![]() ![]() Author: Eisner Will; Plazzi A. (cur.) Publisher: Fandango Libri 'Un contratto con Dio', pubblicata originariamente nel 1978 e qui riproposta con 'A Life Force' e 'Dropsie Avenue' in una trilogia voluta dall'editore americano W.W. Norton, con una serie di illustrazioni e una nuova introduzione scritta da Eisner per questa edizione. La storia che dà il titolo al volume si svolge - come tutte le altre - in un caseggiato del Bronx, famoso quartiere di New York, al numero 55 di Dropsie Avenue, negli anni della Grande Depressione, e racconta la vicenda di un ebreo osservante che perde la fede in Dio quando sua figlia muore. Momenti di vita di gente comune, spesso immigrati di prima generazione, culture e abitudini diverse prendono vita e forma nello scorrere delle tante storie che compongono il volume. Dolore e sofferenza ma anche gioia e speranza si incidono sulle pagine. Attingendo anche alla tradizione ebraica e al ricordo autobiografico della propria giovinezza a New York, Eisner compone una cronaca in forma di narrazione dell'esperienza di vita in America, dando voce al bene, al male e a quelle sfumature di grigio che spesso definiscono l'equilibrio tra le diverse forze in gioco. € 28,00

![]() ![]() Author: Eisner Will, Poplaski Peter Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork, the third and final book in the Will Eisner Instructional Series, finally reveals the secrets of Eisner's own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling. From his earliest comics, including the celebrated Spirit, to his pioneering graphic novels, Eisner understood that the proper use of anatomy is crucial to effective storytelling. His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner's mastery of expression, both subtle and overt, Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative will benefit comics fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft. € 21,50

![]() ![]() Author: Eisner Will Publisher: Fandango Libri Rileggendo Oliver Twist dal punto di vista di Fagin, Will Eisner ci fa conoscere sotto nuova luce e con inedita profondità uno dei personaggi più malfamati della storia della letteratura. In Fagin l'Ebreo, pubblicato negli Stati Uniti nel 2003 e considerato un capolavoro del genere graphic novel, Eisner dimostra ancora una volta di essere non soltanto un maestro nell'arte del racconto a fumetti, ma anche un acuto critico letterario e un attento osservatore della società. Nell'arco di settant'anni, per tutta la sua carriera di artista, Eisner era diventato via via più insofferente agli stereotipi sugli ebrei, diffusi in maniera tenace in tanti classici della letteratura. Osservando le illustrazioni delle edizioni originali di Oliver Twist, aveva deciso che era giunto il momento di affrontare la realtà e raccontare quella parte della vita di Fagin che Charles Dickens aveva ignorato. Nel suo stile magistrale, Eisner raffigura il malvagio Fagin come un individuo complesso e tormentato, e attraverso la sua storia rappresenta la vita della comunità ashkenazita nella Londra dell'Ottocento: uno sguardo provocatorio sulla povertà, il pregiudizio e l'antisemitismo dell'epoca, una memorabile riflessione storica, una narrazione per immagini di rara forza evocativa. € 20,00

Alle avventure di The Spirit è ispirato l'omonimo film di Frank Miller, con Scarlett Johansson, Èva Mendes e Samuel L. Jackson. € 18,00
