    • An NPR Best Book of the YearA Washington Post Best Book of the YearA Chicago Tribune Fall "Best Read"An Alma most anticipated book of NovemberFrom the prize-winning author of The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt , a stunning graphic narrative of newly discovered stories from Jewish teens on the cusp of WWII.When I Grow Up is New Yorker cartoonist Ken Krimstein’s new graphic nonfiction book, based on six of hundreds of newly discovered, never-before-published autobiographies of Eastern European Jewish teens on the brink of WWII―found in 2017 hidden in a Lithuanian church cellar.These autobiographies, long thought destroyed by the Nazis, were written as entries for three competitions held in Eastern Europe in the 1930s, just before the horror of the Holocaust forever altered the lives of the young people who wrote them.In When I Grow Up , Krimstein shows us the stories of these six young men and women in riveting, almost cinematic narratives, full of humor, yearning, ambition, and all the angst of the teenage years. It’s as if half a dozen new Anne Frank stories have suddenly come to light, framed by the dramatic story of the documents’ rediscovery.Beautifully illustrated, heart-wrenching, and bursting with life, When I Grow Up reveals how the tragedy that is about to befall these young people could easily happen again, to any of us, if we don’t learn to listen to the voices from the past.

      Provides an illustrated biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the most prominent philosophers of the twentieth century, a hero of political thought, and a complex, controversial, deeply flawed, and courageous woman. Her intelligence and "virulent truth telling" led her to insights into the human condition, and her experience continues to shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times. --Adapted from publisher description

      The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt
    • Roku 1933 uprchla Hannah Arendtová z nacistického Německa nejprve do Paříže, později do USA. Zde se stala jedním z nejvýznamnějších myslitelů své doby. Její pohnuté osudy ztvárnil kreslíř Ken Krimstein v oceňovaném komiksovém životopisu. V souladu s tezí Hanny Arendtové, podle níž myslet a žít spadá pro člověka vjedno, představuje Krimstein v pronikavých zkratkách hlavní motivy její filosofie, neopomíjí však ani filosofii Martina Heideggera nebo Waltera Benjamina. Ken Krimstein (* 1958) kreslí pro New Yorker, Punch, Wall Street Journal i jinde. Psal pro The New York Observer, New Yorker’s Diary a publikoval na online serverech, např. na McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Yankee Pot Roast nebo Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood. Je autorem knihy o židovských karikaturistech Kvetch as Kvetch Can: Jewish Cartoons a učí na DePaul University a School of the Art Institute v Chicagu. Žije v Evanstonu ve státě Illinois. Tři životy Hanny Arendtové získaly cenu Bernard J. Brommel Award for Biography and Memoir a umístil se v užším výběru ceny National Jewish Book Awards. Časopisy Forbes a Comics Journal jej zařadily mezi nejlepší komiksy roku 2018.
