书籍简介

概要

“图文并茂，文学叙事精妙绝伦，本身就是一件精美的艺术品。”——《科克斯书评》（星级推荐）

约翰·瓦斯奎兹·梅希亚斯的《波多黎各战争》以精美的木刻版画呈现，并辅以丰富的历史资料，讲述了1950年波多黎各起义的故事。这场起义导致38人丧生，并引发了一起针对哈里·S·杜鲁门总统的未遂刺杀事件。本书以寓言的形式，讲述了运动领袖们与迈克尔·柯林斯和甘地的亡灵相遇的故事，展现了美国历史上一个重要却常被忽视的时期，以及波多黎各独立运动的一个历史转折点。

Summary

“A brilliant blend of graphic and literary narration and a lovely work of art in itself.” - Kirkus, STARRED Review

Rendered in gorgeously carved wood blocks and buffeted with historical supplemental material, John Vasquez Mejias’s The Puerto Rican War tells the story of the 1950 insurrection on the island that resulted in 38 deaths and a failed assassination attempt against President Harry S. Truman. Told as a fable, in which the leaders of the movement are visited by the ghosts of Michael Collins and Gandhi, this book showcases an important and often overlooked moment in American history and a historical touchstone for the Puerto Rican independence movement.
