About the Book

Gen y sus amigos tienen que afrontar las secuelasde la bomba, una realidad casi imposible de aceptar. Han pasado casi dos años desde que estalló la bomba atómica y Japón vive bajo la ocupación militar estadounidense. Mientras los soldados patrullan, en las calles de Hiroshima aún se pueden oír los gemidos de dolor y el llanto de los supervivientes. Para la mayoría de esa gente la guerra todavía no ha terminado. Conviven con ella. La ven cada vez que se miran en el espejo, como Natsue, que tiene el rostro quemado. Gen por su parte, ve como muchos de sus amigos se han quedado huérfanos y corren peligro de caer en manos de los yakuza. Ya ha perdido a uno de ellos, a Bellota, y no permitirá que a Ryuta y a los demás les pase lo mismo. Quiere alejarles del peligro, pero él también tiene sus propios problemas: su madre está muy enferma como consecuencia de la radiación. El segundo volumen de Pies Descalzos, uno de los mejores cómics de la historia. Estoy seguro de que Nakazawa se convertirá en uno de los grandes artistas del cómic del siglo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This compelling autobiography tells the life story of famed manga artist Nakazawa Keiji. Born in Hiroshima in 1939, Nakazawa was six years old when on August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the atomic bomb. His gritty and stunning account of the horrific aftermath is powerfully told through the eyes of a child who lost most of his family and neighbors. In eminently readable and beautifully translated prose, the narrative continues through the brutally difficult years immediately after the war, his art apprenticeship in Tokyo, his pioneering atomic-bomb manga, and the creation of Barefoot Gen, the classic graphic novel based on Nakazawa's experiences before, during, and after the bomb. This first English-language translation of Nakazawa's autobiography includes twenty pages of excerpts from Barefoot 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.
About the Author: Keiji Nakazawa (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.
