Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the United States, ninety miles from Cuban shores, tempers flare on the subject of Fidel Castro: some say he is a liberator, some say a dictator. In Fidel, Nestor Kohan and Nahuel Scherma present one of the towering figures of the twentieth-century as he is seen by Latin Americans: as the leader who, for over fifty years, has stood up to the greatest military power in the world, and remained standing.Here, in Kohan's incisive prose and Scherma's passionate illustrations, is the man who, inspired by decades of Latin American Marxist thinking, fought from the mountains of the Sierra Maestra to free his country the man who walked the razor's edge between military threats by the United States and political coercion by the Soviet Union the man who became a leader in the revolution against colonial governments from Angola to Vietnam to Latin America the man who fought, above all, to transform the conscience of his people, spreading literacy, culture, and free medical care to everyone on the island. Here is Fidel the man who became the symbol of the revolution in the New World. Nahuel Scherma (illustrator).…

Condition: New. A 80 años del nacimiento del Che; y a cuarenta de la aparición de Vida del Che, aquella primera edición publicada por la mítica Editorial Jorge álvarez, Guevara ¿sigue sacudiendo las conciencias del mundo con su mensaje revolucionario o se transformó en una figurita de cierto valor romántico apropiada por el marketing de una joven rebeldía soft? ¿Fracasó en su lucha, fue traicionado? ¿La proliferación mediática del Che terminó devaluando su dimensión ética y política? Demasiadas preguntas con muchas respuestas posibles. Para Enrique Breccia, "Guevara decidió irse de Cuba por sus profundas diferencias políticas con Fidel Castro. Fidel ya se había convertido en un Ôgurka al servicio de la Unión Soviética; y había alineado a la isla y a su gobierno con el imperialismo soviético, para actuar como un peón en la lucha que la URSS tenía con los EE. UU. por el poder hegemónico mundial. El Che dejó escritos donde expresa claramente sus disidencias políticas, tanto con el régimen cubano como con la política de la Unión Soviética hacia la isla. En este contexto, puede decirse que Guevara fue una víctima del carácter bifronte del poder mundial de esos días. Un imperialismo lo entregó y el otro imperialismo lo ejecutó. El que lo entregó, después lo mitificó para prestigiar una revolución que traicionó todos los principios que la gestaron. Y el imperialismo que lo ejecutó, banalizó su trayectoria incorporándolo al mercado desde un costado superficialmente estético, en forma de pósteres, remeras y artículos de mercadeo. Si hay un mensaje que rescatar de la figura del Che es la de un hombre que, habiendo alcanzado los máximos cargos políticos en Cuba, abandonó todo y prefirió morir a dejar de ser fiel a sí mismo y traicionarse". *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En 1984 Mauricio Vicent tiene veinte años y, harto de Madrid, viaja a La Habana, donde, fascinado, decide quedarse. Descubre una Cuba sin apenas turismo, donde el espíritu de la revolución es palpable y donde el bloqueo norteamericano y las propias ineficiencias han hecho mella: libretas de racionamiento, tiendas paralelas, tráfico de divisas, niños con nombres rusos. . . : "Por aquel entonces tenía veinte años y estaba bastante harto de la vida en España. La movida madrileña estaba en su apogeo, pero tanto exceso aburría. De Cuba sólo sabía que unos barbudos habían hecho una revolución y el más famoso era Fidel Castro", asegura Vicent. A través de las anécdotas en clave de humor mordaz del protagonista recién llegado, se descubre el pulso real de la Cuba de la época, en vísperas del Periodo Especial y de la fuerte crisis económica que hundiría la isla tras la caída de la Unión Soviética. Mauricio Vicent acabó siendo corresponsal en Cuba para el diario El País durante veinte años, desde 1991 hasta 2011, y sus vivencias juveniles en la isla están plasmadas en viñetas por el dibujante y cineasta cubano Juan Padrón, quien dirigió la película Vampiros en La Habana y cuyos dibujos animados han marcado a generaciones de cubanos. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. No desde que leí MAUS sentí tanta cercanía con unas viñetas que se desdibujaban como una biografía tan personal como histórica. Hubo en el curso de mi vida afición sobre esta modalidad más madura del comic con los dibujos elegantes de algunos artistas que publicaban en los años 70 en la revista italiana Linus. La inmediatez testimonial de esta narrativa ilustrada cobra sentido al constatar los pasos en la vida de una pequeña comunidad norte-americana antiimperialista comprometida con la izquierda en los albores de la toma del poder en Cuba por Fidel Castro y su posterior consolidación como Líder Máximo. La desilusión paso a paso va desvelándose amargamente desde la llegada de la protagonista y autora a la isla hasta su despedida. Este capítulo de la historia cubana nunca se ha narrado. Deja particularmente en evidencia a los exégetas como Herbert Mathews, Jean-Paul Sartre, entre otros, sean "left wing liberals" o "gauche divine". Si la verdad histórica existe, se muestra aquí en otra faceta del caleidoscopio y pesadilla que todos hemos vivido. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -- Translated from the German, Castro is the first graphic novel to depict the revolutionary life of Fidel Castro. This is the first North American edition; the first English-language edition was published by Selfmade Hero in the UK in 2011 (it was never released outside of Europe).- The announcement in December 2014 by President Obama and Cuban president Raul Castro that the US and Cuba would begin a process of normalizing relations has propelled Cuba back into the American spotlight, 55 years after the Cuban revolution of 1959.- The book reveals the life of Castro as seen through the eyes of a German journalist visiting the country as it is thrust into revolution in 1958. We witness Castro's intellectual coming of age as a young man; his charismatic ascent to power after the revolution; his confrontation with and subsequent falling-out with America and, later, post-Soviet Russia; and his defiant, divisive later years, finally retiring in 2008 due to poor health.- Author Kleist visited Cuba in 2008, which provided rich material for this graphic novel.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La biografía en viñetas de dos personajes icónicos del siglo XX, firmada por los grandes maestros del cómic argentino. Vida del Che empieza en Bolivia, en 1967, en los días finales de Ernesto «Che» Guevara, pero nos recupera los episodios más importantes de su vida en un audaz montaje de escenas: su infancia, su viaje iniciático por América Latina, su contacto con la lucha armada en Guatemala, su encuentro con Fidel Castro, su labor militar y política En Cuba. Vida y obra de Eva Perón nos conduce también por los momentos estelares de quien fue considerada «Jefa Espiritual de la Nación» argentina: su fama como actriz radiofónica, su lucha por lograr el sufragio femenino, su labor como como Primera Dama junto a Perón, y su empeño en mejorar los servicios sociales del país, así como sus viajes para representar a Argentina en el extranjero.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Life of Che is one of the most anticipated entries in Fantagraphics' The Alberto Breccia Library. Originally released as part of a graphic biography series in January 1969, it came out in Argentina only a year after Ernesto 'Che' Guevara had died and reached an audience beyond comics readers. In the 1970s, the military government raided its publisher, destroying the means to reprint the book. The comic was presumed to be lost to history, until a publisher in Spain restored it in 1987. It has never been translated into English until now.The book begins in Bolivia in 1967, then flashes back through Che's life -- his childhood, his radicalizing motorcycle trip with Alberto Granado, his taking up of arms in Guatemala, his meeting with Fidel Castro, and his subsequent military and political maneuvers, ending in a fade-out to his death. Alberto Breccia and his son, Enrique, drew Life of Che. Enrique draws the Bolivia passages in a woodcut style, while Alberto depicts the flashbacks in his trademark, expressionistic black-and-white. It is primarily set in the field and with the people. Héctor Germán Oesterheld (The Eternaut) blends his authorial voice with Che's first-person. Life of Che is imbued with a sense of immediacy, as both Che and, eventually, Oesterheld would meet their ends by a military government backed by the American CIA. As Pablo Turnes writes in his afterword, it is 'the testament of someone consciously marching toward his revolutionary death.'.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A fun-filled, full color look at the culture and politics of the 20th century. For nearly fifty years, the celebrated humorist Charles Carvin (1897-1974) drew his own Christmas cards, elaborate cartoon productions that sometimes unfolded to several pages, poking good natured fun at the political and cultural icons of America (and the world) between 1928 and 1971 -- from the Great Depression and World War II to the space race and the civil rights movement. The cast of characters ranges from Calvin Coolidge and FDR to John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, from Adolf Hitler and Franklin Roosevelt to Nikita Krushchev and Fidel Castro, from Mae West and Will Rogers to Bob Hope and Milton Berle, from Segar's Popeye to Schulz's Charlie Brown and Snoopy. This complete collection of the cards and other drawings has 217 illustrations, mostly in full color, with explanatory notes and an introduction by the artist's grandson.

Now for the first time, he draws his own life, revisiting his childhood in Cuba and his family's passage on the infamous Mariel boatlift.When Edel was nine, Fidel Castro announced his surprising decision to let 125,000 traitors of the revolution, or 'worms,' leave the country. The faltering economy and Edel's family's vocal discomfort with government surveillance had made their daily lives on a farm outside Havana precarious, and they secretly planned to leave. But before that happened, a dozen soldiers confiscated their home and property and imprisoned them in a detention center near the port of Mariel, where they were held with dissidents and criminals before being marched to a flotilla that miraculously deposited them, overnight, in Florida.Through vivid, stirring art, Worm tells a story of a boyhood in the midst of the Cold War, a family's displacement in exile, and their tenacious longing for those they left behind. It also recounts the coming-of-age of an artist and activist, who, witnessing American's turn from democracy to extremism, struggles to differentiate his adoptive country from the dictatorship he fled. Confronting questions of patriotism and the liminal nature of belonging, Edel Rodriguez ultimately celebrates the immigrants, maligned and overlooked, who guard and invigorate American freedom.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - En los Estados Unidos, a noventa millas de las costas cubanas, el tema de Fidel Castro enciende a la gente: algunos dicen que es un dictador, otros dicen que es un libertador. En Fidel, Néstor Kohan y Nahuel Scherma presentan a una de las figuras sobresalientes del siglo veinte desde la perspectiva latinoamericana: como el líder que, durante más de cincuenta años, hizo frente al poder militar más grande del mundo, y se mantuvo de pie. Aquí, en la prosa mordaz de Kohan y las ilustraciones apasionadas de Scherma, aparece el hombre quien, inspirado por décadas de pensamiento marxista latinoamericano, luchó desde las montañas de Sierra Maestra para liberar a su país--el hombre que caminó al borde de la línea fina entre las amenazas militares de los Estados Unidos y la coerción política de la Unión Soviética--el hombre que se convirtió en un líder de la revolución en contra de los gobiernos colonialistas desde Angola a Vietnam a América Latina--el hombre que luchó, sobre todo, para transformar la conciencia de su pueblo, diseminar alfabetismo, cultura, y salud para todos en la isla. Este es Fidel--el hombre que se convirtió en el símbolo de la revolución en el Nuevo Mundo. Scherma, Nahuel; Jones, Miracle (illustrator).…
