DESCRIPCIÓN DEL LIBRO/BOOK DESCRIPTION
Español:
La Conspiración es el legado que nos deja Will Eisner, que acabó la obra durante su último mes de vida, y ha sido considerada por algunos críticos como su obra más comprometida, una nueva novela gráfica en la que el maestro demuestra una vez más que la narrativa gráfica carece de límites temáticos.
English:
The Plot examines the outrageous fabrication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world. Hatched as an anti-Semitic plot by the tsar’s secret police to deflect widespread criticism of the government, the Protocols, first published in 1905, succeeded beyond the propagandistic ambitions of its originators; the lie became an internationally accepted truth.
Presenting a pageant of historical figures including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Eisner exposes the twisted history of the Protocols from nineteenth-century Russia to modern-day Klan members to Islamic fundamentalists. The Plot unravels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century.
This is Eisner’s final work, completed shortly before his death in January 2005.
This renowned cartoonist’s career spanned more than sixty years. His works earned him a huge following among comic fans and great admiration among fellow comic artists. He is known as the "Elvis of comics" and the "father of the graphic novel". The Eisner Awards are named for him.
The Plot has a socially relevant message about racism and racial tolerance.
This book is equally suitable for trade and library markets and can be used in school curricula.
