Ghost World
One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories. Already one of the most heavily-publicized graphic novels in history, this new edition (featuring new covers by Clowes) should make the book more popular than ever. With lengthy write-ups in Time, Newsweek, Publisher's Weekly, Details, Vogue, Jane, and many others, press interest in the book and film promises to be higher than ever this spring. -
American Born Chinese
围绕三条线索展开: 美猴王大闹天宫是中国家喻户晓的神话故事,而《美生中国人》展现的是一个新鲜的美国版本,有练功,有复仇,有挑战,有失败,有救赎:美猴王有着与生俱来的王者气魄,精通玄妙的功夫和法术,为猴子猴孙敬仰,是世界上最伟大的猴子。但是他不甘心做只猴子,他大闹天宫,想要成为受人朝拜的天神。 美国的华裔少年王谨,在听妈妈讲完“孟母三迁”的中国古代故事之后,跟随父母从住了9年的旧金山唐人街搬到了纯粹的白人社区。他发现自己是学校里唯一的华裔,受尽了欺负,几乎没有朋友。更糟糕的是,他还爱上了一个白人女孩…… 中国人钦西是美国人眼中刻板的中国佬形象,聪明而粗俗,令人生厌。他每年都会从中国去看望美国的表弟丹尼,扰乱他的生活。而丹尼是一名篮球运动员,学校的风云人物,每年都不得不转学以逃避钦西带来的羞耻。这一年,情况更糟了…… 到最后,三条看似毫不相干的线索神奇地融合在一起,令人赞叹地形成了一个融入中国功夫和校园风云的现代寓言,喧闹而发人深醒。这本了不起的漫画线条简单流畅.糅合了中西画风,在东方化的动作和对白设计中,又处处散发出西式幽默。这个以崭新手法讲述ABC少年痛苦,艰辛的身份认同的故事,这趟情节起伏跌宕、峰回略转的自我发现之旅,引起读者的不断喝彩,使越来越多的人坚信:作者杨谨伦是个天才。 《美生中国人》是第1本进入美国小学课本的漫画书;第1本入围美国国家图书奖的漫画书;第1本荣获美国普林兹文学奖的漫画书。 亚马逊网站2006年度最佳漫画书 《出版人周刊》2006年度最佳图书、最佳漫画书、鲁本奖2006年最佳漫画书奖。 埃斯纳奖2007年最佳漫画新书奖。 天才画家用五年心血打造的自传体漫画,借美国版《西游记》诉说美国华人的困境! 中英文双语版方便学习地道校园美语,告诉你一个华裔美国梦的真实侧面,考托福、送孩子出国前一定要看《美生中国人》! -
Blankets
At 592 pages, Blankets may well be the single largest graphic novel ever published without being serialized first. Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work from Craig Thompson. The New Printing corrects 3 small typos, widening the spine graphics, but otherwise is identical to the first printing. -
