Fagin - The Jew. The World of Oliver Twist's Adventures

The author tells the story of the hero's unhappy childhood spent on the outskirts of London and the beginning of his criminal path, while decisively opposing the anti-Semitism of Victorian literature. The artist's brush creates an expressive portrait of the... era. The godfather of comics as a sequential art form, Eisner combined a lively interest in classical literature with the issues of racial prejudice, resulting in a touching, complex story of a person who became a victim of societal prejudices and a life of poverty.

«Fagin - The Jew» is not only a modern classic of the graphic novel but also a worthy neighbor to Charles Dickens on the bookshelf. The anniversary edition released for the tenth anniversary of the book is issued in hardcover and is supplied with a preface by Brian Michael Bendis and an extensive afterword by literary scholar and journalist Jita Hira.
