Жизненная сила

“Жизненная сила” — пронзительное высказывание о том, что заставляет нас жить дальше, бороться за себя и свои мечты и верить в добро.

На Дропси-авеню в захудалом районе Нью-Йорка жизнь идет своим чередом.

Яков Штарка — семьянин и плотник, потерявший всякий интерес к жизни и своим жене и детям, пытается найти хоть какую-то работу и смысл существования.

Элтон Шафтсбери — бывший владелец брокерского дома, чье состояние уничтожила Великая депрессия, пытается начать всё сначала, а еще устроить свою личную жизнь.

Мафиози, иммигранты, беженцы, соседские дети и бездомные… все пытаются выжить, невзирая на тяготы и лишения, которыми награждает их жизнь. Но главное — иметь ту саму жизненную силу, которая заставляет каждого из нас изо дня в день идти вперед и не сдаваться.

Действие “Жизненной силы” происходит во время Великой депрессии и рисует яркую и мрачную картину того, что приходилось делать разным людям — и бедным, и богатым — чтобы выжить в один из самых трудных периодов в истории Америки. В этом мощнейшем романе тонко переплетаются судьбы людей и реальные исторические события.

Фишки книги:

— Выразительные персонажи, глубина тонких сюжетных переплетений, в деталях проработанные городские ландшафты.

— Мощные черно-белые иллюстрации, которые полностью погружают в атмосферу Нью-Йорка 1930-х годов.

— Вырезки из газет, буднично освещающих события, которые сейчас уже история, а в 30-е годы — часть жизни обычных людей.

Для кого книга:

Для читателей от 18 лет.

Для всех, кто любит непростые жизненные истории.

Для поклонников творчества великого Уилла Айснера.
