Dwutomowy komiks „BOXERS & SAINTS” autorstwa amerykańskiego rysownika Gene Luen Yang – historia chińskiego powstania bokserów.
Nota wydawnicza:
„Boxers & Saints” is an innovative novel in two volumes—the parallel stories of two young people caught up on opposite sides of a violent rift. „American Born Chinese” author Gene Luen Yang brings his clear-eyed storytelling and trademark magical realism to the complexities of the Boxer Rebellion and lays bare the foundations of extremism, rebellion, and faith.
SAINTS: China, 1898. An unwanted and unwelcome fourth daughter, Four-Girl isn’t even given a proper name by her family when she’s born. She finally finds friendship — and a name, Vibiana — in the most unlikely of places: Christianity:
But China is a dangerous place for Christians. The Boxer Rebellion is in full swing, and bands of young men roam the countryside, murdering Westerners and Chinese Christians alike. Torn between her nation and her Christian friends, Vibiana will have to decide where her true loyalties lie… and whether she is willing to die for her faith.
BOXERS: China, 1898. Bands of foreign missionaries and soldiers roam the countryside, bullying and robbing Chinese peasants.
Little Bao has had enough. Harnessing the powers of ancient Chinese gods, he recruits an army of Boxers—commoners trained in kung fu—who fight to free China from „foreign devils.”
Against all odds, this grass-roots rebellion is violently successful. But nothing is simple. Little Bao is fighting for the glory of China, but at what cost? So many are dying, including thousands of „secondary devils”—Chinese citizens who have converted to Christianity.
