Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Honestly, some of the artwork is just weird. And creepy. Especially the eyes in the first several pages. Makes the characters look demonic or high. ( ) I feel like this should be required reading for high school history. Or maybe civics. In particular, the afterward conveys a really great perspective on the nature of historical truth. This is violent, but I'm tempted to read it to my 6-year old anyway, as I think it would spark her thinking about the voting she sees us do in a different (better framed) light. BD sympa et agréable à lire, mais il faut se veiller à ne pas croire qu'on va avoir une approche identique à celle de Logicomix (ce fut mon erreur au début de la lecture et j'ai eu un peu de peine à y entrer). Une fois bien entré dans les personnages, ils deviennent attachant et les histoires de la démocratie athéniennes se livrent petit à petit à nous. Je trouve agréable de ne pas avoir une approche unique, mais des approches multiples non seulement pour que chacun puisse se faire son opinion, mais également pour que le lecteur approche quelque chose des dilemmes de l'historien ou de celui qui cherche, simplement... I guess I arrived at this comic with the wrong expectations: It is a not a Logicomix of politics. This is more fictional and less ambitious in scope, focusing on a definitely relevant moment in history: the birth of democracy in Athens. The intention is good, but the driving story of Leander doesn't interleave well with the big narrative. At the end is not very clear what was everything about.

Premis
Democracy opens in 490 B.C., with Athens at war. The hero of the story, Leander, is trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy, and begins to recount his own life, having borne direct witness to the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and to the emergence of a new political system. The tale that emerges is one of daring, danger, and big ideas, of the death of the gods and the tortuous birth of democracy. We see that democracy originated through a combination of chance and historical contingency--but also through the cunning, courage, and willful action of a group of remarkably talented and driven individuals. --Amazon.
