A Conspiração - A História Secreta dos Protocolos dos Sábios de Sião by Umberto Eco, Will Eisner
zeyer_ayngenem's review against another edition
5.0
Eisner’s last original work before his death in 2005. The absolute master (and arguable originator) of the graphic novel form, Eisner’s history of “The Protocols” is as informative & well-researched as it is gorgeously rendered.

"This patchwork of largely fictional works makes the Protocols an incoherent text that easily reveals its fabricated origins." -Introduction - Umberto Eco
" ... it is not the Protocols that produce antisemitism, it is people's profound need to single out an Enemy that leads them to believe in the Protocols." -Introduction - Umberto Eco
"Whenever one group of people is taught to hate another, a lie is created to inflame the hatred and justify a plot."
"Bah! It is inconceivable in our advanced world for an obvious fraud and forgery to survive!"
"The authenticity of the work does not seem to matter, But that is because the anti-Semite, in the great phrase of Jean Paul Sartre, "turns himself into stone." Bigotry becomes his way of explaining the world without having to justify the explanation through evidence or logic." - Afterword by Stephen Eric Bronner -

Um pequeno livro que é o testamento do grande desenhador Will Eisner.
Uma narrativa gráfica destinada a desmistificar de vez a fraude do livro "Protocolos dos Sábios de Sião" que ainda continua a ser utilizado como prova para a grande conspiração do controlo do Mundo.
O livro apresenta a forma como surgiu a ideia, como foi escrita e como apesar de tudo é o texto ideal para quem pretende subjugar os mais fracos com a ameaça do medo pelo "outro", usando o grupo ideal - os Judeus.
Numa época em que os extremismos se acentuam, um livro para nos alertar para o uso de alguns textos que nos tentam impigir a ideia do Medo. Tudo o que se passa no mundo é decidido por um comité de sábios financeiros e que querem dominar o planeta. Uma teoria onde cabe tudo. Tudo o que quisermos que os outros façam como alguns querem.
Não sendo um livro intenso, o desenho é de excelente qualidade e trata-se mais de um manifesto que uma história romanceada. Um bom livro para nos fazer refletir.

As heartbreaking as it is relevant, Will Eisner's final work is a powerful reminder of how convincing falsehoods can be when they confirm one's worldview – regardless of how often they are disproven.

Eindrucksvoller Einblick in die Geschichte des Antisemitismus. Viele Zusammenhänge sind mir jetzt erst wirklich klargeworden.

I don't know...I just felt like something didn't work with this.

A graphic history of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion sounds like an interesting idea, but the execution didn't work for me. I liked the fact that I was learning while reading a graphic novel, but this was just so didactic that I don't know if it really made sense as a graphic novel. I understand Eisner wanting to bring this story to a wider audience, but I just kept thinking that the amount of text would drive away someone not looking for the history.
In the end Eisner does a great job of summing up the history of a troublesome work, and I enjoy his pictures but I would only recommend it to history buffs and not a casual reader

I think I read this early in my adult-graphic-novel period. When I was tracking down all the greats. So duh, I read Eisner.
And I've since referred to this story when I discuss history with friends.
Good, awesome, duh, yes.
