This harrowing story of Hiroshima was one of the original Japanese manga series. New and unabridged, this is an all-new translation of the author's first-person experiences of Hiroshima and its aftermath, is a reminder of the suffering war brings to innocent people. Its emotions and experiences speak to children and adults everywhere. Volume one of this ten-part series details the events leading up to and immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

    Hiroshima es sin duda uno de esos libros que todo el mundo debería conocer. Las cien primeras páginas son uno de los mejores y más sólidos alegatos que he leído en contra de la guerra, y las 50 últimas reflejan con una terrible crudeza las consecuencias de la bomba atómica y la crueldad a la que puede llegar el ser humano.

    El libro es además una oportunidad para ver el otro lado. Desde siempre la segunda guerra mundial se nos ha explicado desde el punto de vista de los vencedores (ya se sa... (show more)

    Hiroshima es sin duda uno de esos libros que todo el mundo debería conocer. Las cien primeras páginas son uno de los mejores y más sólidos alegatos que he leído en contra de la guerra, y las 50 últimas reflejan con una terrible crudeza las consecuencias de la bomba atómica y la crueldad a la que puede llegar el ser humano.

    El libro es además una oportunidad para ver el otro lado. Desde siempre la segunda guerra mundial se nos ha explicado desde el punto de vista de los vencedores (ya se sabe, la historia la escriben los vencedores) pero nunca nadie nos la había enseñado desde la óptica japonesa. Pues bien, Hiroshima no sólo está escrito desde la óptica japonesa, sino que además es una mirada muy crítica con los japoneses mismos, algo que sin duda constituye un lujo.

    En definitiva, y que conste que no soy amante de los mangas, recomendaría este libro a todo aquel que tuviera un mínimo de interés por la historia y sensibilidad por la vida. (show less)

    I picked up book 1 of "Barefoot Gen" at the subtle suggestion of my Missus (subtle meaning simply that she was reading it, and she is quite gifted at separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to manga, so...) and quickly went from the feeling of reading something casually to that of reading something IMPORTANT. Sure, it leans quite a bit on the ol' manga clichés (Disney-esque drawing, hyper-violence, hair-trigger emotional reactions), but despite that -- or in this case, pe... (show more)

    I picked up book 1 of "Barefoot Gen" at the subtle suggestion of my Missus (subtle meaning simply that she was reading it, and she is quite gifted at separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to manga, so...) and quickly went from the feeling of reading something casually to that of reading something IMPORTANT. Sure, it leans quite a bit on the ol' manga clichés (Disney-esque drawing, hyper-violence, hair-trigger emotional reactions), but despite that -- or in this case, perhaps even because of it -- Book 1 of Nakazawa's story takes on horrific and incredible weight in its closing and bears it without breaking a sweat (which might be another manga cliché -- characters easy to sweat -- that the artist puts to abundant use). Book 2 cannot get here fast enough. (show less)
