{"product_id":"9788024637280","title":"We're Still at War: Stories of the 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Communist regimes of Europe collapsed more than a quarter century ago, and the Third Reich fell in World War II. However, today’s rising global tide of far-right extremism makes totalitarian regimes seem not a memory, but a possibility. In such a time, fear seems to trump hope. For any of us facing a world we no longer seem to recognize, the graphic novel \u003ci\u003eWe’re Still at War \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful reminder not just of where these sweeping forces can lead, but also of the human forces that can combat them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in partnership with Post Bellum, a nonprofit organization devoted to documenting and sharing eyewitness accounts of the key events of twentieth-century Czech history, this book tells the stories of real people and their struggles under totalitarianism in Czechoslovakia. Bringing together thirteen of the top Czech and Slovak artists with thirteen victims and survivors of Nazi and Communist totalitarian regimes, \u003ci\u003eWe’re Still at War\u003c\/i\u003e uses comics to open our recent, troubled past to a contemporary world. The narratives are as diverse and surprising as humanity itself, depicting victories and defeats, acts of weakness and heroism. The connecting thread, however, is clear: while the threat is real, it is more important than ever to remember the power of even the smallest moments of altruism and human kindness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubjected to the destructive power of totalitarianism, the heroes of these stories sacrificed everything to help others. For younger generations who have no memory of European totalitarianism and for those who witnessed it on either side of the Iron Curtain, for twentieth-century history buffs, and for comic book fans, especially admirers of Art Spiegelman’s \u003ci\u003eMaus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWe’re Still at War \u003c\/i\u003eis a beautiful and enthralling testament to human endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karolinum Press, Charles University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062927573232,"sku":"9788024637280","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788024637280_p0.jpg?v=1763721998","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788024637280","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
