Goya: The Terrible Sublime: A Graphic Novel
by El TorresCelebrated artist Francisco de Goya confronts demons real and imagined in this vivid portrayal of the end of his life. Francisco de Goya is considered one of the most important Spanish painters of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, last of the Greats and first of the modernists. But his sumptuous images stemmed from a mind in torment, especially later in his life. <P><P> Goya: The Terrible Sublime is a graphic novel inspired by Goya’s life, in particular focusing on his final years, as he struggles with assorted physical ailments that threaten to take his mind, as well. Recovering from a serious illness in Cadiz, Spain, which has left him deaf, Goya suffers from terrible headaches, high fevers, and hallucinations, beset by visions of death that will become all too real with the advent of the Spanish War of Independence. Still, the monsters in his delusions are not real—but his friend Asensio Julia is, and he belongs to another world. <P><P> From the mind of the terror master El Torres and the art of Fran Galán comes a terrifying story that brings readers into the artist’s world of madness and dark paintings, a historical miasma populated by recognizable figures like Manuel Godoy and the Duchess of Alba and swathed in an aesthetic of cobweb-shrouded palaces and beautiful grotesques living in the shadows. This unique graphic novel tells a horror story, melding the artist’s unique style and vision with the story of a man plagued by unreality. Yet even as the artist faces dreadful images of witchcraft and pure evil, he knows that he must not fall into what lurks beyond the dream of reason. <P><P> <i>Advisory: Bookshare has learned that this book offers only partial accessibility.

Vivendo em uma remota cidade do interior, ela se isolou da sociedade. Seu amigo de longa data, Adam Boggs, a deixou ainda mais devastada quando partiu para a faculdade e cessou a comunicação. Ao voltar à cidade para uma visita, eles tentam se reconciliar. A manhã seguinte trás o fim da vida que conhecem. Fugindo para segurança, seus caminhos se cruzam com os de outros sobreviventes. Não demora muito para perceberem que os mortos não são a única coisa a se temer. Enquanto o mundo é dominado pelos mortos, Zoe e Boggs se aproximam em um romance tórrido, que nenhum dos dois experava. As coisas se complicam mais quando Zoe se descobre amaldiçoada por um elo mental com os mortos. Suas vidas basicamente se resumem a sobreviver, superar as dificuldades e amar um ao outro. Livro um da Série Graça. Indicado para maiores de dezoito anos.
