Prophet Against Slavery by David Lester Pdf

The revolutionary life of an 18th-century dwarf activist who was among the first to fight against slavery and animal cruelty. Prophet Against Slavery is an action-packed chronicle of the remarkable and radical Benjamin Lay, based on the award-winning biography by Marcus Rediker that sparked the Quaker community to re-embrace Lay after 280 years of disownment. Graphic novelist David Lester brings the full scope of Lay’s activism and ideas to life. Born in 1682 to a humble Quaker family in Essex, England, Lay was a forceful and prescient visionary. Understanding the fundamental evil that slavery represented, he would unflinchingly use guerrilla theatre tactics and direct action to shame slave owners and traders in his community. The prejudice that Lay suffered as a dwarf and a hunchback, as well as his devout faith, informed his passion for human and animal liberation. Exhibiting stamina, fortitude, and integrity in the face of the cruelties practiced against what he called his “fellow creatures,” he was often a lonely voice that spoke truth to power. Lester’s beautiful imagery and storytelling, accompanied by afterwords from Rediker and Paul Buhle, capture the radicalism, the humor, and the humanity of this truly modern figure. A testament to the impact each of us can make, Prophet Against Slavery brings Lay’s prophetic vision to a new generation of young activists who today echo his call of 300 years ago: “No justice, no peace!”

The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr. Pdf

Best Book of the Year NPR • The Washington Post • Boston Globe • TIME • USA Today • Entertainment Weekly • Real Simple • Parade • Buzzfeed • Electric Literature • LitHub • BookRiot • PopSugar • Goop • Library Journal • BookBub • KCRW • Finalist for the National Book Award • One of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year • One of the New York Times Best Historical Fiction of the Year • Instant New York Times Bestseller A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence. Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but is also shot through with hope, beauty, and truth, portraying the enormous, heroic power of love.

An intense, hallucinatory story with overtones of Dostoevsky's 'Legend of the Grand Inquisitor' and artwork of breathtaking intensity, it is the crowning achievement of a brilliant career, a true graphic novel that engages ultimate themes of life, death and salvation.

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet Graphic Novel - Part 1 by Peter Hertzberg,Kahlil Gibran Pdf

After twelve years in exile a ship has finally arrived that can take Almustafa home. As he's about to board, a group of villagers ask him to share more of his wisdom as a last goodbye. In twenty eight poetic speeches he answers their quandaries. Of these speeches, the three opening ones (on love, marriage and children) are included in this first part of a graphic novel adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's evergreen poetic essays on life and on living. To read Gibran's text, rhythmic and vibrant with emotions, feels like listening to music rather than just consuming a series of words. A composition now arranged by Peter Hertzberg, with his illustrations as the instruments playing the music to which Gibran's thoughts dance in to our souls. "The Prophet" was published in 1923 as an immediate success, but the story has its humble origins in Gibran's own experiences of living as an immigrant in New York where he dedicated his life to writing and painting until he passed away at 1931. A modern classic, and probably the twentieth century's most beloved spiritual fiction, "The Prophet" offers inspiration to everyone feeling unbalanced in a world out of balance. Peter Hertzberg is an illustrator and storyteller born in Finland and has since also lived in Sweden and Spain. He speaks four languages but only communicates well in images. ​ He self-publishes his comics and picture books at via his publishing company at OMOiOMO and writes about himself in third-person.

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran Pdf

A graphic novel of Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece The Prophet. “It was while reading The Prophet with a pencil in hand and a drawing pad on my knees that I finally met him …” Kahlil Gibran is the third bestselling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi. His masterpiece, The Prophet, is one of the most beloved classics ever to be published. It sold over 9 million copies in the US alone and was translated into over 100 languages. Now his 1923 inspirational book is brought to life as a richly illustrated graphic novel. The night before embarking on a long journey which will take him back to his homeland, the young Almustafa, “the chosen and loved,” responds to questions from residents of the city of Orphalese. Among them, he particularly addresses the Prophetess Almitra, who is keen to learn his teachings and wisdom on the big questions of human life: love, friendship, talent, self-awareness, time, good and evil, reason and passion, beauty and pleasure, suffering—everything including death. In this philosophical and spiritual narrative, reproduced here in its full text, Zeina Abirached creates a graphic novel full of light and shadows, exploring the most lyrical images to the most conceptual passages. A tour-de-force that Abirached brings to life with her characteristic style, this volume will attract and inspire readers of all ages as it pays a beautiful tribute to its author and celebrates 100 hundred years of The Prophet, whose beauty and power continues to inspire and surprise us.
