Robert Crumb - Storia da minha vida

Title: Storia da minha vida
Author: Robert Crumb
Language: Portuguese
Adult content

    Minha Vida é uma autobiografia de Robert Crumb, um dos amiores artistas do século XX. Os primeiros desenhos publicados, a experiência psicodélica em San Francisco, a fase do “cartunista mais amado da América” e seu distanciamento do entretenimento de massa, em direção a um estilo mais sinistro e bizarro, mostram a evolução do traço e das idéias do autor. 

   Além dos desenhos e rascunhos raros, uma série de textos assinados pelo próprio cartunista conta detalhes exclusivos de um caminho construído de forma única, sem concessões ao mercado, sem moralismos, sem autoindulgência. Em Minha Vida, por sinal, há tudo menos autoindulgência, porque agora o humor sarcástico e implacável de Robert Crumb se volta contra seu maior personagem: ele próprio.

Robert Crumb - Kafka

Title: Kafka
Author: Robert Crumb
Language: Portuguese
Adult content

   Part illustrated biography, part comics adaptation, R. Crumb's Kafka is a vibrant biography that examines this Czech writer and his works in a way that a bland texbook never could! R. Crumb's Kafka goes far beyond being explication or popularization or survey. It's a work of art in its own right, a very rare example of what happens when one very idiosyncratic artist absorbs another into his worldview without obliterating the individuality of the absorbed one. 

   Crumb's art is filled with Kafka's insurmountable neuroses. 

They are all there: Gregor Samsa's sister, the luscious Milena Jesenska, the Advacate's "nurse" Leni, Olda and Frieda, and the ravishing Dora Diamant-drawn in that mixture of self-commandtantalizing knowingness, and sly sexuality, that amazonian randines and thick-limbed physicality that is Crumb.

Crumb's idiosyncratic illustrations add a new dimension to the already idiosyncratic world of Kafka. Includes adaptations of "The Judgment," "The Trial," "The Castle," "A Hunger Artist," and "The Metamorphosis."

Robert Crumb - Book of Genesis

Title: Book of Genesis
Author: Robert Crumb
Language: English
Adult content

Envisioning the first book of the bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Originally thinking that he would do a take off of Adam and Eve, Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible’s language, “a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions,” that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James bible.

   Now, readers of every persuasion—Crumb fans, comic book lovers, and believers—can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, tragic, and even juicy stories. Crumb’s Book of Genesis reintroduces us to the bountiful tree lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire that rained from the heavens, and the Egypt of the Pharaoh, where Joseph’s embalmed body is carried in a coffin, in a scene as elegiac as any in Genesis. 

   Using clues from the text and peeling away the theological and scholarly interpretation that have often obscured the Bible’s most dramatic stories, Crumb fleshes out a parade of Biblical originals: from the serpent in Eden, the humanoid reptile appearing like an alien out of a science fiction movie, to Jacob, a “kind’ve depressed guy who doesn’t strike you as physically courageous,” and his bother, Esau, “a rough and kick ass guy,” to Abraham’s wife Sarah, more fetching than most woman at 90, to God himself, “a standard Charlton Heston-like figure with long white hair and a flowing beard.”

   As Crumb writes in his introduction, “the stories of these people, the Hebrews, were something more than just stories. They were the foundation, the source, in writing of religious and political power, handed down by God himself.” Crumb’s Book of Genesis, the culmination of 5 years of painstaking work, is a tapestry of masterly detail and storytelling which celebrates the astonishing diversity of the one of our greatest artistic geniuses.

   Nominated for three 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards: Best Adaptation from Another Work, Best Graphic Album, Best Writer/Artist.

Milo Manara - Sonhar Talvez

Title: Sonhar Talvez
Author: Milo Manara
Language: Portuguese
Adult content

   O italiano Milo Manara não faz apenas desenhos, mas clássicos, com as mulheres mais perfeitas dos quadrinhos. "Sonhar talvez..." traz estórias pra lá de picantes, onde as mulheres do "papa" do quadrinho erótico italiano mexe, mesmo, com a libido dos leitores.

   Imaginemos um plano. Um plano infinito sobre o qual a realidade objetiva se manifesta. Imaginemos que um véu negro oculte este plano. Imaginemos também que nesse véu haja alguns buracos. O véu negro representa, para o homem comum, a impossibilidade de captar a realidade inteira. Os buracos são o meio através do qual o homem se põe em contato efetivo.

   Assim, um buraco representa os limites da percepção sensorial, a incapacidade de colher mais do que uma das infinitas manifestações possíveis. Para alcançar vários aspectos da realidade, deveríamos poder enxergar por vários buracos e, para isso, deveríamos nos afastar da superfície.

Mas há um perigo!
