Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is an extraordinary graphic novel recounting the true story of one young Argentine soldier's experience of war. Its visceral depiction of terrifying events is presented in dramatic monochrome, stripped of distracting detail, giving emphasis to facial expression, staccato dialogue and sonorous sound, together with a refusal to excuse or sugar-coat the extremes of warfare or of the behaviour of those caught up in the turmoil. The reader is spared no disturbing detail, be it bodily functions, desires, fear, the young conscripts' hatred of the enemy and sometimes even their own officers. The stark graphics delineate a bleak treeless land with stony terrain and forbidding mountains, while in the shortening days of a petrifying winter the dialogue and action transmit the intensifying horror of armed conflict. "In twenty years of reading the testimonies, from both sides, of the harrowing experiences of survivors of the 1982 war, rarely have I encountered a text more directly capturing the irresponsibility, the futility, of exposing ill-equipped young conscripts to peril, trauma and the unrelenting imminence of violent death as depicted in Fried Polenta Scones." Bernard McGuirk, author of Falklands-Malvinas: An Unfinished Business This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Esta es una extraordinaria novela grafica que relata la veridica experiencia de guerra de un joven soldado argentino. La energica representacion de eventos aterradores se presenta en dramatica monocromia, despojada de detalles distrayentes y enfatizando expresiones faciales, el dialogo entrecortado y los efectos sonoros, al mismo tiempo que rechaza justificar o dulcificar los extremos propios de la guerra o los del desempeno de aquellos capturados en la accion. El lector no pasa de detalles perturbadores, ya sean estos funciones corporales, anhelos, miedos, o el odio de los jovenes reclutas hacia el enemigo y -a veces- hacia sus propios oficiales. Los graficos severos muestran una tierra desolada y sin arboles, de suelo pedregoso y montanas imponentes al tiempo que, en los dias cada vez mas breves de un invierno petrificante, la accion y el dialogo transmiten el horror cada vez mas profundo del conflicto armado. "Una obra que es, al mismo tiempo, creacion y documento, invencion y testimonio. En ese sentido, es historia de las dos, de la que se escribe con mayusculas y de la que se escribe con minusculas. Y en esa conjuncion encuentra originalidad, compromiso y belleza." Antonio Altarriba, autor de El arte de volar This item is printed on demand.
