Description
Beautiful new hardcover edition of Barefoot Gen Volume Six! Striking new design with special sturdy binding. Barefoot Gen is the powerful, tragic, autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the artist as a young boy growing up in Japan. The honest portrayal of emotions and experiences speaks to children and adults everywhere. Nakazawa's manga illustrates the true impact of nuclear weapons when used against a civilian population. It is vital reading for people of all ages, and especially for today's youth. By keeping this tragedy in our collective consciousness, we can strive to never repeat it and guide humanity towards a course of peace. Barefoot Gen Volume Six ―"Writing the Truth" ― Gen's brother, Koji, has gone away to work in the coal mines, but has since disappeared, and meanwhile, Gen fights against a corrupt medical system, the discriminatory practices of his neighbors, and the American presence in postwar Japan.
