Es la guerra. Se ven dos trincheras en medio de la nada y en ellas dos soldados. Dos bandos que se vigilan mutuamente y el tiempo que pasa interminable. Sensación de abandono. Miedo al otro. El enemigo es cruel, el enemigo no tiene piedad, la guerra es culpa de él... Lo dice el Manual del Ejército. Y si un día se descubriera que el manual del enemigo dice lo mismo? Un libro sobre la irracionalidad de la guerra y contra la lógica de la disciplina militar. Con un texto sobrio e inteligente y unas ilustraciones basadas en trazos sencillos y limpios, que juegan con el propio formato del papel y sus posibilidades, los autores recrean un escenario de guerra intemporal y universal. En él se refleja de forma fidedigna la soledad de dos soldados enfrentados en una guerra que no comprenden y obligados a deshumanizar a su contrincante para poder matarlo y asegurar la propia supervivencia.

One morning, when George walks into his kitchen, he finds someone sitting at his table. "Who are you?" he asks. "I'm your shadow," answers the shadow. The shadow follows George-for a walk on the street, fishing on the pier at Coney Island, and everywhere else George goes. Who is this shadow? Is he an annoying pest? Is he a friend? Or is he both? From the award-winning pair behind I Can't Wait and The Enemy comes a sweet, silly, and often poignant look at how unexpected friendship can be. With mod, quirky art full of personality from Serge Bloch (Butterflies in My Stomach and The Big Adventure of a Little Line) and a disarming text from Davide Cali (I Didn't Do My Homework Because ...), George and His Shadow is charming! Perfect for fans of Leo: A Ghost Story and Imaginary Fred.
