Description

The 10-volume saga following a young boy in the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bomb attack continues. Volume eight opens in 1950. Gen is now in middle school, where he meets both a progressive-minded schoolteacher at odds with his conservative superiors and a brilliant but cynical classmate who challenges the teacher's values at every turn. Gen also finds himself confronting the corrosive effects of post-war Hiroshima society and the drugs and arms industry.

Author Biography:

Nakazawa was born in Hiroshima, and was six years old when the city was destroyed by an atomic bomb in 1945. All of his family members who had not been evacuated died in the bombing, except for his mother, and an infant sister who died several weeks after the bombing. Compelled to tell his story in the memory of his family, Keiji Nakazawa is best known for his epic tragic history Barefoot Gen.
