The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
6.99 €
A celebrated novel by a modern classicist, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, finalist for many other prestigious literary awards, Entertainment Weekly's Book of the Decade; War and Peace in the American way - without aristocrats but with superheroes, an epic story of friendship, love and loneliness, human tragedy and a new art. "Cavalier & Clay" is the creative duo of the brilliant draftsman Joseph Cavalier and his New York cousin Sammy Kleiman, a writer with a truly boundless imagination. Josef (called Joe in his new homeland), an illusionist's apprentice, makes his first successful escape: from German-occupied Prague, sharing a coffin with the mystical symbol of the Jewish people, the Prague Golem. Joe and Sam begin to produce a comic book about the superhero Escapist - and the more alarming the news coming from Europe, the more illusory Joe's hopes to save his relatives left in Prague, the harder Escapist beats the Nazis... The novel is published in a new translation and with additional materials - deleted scenes, a new afterword from the author and much more.
