Inhaltsangabe

Harrowing and graphic re-telling of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster from the creator of George Orwell's 1984 graphic novel.

This graphic and harrowing account of nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl in April 1986 follows the dozens of human stories cruelly affected by disaster.

From the engineers and firefighters to doctors and soldiers, the children and families in the surrounding towns and villages to the animals in the forests - they all make up the story of Chernobyl, a mosaic of victims who paid the price for distant politicians’ ambitions and arrogance.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

George Orwell was one of England's most famous writers and social commentators. Among his works are the classic political satire Animal Farm and the dystopian nightmare vision Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell was also a prolific essayist, and it is for these works that he was perhaps best known during his lifetime. They include Why I Write and Politics and the English Language. His writing is at once insightful, poignant and entertaining, and continues to be read widely all over the world.

Matyáš Namai studied graphic design at the Škola Michael in Prague. He has contributed to the magazines ABC (The Master of Shaolin, The Millennium Thief ) and Playboy (Ironic Applause). His comics and graphic novels aim to sensitively reveal the psychology of their characters, using a filmic sense of dramatic editing and a feel for detail. Matyáš’ favorite hobby is roasting bacon over a fire.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Atoms for Peace program was adopted in Russia to help the Soviet Union overtake the West's nuclear power superiority. Instead, it resulted in the creation of a radioactive cloud that terrified the entire world.

What led to the catastrophe at Chernobyl in April 1986 is a complex question: strict authoritarian policies, impossible deadlines, a lack of money and materials, pervasive bureaucracy and political corruption all played their part in the largest nuclear catastrophe in history.
