Synopsis "The Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler (in English)"

"Intertwines two stories: the insidious rise of Hitler with his creed of hatred and Bonhoeffer's development as an ethical thinker who believed that radical action was necessary, but that killing was a sin." --New York Times The dramatic true story of German pastor and Nazi resistor Dietrich Bonhoeffer comes to life in this award-winning graphic novel from John Hendrix. Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party is gaining strength and becoming more menacing every day. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor upset by the complacency of the German church toward the suffering around it, forms a breakaway church to speak out against the established political and religious authorities. When the Nazis outlaw the church, he escapes as a fugitive. Struggling to reconcile his faith and the teachings of the Bible with the Nazi Party's evil agenda, Bonhoeffer decides that Hitler must be stopped by any means possible! In his signature style of interwoven handwritten text and art, John Hendrix tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to help free the German people from oppression during World War II. Young readers will be thrilled by the near-miss attempts to kill Hitler. The plots involve deception, gut-wrenching timing, and concealed explosives: a bomb in a gift package, a rigged docent conducting a tour of captured weaponry, and an explosive briefcase snuck into the heart of Hitler's fortress. But Hendrix makes the bold and surprising decision to tell it as a tale of faith. It makes this book unique, one as much about morality as it is about the attempted murder of one of history's most heinous leaders.

The Faithful Spy es un libro fantástico que aborda las vicisitudes que un líder espiritual alemán tuvo que pasar durante el surgimiento del partido Nazi y su ideología hasta el momento cúlmine de la guerra, el triunfo del eje aliado. En medio de un tiempo en el que la iglesia cedió a las presiones y posturas del dios, con d minúscula, del movimiento, Dietrich Bonhoeffer se cuestiona su papel y su actuar se forma que reflejen sus convicciones aún si esto representa la pérdida de su libertad o aún su propia vida. Así y todo, decide quedarse, y lo que sucede antes, durante y después, el autor nos lo presenta de una forma inquietante, confrontante y, paradójicamente, bella. Acompañado de unas ilustraciones de clase mundial, John Hendrix nos regala una obra que no es para la generación de los 40s sino para la nuestra, que nos deleitamos en novelas gráficas, pero que vemos el surgimiento de ideologías del terror, que aumentan en popularidad, pero sus frutos son muerte, autoritarismo y opresión. Como siempre, Buscalibre me hizo llegar el libro en excelentes condiciones y eso ya es un valor agregado. 100% recomendado.
