Dj fine; unclipped 19.95, protected in new clear sleeve. Will Eisner was a great master of American comics and the form he pioneered: the graphic novel. Eisner's last completed novel, The Plot is regarded as his most important - and final - work. In The Plot, Eisner presents a graphic novel account of the fabrication and confabulation of history. Richly, dramatically, and entertainingly illustrated. While 'its' provenance is questioned and criticized, there is no doubt that the structural annihilation of humanity is indeed proceeding from a similar agenda. Who's culpable is apparently grey among those on this plane. A graphically entertaining story by Will Eisner, the originator of the graphic novel. Or, the 'comic' book more fully supplemented w/more mature and richer content. Includes an introduction by the mysterioso, Umberto Eco. Humored, veiled exposure. It's 'all' here in this cheap book. Reverse osmosis works wonders. Soon-to-be scarce in this undenatured condition complete w/wrapper. Includes the introduction by Eco, a preface, afterword, reference section, complete bibliography, and comprehensive index for ease of reference.

Riassunto

Presented in graphic-novel format, an examination of the 1905 plot fabricated by anti-Semitic secret police that was used to accuse Jewish leaders of wanting to take over the world discusses the contributions of such individuals as Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolph Hitler, tracing how Protocols became an internationally accepted truth and tragically succeeded far beyond propagandistic ambitions. 50,000 first printing.

Product Description

In a work more disturbing than fiction, "the father of graphic novels" (The New York Times) Will Eisner 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 Ku Klux Klan members to Islamic fundamentalists. With an introduction by Umberto Eco, The Plot unravels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century and its 2005 publication marks the centenary of the first publication of the Protocols. 500 signed and slip-cased copies of limited editions are also available.
