Description: Weltliteratur im Gewand einer Graphic Novel 1969 veröffentlichte Kurt Vonnegut mit SCHLACHTHOF 5 ODER DER KINDERKREUZZUG ein literarisches Monument der Antikriegsromane, in dem er seine eigenen Erlebnisse als amerikanischer Kriegsgefangener schildert. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg überlebte er – gefangen in dem Keller eines Schlachthauses – die schrecklichen Luftangriffe auf Dresden. SCHLACHTHOF 5 ist zugleich ein possenhafter Blick auf Horror und Tragödie des Krieges, in dem Kinder an die Front und in den Tod geschickt werden, sowie eine bewegende Untersuchung dessen, was es bedeutet, ein fehlbarer Mensch zu sein: Billy Pilgrim hat Kilgore Trout gelesen und hat ein erfolgreiches Geschäft rundum die Augenoptik eröffnet. Billy Pilgrim hat eine liebevolle Familie gegründet und die Bombardierung Dresdens miterlebt. Billy Pilgrim ist auf den Planeten Tralfamadore gereist und hat Kurt Vonnegut getroffen. Billy Pilgrim ist von aller Zeit losgelöst. Ausgehend von Kurt Vonneguts bewegender Antikriegsgeschichte SCHLACHTHOF 5 übersetzen der mit dem Eisner Award ausgezeichnete Autor Ryan North (THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL) und der für den Eisner Award nominierte Zeichner Albert Monteys (UNIVERSE!) einen literarischen Klassiker in die Sprache der Comics.

Description: Endlich in neuer Übersetzung: Schlachthof 5 oder Der Kinderkreuzzug, einer der wichtigsten Antikriegsromane der Weltliteratur und Meisterwerk der amerikanischen Postmoderne. - Billy Pilgrim hat als US-Soldat die Ardennenoffensive überlebt und als Kriegsgefangener das Bombeninferno von Dresden. Zurück in seiner Heimat fällt er aus der Zeit, er bewegt sich zwischen den verschiedenen Episoden seiner Biographie: der Hochzeitsnacht und dem Kriegsgefangenenlager, einer Nervenheilanstalt und einem ehemaligen Schlachthof in Dresden, das der Bombenhagel in eine Mondlandschaft verwandelt, einer behäbigen Existenz als Optiker und einem Zoogehege auf dem Planeten Tralfamadore, wo Billy Pilgrim als Spezies Mensch ausgestellt wird. - Was macht der Krieg mit einem Menschen? Was machen die Bilder und Erinnerungen?, fragt dieser autobiographisch gefärbte Roman, der ein Kaleidoskop des Irrsinns und des Absurden entwirft und weniger die Zerstörung einer Stadt beschreibt als die eines Menschen.

Description: The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great anti-war books. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!). Listen: Billy Pilgrim has... ...read Kilgore Trout ...opened a successful optometry business ...built a loving family ...witnessed the firebombing of Dresden ...traveled to the planet Tralfamadore ...met Kurt Vonnegut ...come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim’s journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human.

Description: As a young man and a prisoner of war, Kurt Vonnegut witnessed the 1945 Allied fire-bombing of Dresden in Germany, which reduced the once proudly beautiful city to rubble and claimed the lives of thousands of its citizens. For many years, Vonnegut tried to write about Dresden by the words would not come. When he did write about it, he combined his trademark humour, unfettered imagination, boundless humanity and keen sense of irony to create one of the most powerful anti-war books ever written. Fifty years on from first publication, Slaughterhouse Five remains unique in its wild storytelling, its powerful delivery of unavoidable truths, and its alchemy of love and tragedy. -- from jacket.
