Overview
Desde que estalló la bomba atómica, hace casi tres años, Gen no había sentido esperanza. Pero quizá es posible que vuelva a ser feliz a pesar de todo. Además de a su familia, tiene a un grupo de amigos con planes para el futuro. No obstante, el desastre de la bomba sigue atormentando a los supervivientes.
Entre ellos se encuentra el señor Hirayama, quien antes de conocer a Gen y a su variopinta pandilla estaba convencido de que solo le quedaba esperar la muerte. Acogido como un nuevo padre, recobra las fuerzas para escribir una dura crónica sobre Japón. En ella cuenta el verdadero horror de los hechos acaecidos en Hiroshima. Su voz es la de todas las víctimas… Pero en 1948, bajo la ocupación estadounidense y con la refundación del estado japonés todavía a medias, está prohibido hablar de ello.
La tragedia del señor Hirayama no será la única a la que tendrá que enfrentarse Gen; pronto una sombra más fuerte que su espíritu luchador se cernerá sobre quienes más ama.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Barefoot Gen is the powerful, tragic, autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the artist as a young boy growing up in Japan.
The honest portrayal of emotions and experiences speaks to children and adults everywhere. Nakazawa's manga illustrates the true impact of nuclear weapons when used against a civilian population. It is vital reading for people of all ages, and especially for today's youth. By keeping this tragedy in our collective consciousness, we can strive to never repeat it and guide humanity toward a course of peace.
Barefoot Gen Volume Three –" Life After the Bomb " –picks up the story with Gen, his mother, and his baby brother searching for a place to rest in the bomb's aftermath. Facing rejection, hunger, and humiliation, they realize that they still have –and can share –three crucial possessions: their self-respect, hope, and inner strength.
