Description

Blurb:
What impact did World War II and the dropping of the atomic bomb have on the common people of Japan? Through the eyes of an average woman living in 1955, Japanese artist Fumiyo Kouno answers these questions. This award-winning manga appears in an English translation for the first time. Fumiyo Kouno’s light, free style of drawing evokes a tender reflection of this difficult period in Hiroshima’s postwar past. As the characters continue with everyday life, the shadow of the war and the atomic bombing linger ghostlike in the background. Kouno’s beautiful storytelling touches the reader’s heart but is never overly sentimental.
Welchen Einfluss hatten der Zweite Weltkrieg sowie der Abwurf der Atombombe auf das gemeine Volk Japans? Mit den Augen einer durchschnittlichen Frau aus dem Jahr 1955 beantwortet der japanische Künstler Fumiyo Kouno genau diese Fragen. Auch wenn die handelnden Personen wieder mit ihrem Alltag fortfahren, haftet noch immer die grausige Erinnerung an den Krieg an ihnen.
Texto de presentación:
Año 1955. Han pasado 10 años desde aquel ardiente destello. En la ciudad de Hiroshima, el alma de una joven tiembla, tiembla con cada vez más fuerza. ¿Qué significó la guerra … ?¿Y qué significó la bomba atómica … ?¿Para los más débiles? ¡Una obra desgarradora en la que la autora ha vertido toda su alma!
Testo della bandella:
È il 1955, e Minami vive nella consapevolezza che nonostante tutti gli sforzi, pro-babilmente non riuscirà mai più a essere felice. Eppure il mondo continua a esistere nonostante le più grandi tragedie, e Minami sta per scoprire che i fiori di ciliegio, così delicati e fragili, possono tornare a fiorire, intorno e dentro di lei.
