Download or read book Barefoot Gen: Without special title written by Keiji Nakazawa and published by Last Gasp. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reissue of this classic manga's first volume has impeccable timing. It recounts the bombing of Hiroshima from the perspective of a young boy, Gen, and his family. But the book's themes (the physical and psychological damage ordinary people suffer from war's realities) ring chillingly true today. Despite its harrowing nature, this work is invaluable for the lessons it offers in history, humanity and compassion. Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.
