This patient, bleak, text-heavy work pulses like a dying heartbeat.-- \"Booklist\" Brief Description : Translation of: Moi Renâe Tardi prisonnier de guerre au Stalag IIB. Review Quotes : This intensely personal work is one of Tardi's best and most accessible ? uncompromising in its portrayal of war yet relatable as a story of a son trying to understand his father.-- \"Publishers Weekly\" Publisher Marketing : The second volume of Stalag IIB begins when captured French soldier Rene Tardi finally gets a taste of freedom, as prisoners and German officers alike are forced to evacuate the POW camp he has languished in for the past four years. Thus begins the long, grueling journey eastward, where Tardi and his fellow POWs must evade the pursuing Russian Army, stave off their gnawing hunger, and contend with the increasingly vicious German soldiers accompanying them. Throughout this harrowing odyssey, the only thing that keeps him going is the hope that he'll one day return home to France, where his wife Henriette patiently awaits him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019-03-19\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46476524847235,"sku":"9781683961796","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781683961796.jpg?v=1770278737","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9781683961796","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
