        HISTORICAL

        by Selection and editing by Marta Mearin and Juan Francisco Bascuñán Illustrations: Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn

        Historical is a journey through the lives of 15 women who made history, based on illustrations of them by Polish artist Joanna Styrylska-Gałażyn. These graphic representations are accompanied by texts of diverse literary genres, written especially for this edition by young writers of different nationalities: Chilean, Latin American, Catalan. For each character, a brief biography and a text is included that seeks to connect the reader to the woman being honored, mixing real information with fictitious events: some occur in the future, others explore the most intimate dimension of the protagonist or personify her through poetry. The illustrations and stories that make up this book seek to make visible the importance of women in the immense number of areas from which they have been systematically excluded: science, art, technology, sports, activism and academia, among others. In this way, the book concentrates different aspects of feminist struggles capable of transcending time and space.

        Good Friend, Cancer

        by Pam Pam Liu

        When my mother gets cancer for the second time, she asked if I would keep her company through her chemotherapy. And of course, I said yes. But how am I meant to cope with it all? Pam Pam uses a clean but comical style to portray the joys and sorrows of accompanying a loved one through an illness.     Despite the technical and medical wonders of the modern age, cancer remains one of humanity’s biggest enemies. And while we all know the patients themselves suffer, what of their loved ones, who find themselves sudden becoming carers, struggling with negative emotions, drained by the demands upon them? They too face a long physical and emotional battle.   Good Friend, Cancer is a daughter’s first-hand account of her mother’s chemotherapy treatment. Finding herself now responsible for caring for her mother, she worries as she waits in the hospital that maybe her genes mean the same fate is in store for her. And she is also resentful – she has missed out on a change to follow her dreams and travel overseas. And most of all, and most unanswerably: why her?   Graphic novelist Pam Pam’s simple style and plain strokes provide a humorous look at a harsh reality and turn misfortunes into charming tales. Over the course of 18 short comics, Pam Pam examines the traditional roles of a “daughter” and the pressures of being an adult as she portrays truths about family relationships which we all recognize – even if we cannot admit to it.

        Son of Formosa

        by Yu Peiyun, Zhou Jianxin

        * 2021 Taipei Book Fair Award   The true story of Tsai Kun-lin, born in Qingshui, Taichung, in 1930, as he lives through Japanese rule and the arrival of the Kuomintang. Polite and a good student, Tsai found himself sentenced to ten years in jail for “membership of an illegal organization” after attending a high school book club. This graphic novel recounts his tenacity and determination.     The 1930s, Japanese-ruled Taiwan. A young boy, Tsai Kun-lin grows up, accompanied by picture books and folk tales. But the merciless flames of World War 2 soon arrive – protests, bombing and conscription will change his life forever.   After the war, the young booklover learns a new language and hopes to finally live a life of peace, never expecting his attendance at a high school book club will land him in jail. Transported to the penal colony for political prisoners on Green Island, he loses ten years of his youth to torture, terror, hard labor, and brainwashing.   This series of graphic novels draws on the actual events of Tsai’s life. At Taichung First Senior High School he was a trainee soldier and a good student; years later he was sentenced to ten years in prison for attending a high school book club. On release he worked in publishing and advertising, and founded Prince, a children’s magazine which kept Taiwan’s cartooning tradition alive during martial law. He raised funds to allow a rural little league team to compete in Taipei and, on retirement, became a human rights activist.   Tsai’s life is Taiwan’s recent history writ small. There is darkness, but always a light; hardship, but always the strength to endure. A simple yet graceful style faithfully recreates the historical scenes, with the accurate use of the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese languages bringing those times to life. The warmth and vitality of the storytelling demonstrate that while we cannot control events, we can, as Tsai did, persevere through them.

        Il Caso Sindelar

        Le inchieste del Commissario Baroni

        by Carlo Bazan, Carlo Rispoli

        Milan, 1939. Commissioner Andrea Baroni, of the Porta Vittoria Police Station, is engaged in a special investigation. Twelve-year-old Matthias Sindelar spent his days, with his peers, kicking an old leather ball in the middle of the street. Soccer was his passion, he was noticed by the team selector Herta ASV in Vienna and from there he took off towards a well-deserved career and the number ten jersey of the Austrian national team. So far it would seem a story like that of many sports champions. But it is not so. Sindelar, who was called by the fans the Mozart of soccer, for his drunken dribbling, has actually become a symbol of the struggle against all dictatorships and regimes and at the same time a mystery, a mystery, which is still debated today.

        Between Two Sounds. The Story Behind the Music of Arvo Pärt

        by Joonas Sildre

        Between Two Sounds tells the story behind the music of the world-famous Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Arvo Pärt’s (b. 1935) music became increasingly popular throughout the world following his forced emigration from then-Soviet Estonia in 1980. International performances and recordings swelled to the point where today, in 2019, there are over 500 professional recordings featuring his works. The online concert tracker Bachtrack has listed him as the world’s most-performed living classical composer for the past eight years running (2011–2018). Pärt’s music, and sometimes that of his imitators, has become ubiquitous in film and television. In spite of this success, Pärt has remained incredibly private and modest, granting almost no interviews. Until now, there have been no biographies published on any part of Pärt’s life. Information about his personal and career developments prior to 1980 has been limited to snippets from print interviews and Estonian film documentaries. The graphic novel Between Two Sounds provides unprecedented insight into this uncovered area. It is worth mentioning that Pärt himself was closely involved in drafting the story and staying true to the facts. Between Two Sounds starts with Pärt’s birth, moves through his youth and the kindling of his love of music, covers his musical education and early years as a composer, and gradually arrives at his retreat from the world as he searched for his own musical voice. Pärt’s first creative period can be called avant-garde modernism. He was perceived as an “angry young man” in the Soviet music scene of the 1960s. The second part of his career emerged in the mid-1970s, when his own spiritual technique evolved: tintinnabuli (little bell-like). The shift between these two fundamentally different musical languages happened slowly but dramatically. Pärt ceased writing music for the public for about a decade, fully immersing in his search for a new, individual compositional technique. Between Two Sounds shows what led him to this change and how he succeeded. The graphic novel also touches upon a universal artistic problem: an inability to fully express oneself through skills or a desired technique. Another sub-theme is Estonians’ struggle during the Soviet occupation: the severe restrictions on the freedom of speech, garnished with attempts to contain and control ideas and beliefs; restrictions that sometimes played out in utterly absurd situations. The repression of Pärt’s career under the Soviet regime eventually culminated in his forced emigration to the West. In October 2018, the first Estonian-language hardcover print of Between Two Sounds was published by the Arvo Pärt Centre in conjunction with Centre’s grand opening. As of February 2019, it has been nominated for six different literary and cultural prizes. It received the annual Golden Book Award from the Estonian National Library and was selected as one of Estonia’s Best Designed Books of 2018. The work has naturally received widespread media attention, including lengthy positive reviews in Estonia’s largest newspapers.

        The Great Air Battles

        by Andrea Laprovitera, Luca Vergerio

        The White Lily of Stalingrad is the first volume of a new series dedicated to the Great Air Battles of the past, but above all to the pilots who took part in them, their courage and self-sacrifice. The human tribute of the pilots of the various nations at war was very high. Also for this reason many of them were young, often barely twenty years old and with very little flying experience that they necessarily acquired while fighting. The White Lily of Stalingrad is centred on the exploits of a girl, barely twenty years old, ace of the Soviet Aviation and pilot of a fighter plane, the Yakovlev Yak-1. A volume not to be missed, of pure Adventure, in the style of Edizioni Segni d'Autore!

        Regreso al Edén (Return To Eden)

        by Paco Roca

        Paco Roca’s homage to his mother and a portrait of post-war Spain Based on a family photo from 1947 taken on the Nazareth beach in Valencia, Paco Roca paints a portrait of post-war Spain featuring one of its many humble families—a reflection of the vast majority of society that survived under Franco’s dictatorship—who faced serious problems in maintaining a livelihood, forced to turn to the black market in order to obtain basic daily provisions. A vigorous and delicate portrait in four colors of a Spain of grey tones and restricted liberties, under a political regime that was a breeding ground for the spread of moral misery. A tribute to autobiographical references, if The House was Paco Roca’s homage to his father, Return to Eden honors the figure of his mother. Emotional and balanced, full of graphic resources and narrative solutions of the highest level, Paco Roca raises his most ambitious work from The House, which received an Eisner Award 2020. Return to Eden will go on sale in Spanish bookstores this Christmas with a first edition of 25,000 copies.
