Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. artsy black and white illustrations and a mishmash of words that provide "impressions" of a historical figure. I wouldn't call it a graphic biography in the least--though the artwork is fine, the accompanying text is a string of partial phrases that one struggles to find meaning in unless one is already well-versed in all things "Che." The reader gets no explanation as to what one phrase means, or how it might be connected to the other phrases in a string, so it doesn't work as a biography--but as (a reproduction of?) a historic piece of secretly subversive propaganda, vaguely following the life of a revolutionary figure, it is still of interest to scholars, etc.? I read through p. 25, and some of the backmatter (to try to figure out WTF this was supposed to be) but decided I wouldn't get much out of finishing the rest of the 88 pages. Il Che non è la sola leggenda di questo albo; ma sono gli autori stessi che sono entrati nella storia per il contributo culturale che hanno dato alla lotta contro la cultura delle dittature sudamericane. Osterheld e i due Breccia raccontano la vita de il Che partendo dall’infanzia, da una sera in riva al lago in cui il vero eroe della rivoluzione cubana si ammalò di asma, passando per gli studi in medicina e per i lunghi viaggi in motocletta lungo le Ande. Le prime battaglie civili a favore dei più poveri e la possibilità di vivere una rivoluzione, la sua rivoluzione, quella di Cuba, con la destituzione di Batista e l’inizio del governo di Fidel Castro; in realtà l’ennesimo sogno che si è trasformato in incubo; l’uomo non è nato per dare troppe regole ad un altro uomo. Il tratto denso, tipico di Alberto e Enrique Breccia si integra perfettamente con il racconto scarno ed essenziale di Osterheld. Una vera chicca è la postfazione di Boris Battaglia che fornisce interessanti elementi di approfondimenti: ad esempio, la cena tra Borges, Pinochet e Videla. Un albo importante, sopravvissuto alle troppe scomparse di cose e persone nell’Argentina degli anni 70. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
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. It was a lost comic until a publisher in Spain restored it in 1987 -- and never 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." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
