Paracuellos is a work of great courage, created at a time when telling the truth about Spain's political past could get one killed. It is arguably the most important graphic memoir ever created in comics. With a preface by Will Eisner.

Carlos Gimnez's autobiographical account of the plight of children in post-World War II Fascist Spain has won virtually every comics award in Europe, including Best Album at the 1981 Angoulme Festival, and the Heritage Award at Angoulme in 2010.

In the late 1930s when Spanish fascists led by Franco, and aided by Hitler and Mussolini, overthrew the elected government, almost 200,000 men and women fell in battle, were executed, or died in prison. Their orphaned childrenand others ripped from the homes of the defeatedwere shuttled from Church-run home to home and fed a steady diet of torture and disinformation by a totalitarian state bent on making them productive citizens.

Carlos Gimnez was one of those children. In 1975, after Franco's death, Carlos began to tell his story. Breaking the code of silence proved to be a milestone, both for the comics medium and for a country coming to terms with its past.

An illustrated essay by Carmen Moreno-Nuo, Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Kentucky, places the comics in historical perspective.

The stories transcend just being about a historical moment in Spain. Their humanity will speak to everyone. The stories are heartbreakers, but Carlos never loses his sense of humor.William Stout

Perfect for privacy!

This 3 panel room divider came in in good shape. I am pleased with how it looks. It feels a little cheap, but I was aware of that from the reviews I read. I really like the dual hinges, which is one main reason I went with this one. I also got this one for the 3 panels and the black color. I plan to use it to give the guest rooms a little privacy for when they get up to go to the restroom. I took a few pictures when I was playing around with it and attached those.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel, Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel
Although other reviews found this item was too lightweight and flimsy, frankly it was exactly what I was looking for. I needed to partition my workspace off from the rest of the room and I wanted something that I could easily attach to the back of an unfinished bookcase as part of creating a private space. It was perfect. Lightweight easy to handle and I didn't mind putting some nails through it. Great price point for what I needed.
