Durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX, el historiador alemán Aby Warburg y la librera estadounidense Sylvia Beach llevaron a cabo dos magníficos proyectos intelectuales que hoy día forman parte de la mitología cultural de la modernidad. La biblioteca Warburg, en Hamburgo --donde vio la luz el fascinante Atlas Mnemosyne--, y la librería Shakespeare & Company, en París, redefinieron la relación entre los lectores y los escritores, el arte, los libros, la literatura.
Los destinos paralelos de ambos personajes dialogan en estas páginas con los de otras figuras revolucionarias del mundo del arte y la escritura, como Mary Wollstonecraft, pionera del feminismo y madre de la creadora de Frankenstein, el editor londinense Joseph Johnson, la librera neoyorquina Frances Steloff o el artista cosmopolita y conceptual Marcel Duchamp.
Las vidas de todos ellos se entrecruzan a través de los ecos y las metáforas que propone esta original novela gráfica, un deslumbrante ensayo narrativo entre las viñetas y el collage.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An extremely original graphic novel about bookstores, libraries, and crossed fates.
During the first decades of the twentieth century, German historian Aby Warburg and American bookseller Sylvia Beach carried out two magnificent intellectual projects that nowadays are part of the cultural mythos of modernity. The Warburg Library in Hamburg--where the fascinating Mnemosyne Atlas came to be--and the Shakespeare & Company bookstore in Paris redefined the relationship between readers and writers, between art, books, and literature.
The parallel destinies of both characters converse in these pages with other revolutionary figures in the art and literature world, such as Mary Wollstonecraft, feminism pioneer and mother of the creator of Frankenstein, Londoner editor Joseph Johnson, New Yorker bookseller Frances Steloff, or the cosmopolitan and conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp.
Their lives intersect through the echoes and metaphors proposed in this original graphic novel, a dazzling narrative essay, mix of vignettes and collage.
