Sonny Liew Livres

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From a bestselling graphic novelist comes “a hugely ambitious, stylistically acrobatic work” (The New York Times Book Review) that brings us on a uniquely moving, funny, and thought-provoking journey through the life of an artist and the history of a nation. Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s, Chan has been making comics in his native Singapore since 1954, when he was a boy of 16. As he looks back on his career over five decades, we see his stories unfold before us in a dazzling array of art styles and forms, their development mirroring the evolution in the political and social landscape of his homeland and of the comic book medium itself. With The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, Sonny Liew has drawn together a myriad of genres to create a thoroughly ingenious and engaging work, where the line between truth and construct may sometimes be blurred, but where the story told is always enthralling.

Raisons et sentiments sont joués par deux sœurs, Elinor et Marianne Dashwood. Elinor représente la raison, Marianne le sentiment. La raison a raison de l'imprudence du sentiment, que la trahison du beau et lâche Willoughby, dernier séducteur du XVIIIe siècle, rendra raisonnable à la fin. Mais que Marianne est belle quand elle tombe dans les collines, un jour de pluie et de vent.

The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye is a biography showcasing the life and work of Chan Hock Chye, a pioneering but largely forgotten comics artist in Singapore. With a career spanning more than five decades, from pre-independent Singapore through its three Prime Ministers, Chan’s work reflects the changing political and economic environment in Singapore. Containing Chan’s original illustrations, paintings and sketches, this is a groundbreaking work and labour of love aimed at recapturing the portrait of an artist, whose deep passion for comics and country is given a fitting tribute by award-winning comics artist Sonny Liew. 3 Eisner Awards 2017: Best U.S. Edition of International Material–Asia Best Writer/Artist Best Publication Design Other Eisner Award 2017 Nominations: Best Graphic Album–New Best Coloring Best Lettering Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize 2016 for English Fiction A New York Times bestseller An Economist Book of the Year 2016 An NPR Graphic Novel Pick for 2016 A Washington Post Best Graphic Novel of 2016 A New York Post Best Books of 2016 A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2016 A South China Morning Post Top 10 Asian books of 2016 An A.V.
