The original three-volume anthology The Graphic Canon presented the world's classic literature, from ancient times to the late twentieth century-as eye-popping comics, illustrations, and other visual forms. In this follow-up volume, young people's literature through the ages is given new life by the best comics artists and illustrators. Fairy tales, fables, fantastical adventures, young adult novels, swashbuckling yarns, your favorite stories from childhood and your teenage years. They're all here, in all their original complexity and strangeness, before they were censored or sanitized. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The most complete Gilgamesh in translation, including the new discoveries from tablet V. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the Uhr epic - the hero's journey, quest, and education - inscribed onto damp clay tablets several millennia before Odysseus or the priest of Ecclesiastes found their voices. Sumerian versions of the epic date back almost 5000 years. It is a Bildungsroman of a bad king learning to become a proper human being and therefore a wise king, and to do so, besides defeating lions and monsters and surviving great physical and emotional suffering, he must face, and answer, the first (and last) great question: mortality. Translated into English and presented here in its entirety as a graphic novel, this version of The Epic of Gilgamesh is a father/son project by scholar and translator Kent H. Dixon and his son, the comix artist Kevin Dixon, who bring a fresh take on this great work. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

We Live Here! is a graphic novel biography of the members of the local activist group Detroit Eviction Defense combatting-and beating-calls for their eviction. By illustrating the stories of families struggling against evictions, the book gives a voice to those who have remained in Detroit, showing the larger complexities at work in a beleaguered city. These are everyday people fighting back, organizing with others, going into the streets, and winning their homes back. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

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

Volume 2 of The Graphic Canon delivers a 19th-century cornucopia that includes Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly's versions of Poe's visions, Eisner Award-winning artist Bill Sienkiewicz's take on Moby-Dick, and, for the first time, a selection from Huckleberry Finn exactly as Twain wrote it. The bad boys of Romanticism - Shelley, Keats, and Byron - are here along with the Bront? sisters, Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra and Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Frankenstein joins Thoreau's Walden and two of Emily Dickinson's greatest poems. (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.

Here are Teddy Goldenberg's dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett's 'The Road Home,' often considered the first hardboiled detective story ever published. Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the so-called fairy tale 'Bluebeard' by Charles Perrault. Landis Blair reimagines The Trial as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win, and Ted Rall retells an O. Henry story about a petty criminal who just can't get arrested. Plus 28 other contributors using a wide range of illustrative styles. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels Annullato/esaurito (Cancelled by PREVIEWS)

Bernie Sanders puzzles the establishment. A self-identified socialist, long affiliated with no politcal party, from the tiny state of Vermont, Sanders has been relentlessly marginalized and ridiculed by the national politcal power brokers and the media that supports them. Yet, his presidential campaign against the 'inevitable' Hillary Clinton is already posing a credible threat to her in Iowa and New Hampshire. Who is Bernie Sanders? What accounts for his seemingly overnight rise from marginal figure to national player? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

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.

A Cinderella story for the Internet age! A few years ago, 32-year-old Markus 'Notch' Persson of Stockholm was an unknown and bored computer programmer. Today, he is a multi-millionaire international icon. Minecraft, the 'virtual Lego' game Markus crafted in his free time, has become one of the most talked about activities since Tetris. Talked about by tens of millions of people, in fact. It is the story of unlikely success, fast money, and the power of digital technology to rattle an empire. And it is about creation, exclusion, and the feeling of not fitting in. Here Markus opens up for the first time about his life. About his old Lego-filled desk at school. About the first computer his father brought home one day. But also about growing up in a family marked by drug abuse and conflict. But above all it is the story of the fine line between seeming misfit and creative madman, and the birth of a tech visionary. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

This gorgeous, one-of-a-kind trilogy brings classic literatures of the world together with legendary graphic artists and illustrators. From a rarely seen R. Crumb rendering of James Boswell's London Journal to a manga Macbeth, there are more than 130 literary works, reinterpreted here for readers and collectors of all ages. Volume 1 whirls us from eye-popping renditions of the great epics Gilgamesh, The Odyssey (in water colors by Gareth Hinds), The Divine Comedy, and The Canterbury Tales (the latter two by legendary illustrator and graphic designer Seymour Chwast), to Robert Crumb's rarely seen adaptation of James Boswell's London Journal, filled with philosophical debate and lowbrow debauchery.
