摘要:
This first English-language translation of Nakazawa's autobiography includes twenty pages of excerpts from Barefool Gen to give readers who don't know the manga a taste of its power and scope. A recent interview with the author brings his life up to the present. His trenchant hostility to Japanese imperialism, the emperor and the emperor system, and U.S. policy adds important nuance to the debate over Hiroshima. Despite the grimness of his early life, Nakazawa never succumbs to pessimism or defeatism. His trademark optimism and activism shine through in this inspirational work. --Book Jacket.

出版商概要
PRAISE FOR NAKAZAWA KEIJI'S BAREFOOT GEN Some of the best comics ever done... -- R. Crumb It might seem odd that a comic book could teach us so much about the unspeakable, but that is what Barefoot Gen does, in an inspiring way. Hiroshima: The Autobiography of Barefoot Gen is the equally gripping but true story of A-bomb survivor and artist, Nakazawa Keiji, and how his now-classic manga, or comic book, came to be. Read it, and never forget. -- Frederik L. Schodt Barefoot Gen eloquently depicts the experience of surviving an atomic bomb, deriving its power from the individuality of its characters and its emotional honesty. Richard Minear introduces us here to Gen as an adult, revealing the process by which Nakazawa Keiji decided to tell his story--when no one wanted to hear it. Nakazawa inherited his father's outrage at hypocrisy, and the manga is primarily a eulogy to his father and little brother. But this version of his life story shows that Nakazawa owes his bravery to his mother, who suffered for many years after 1945 from both long-term radiation sickness and the casual cruelty of unsympathetic relatives. -- Hein, Laura PRAISE FOR NAKAZAWA KEIJI'S BAREFOOT GEN Gen haunts me. [It] effectively bears witness to one of the central horrors of our time. Give yourself over to ... this extraordinary book... -- Art Spiegelman PRAISE FOR NAKAZAWA KEIJI'S BAREFOOT GEN Gen haunts me. [It] effectively bears witness to one of the central horrors of our time. Give yourself over to ... this extraordinary book. -- Art Spiegelman PRAISE FOR NAKAZAWA KEIJI'S BAREFOOT GEN Some of the best comics ever done. -- R. Crumb We can find a lot to be thankful for in Keiji Nakazawa's works like Hiroshima and Barefoot Gen, which are redemptive tales of striving for peace as well as tales of anger at the follies of governments and those in power. I for one am thankful that Nakazawa fell in love with comics and decided to become a manga artist. Anime News Network In his moving autobiography, Nakazawa recounts how he transformed his experiences into the adventures of his alter-ago Gen Nakaoka. Los Angeles Times 再读一些...
