chaos, and violence on a continuous timeline. Seventy pages of stark black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings and woodcuts illustrate history's most notorious battles from 3300 BCE to the present day. Interspersed are contemplations on war from historic thinkers, including excerpts from 'The Art of War' by Sun Tsu, 'The Complaint of Peace' by Desiderius Erasmus, and 'The State' by Randolph Bourne. Searing and sardonic, balancing anger and despair with wit and humanity, these raw illustrations convey the power of war in human life. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Bear, Staffan Gnosspelius's debut book, is a gorgeous visual meditation on depression. In this deeply affecting, wordless picture book for adults, a bear is maddeningly afflicted with a cone that covers his head and that he is unable to take off. He furiously stomps and yells and tears at the cone, he implores the skies and fate for relief, he is drawn to dark and wild and scary places. The depths of his sadness feel like a defeat. It's a battle he wages until he's mentally and physically exhausted. Then, one day, Bear hears notes of music, the humming of a friendly hare. The hare hovers nearby, concerned, sometimes driven away by Bear's frustration and anger, more often staying close and gently offering support. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The author of The Mental Load returns with more 'visual essays which are transformative agents of change.' Emma tangles with issues pertinent to women's experiences, from consent to the 'power of love,' from the care and attentiveness that women place on others' wellbeing and social cohesion, and how it constitutes another burden on women, to contraception, to the true nature of gallantry, from the culture of rape to diets, from safety in public spaces to retirement, along with social issues such as police violence, women's rights, and green capitalism.

With Peter Glanting's powerful illustrations, author Adam Bessie, an English professor and graphic essayist, uses the unique historical moment of the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst to explore the existing inequalities and student struggles that plague the public education system. This graphic memoir chronicles the reverberations from the onset of the pandemic in 2020 when students and educators left their physical classrooms for remote learning. As a professor at a community college, Bessie shows how despite these challenges, teachers work tirelessly to create a more equitable educational system by responding to mental health issues and student needs.

In the Italian countryside, Guido and his friends Moreno and Katango spin out their days in languor and boredom intermixed with desire and, occasionally, violence. Nearby live the Stancic, a family of Romani who escaped the communist regime of Marshal Tito and settled here just after World War II. Guido's coming-of-age is changed by the evolving relationship that the rural town has with this group of outsiders, these 'gypsies.' The author is unsparing in his depiction of the townspeople's cruelty. And yet, there are also many instances of solidarity between Guido's community and the Stancic.
