Barefoot Gen, Volume 1

Barefoot Gen, Volume 1 | Keiji Nakazawa

4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

Beautiful new hardcover edition of Barefoot Gen Volume One! Striking new design with special sturdy binding for institutional use. August 6, 2015 marked the 70th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Today, the danger posed by nuclear weapons is as great as ever, yet few people survive who witnessed their horror. To mark the event, and honor Keiji Nakazawa's incredible work, Last Gasp created a special set of Barefoot Gen, volumes 1-4 for institutional use. 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 One "A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima" details the events leading up to and immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima."

This is the 1st volume of 10. I know I‘d never make it through coz some things you know happened but you really *don‘t* want to know, right?

It does seem Japanese culture of this time was fairly authoritarian & childrearing fairly brutal

I‘ve never been comfortable with the destruction of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. It should never have happened & the second bomb X 🔟

I now have native Japanese & 1/2 Japanese ppl in my family. I love you. ❤️‍🩹💧🏵️

Barefoot Gen, Volume 1 | Keiji Nakazawa

So I finally went to the Alameda library today and got myself a library card. It‘s been a really long time. Not that I don‘t love libraries but I‘m a bit obsessed with owning books. Giving them back just seems so wrong! But I was. Turned onto these graphic novels and there are at least 10 and at $15 a piece the library seemed a good choice.

Sace One more #manga for me to check out! 😁 7y

A very interesting graphic novel recounting the life before the bombing of Hiroshima, as well as during the attack. I'll definitely read the rest of the series!
