On my television screen, and on my mobile device, are pictures of the distrusction of Hurricane Irma. The areas that are hit look as though a bomb was set off. Flattened houses, desolation everywhere. And then I look down, as I read this graphic novel about the ware in Syria, and parts around there, against ISIS. Burned out buildings, destruction. It seems as though the whole world is in trouble.

This is an amazing story about a young Italian cartoonist who wanted to see what was going on Kokanee. Have you heard of Kokane? I have not, but apparently it is a town in Syria where the people managed to liberate themselves, with a fighting force of men and women who were working for a more decommocatic world. A world where men and women could learn together and work together, and fight together as well.

The author gets to go there, and meet these men and women, who are decicating their lives to having a homeland. Zerocalcare introduces us to people we, in the West, have never heard of. Things are not as simple as they seem. An amazing journey, highly recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Brillante, a la altura o superior a "La profecía del armadillo" y ya era complicado porque me pareció un cómic imprescindible.
