Democracy by Alecos Papadatos

Available Stock:

Category: Graphic Novel

Democracy opens in Athens in 490 BC, on the moonless eve of the great Battle of Marathon. The hero of the story, Leander, is trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy. Leander begins to recount his own life story and personal struggles, bearing direct witness to t he evils of the old tyrannical regimes and to the birth of a new political system. The story that emerges, of the death of the gods and the tortuous birth of democracy, is crammed with extraordinary characters, including the mysterious Cleisthenes, widely considered the 'father' of democracy, Athena, the patron goddess of Athens and Nefert, the old Egyptian slave woman. Through moving and pacey storytelling, we see that democracy was born through a combination of chance and historical contingency - but also through the cunning, courage and wilful action of a group of highly talented and driven individuals. A vivid depiction of turbulent personal and political transition and an epic tale of change and discovery, this important graphic novel is one to watch. ...Show more

Bad Girls: Sirens, Jezebels, Murderesses, Thieves and Other Female Villains by Jane Yolen

$22.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Biographies

From Jezebel to Catherine the Great, from Cleopatra to Mae West, from Mata Hari to Bonnie Parker, strong women have been a problem for historians, storytellers, and readers. Strong females smack of the unfeminine. They have been called wicked, wanton, and willful. Sometimes that is a just designation, b ut just as often it is not. "Well-behaved women seldom make history," is the frequently quoted statement by historian and feminist Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. But what makes these misbehaving women "bad"? Are we idolizing the wicked or salvaging the strong? In BAD GIRLS, readers meet twenty-six of history s most notorious women, each with a rotten reputation. But authors Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple remind us that there are two sides to every story. Was Delilah a harlot or hero? Was Catherine the Great a great ruler, or just plain ruthless? At the end of each chapter, Yolen and Stemple appear as themselves in comic panels as they debate each girl s badness Heidi as the prosecution, Jane for context. This unique and sassy examination of famed, female historical figures will engage readers with its unusual presentation of the subject matter. Heidi and Jane s strong arguments for the innocence and guilt of each bad girl promotes the practice of critical thinking as well as the idea that history is subjective. Rebecca Guay s detailed illustrations provide a rich, stylized portrait of each woman, while the inclusion of comic panels will resonate with fans of graphic novels." ...Show more
