Synopsis "Barefoot Gen Volume 3: Hardcover Edition (in English)"

Beautiful new hardcover edition of Barefoot Gen Volume Three! Striking new design with special sturdy binding. Barefoot Gen is the powerful, tragic, autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the artist as a young boy growing up in Japan. The honest portrayal of emotions and experiences speaks to children and adults everywhere. Nakazawa's manga illustrates the true impact of nuclear weapons when used against a civilian population. It is vital reading for people of all ages, and especially for today's youth. By keeping this tragedy in our collective consciousness, we can strive to never repeat it and guide humanity towards a course of peace. Barefoot Gen Volume Three -" Life After the Bomb " -picks up the story with Gen, his mother and his baby brother searching for a place to rest in the bomb's aftermath. Facing rejection, hunger, and humiliation, they realize that they still have -and can share -three crucial possessions: their self-respect, hope and inner strength.

(Hiroshima, 1939 - Tokio, 2012) tenía seis años cuando estalló la bomba atómica, y toda su familia falleció excepto su madre. En 1961 Nakazawa se mudó a Tokio donde trabajó como caricaturista y creó sus primeros mangas cortos. Tras la muerte de su madre en 1966, plasmó en sus historias la destrucción y el caos de Hiroshima. Kuroi Ame ni Utarete (Alcanzado por la lluvia negra), fue el primero de los cinco mangas que realizó en torno a la historia de los supervivientes de Hiroshima. La más conocida de todas estas obras es Pies descalzos. Una historia de Hiroshima, una larga serie de casi tres mil páginas protagonizada por un niño que sobrevive al terror atómico.
