Hansen's Children (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It is the end of the 1980s, and Europe is about to change forever.

Hansen's Children is set in a leprosarium, and Spahic cleverly uses leprosy as a metaphor for the corruption and decay at the heart of Ceasescu's Romania. As much about the fall of Communism as it is about the continuing disparity between West and East, Hansen's Children simply cannot fail to move you.
