Parable of the Talents: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by Octavia E. Butler

3.5

 
While I have not read “The parable of the sower,” this The parable of the talent” can be understood without difficulty. The drawings are appropriate for a story of strenuous struggle against practically everything and everyone and the many sacrifices to which our protagonist is forced. It is neither an easy nor a light plot, but the graphic novel probably makes it more accessible even if its proximity to current reality makes it frightening.

Pur non avendo letto "The parable of the sower", questo The parable of the talent" si capisce senza problemi. I disegni sono adeguati ad una storia di strenua lotta contro praticamente tutto e tutti ed alle molteplici rinunce a cui la nostro protagonista é obbligata. Non é una trama né facile né leggera, ma probabilmente la graphic novel la rende piú accessibile anche se la sua vicinanza con la realtá attuale la fa diventare spaventosa.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
