The Contract With God Trilogy
Book (italiano):
With graphic narrative that "was closer to the writing of Bernard Malamud or Isaac Bashevis Singer than any comic art which had preceded it" (<i>The Economist</i>), <i>Contract with God</i>, originally published in 1978, was the first graphic novel: the prototype; along with <i>A Life Force</i> and <i>Dropsie Avenue</i>; for such seminal works as <i>Maus</i> and <i>Persepolis</i>. Set during the Great Depression, this literary trilogy, assembled in one volume for the first time, presents a treasure house of now near-mythic stories that fictionally illustrate the bittersweet tenement life of Eisner's youth. With nearly one dozen new illustrations and a revealing brand-new foreword, this book ultimately tells the epic story of life, death, and resurrection while exploring man's fractious relationship with an all-too-vengeful God. This mesmerizing, fictional chronicle of the universal American immigrant experience is Eisner's most poignant and enduring legacy.
