Adbusters izeneko taldeak urteak daramatza mendebaldeko gizartearen adierazpen eta ikurrak bildu, aztertu eta kaleratzen. Oraingoan Design Anarchy izeneko liburu honekin, diseinua estetika soila ez dela aldarrikatzen dute beste behin ere. Diseinuak paper sozial eta politikoa betetzen duela frogatzen dute. Eta liburuaren azaletik hasita nabarmena da euren jarrera. Kanadarrak dira Adbusters taldeko kideak, baina ez dugu uste hauetaz trufa egiteko gai direnik South Park-eko biztanle bi-dimentsionalak. www.adbusters.org.
Internet bidez liburua erosi eta opari liburutxo bat. Internet omen da etorkizuna. Askotan entzun dugu. Etorkizunean ere bezeroak bereganatu eta zaindu behar direnik gutxiagotan entzuten dugu ordea. Susan aspaldian konturatu ziren horretaz eta honezkero bezeroei opari emateko liburuxka sorta ederra bildu dute. Egile ugariren sorkuntza bitxiak. Arrantzaleek badakite, batzuetan amua, arrantzatutakoak baino gehiago balio izaten duela. www.susa.com
You can buy a book on the Internet and give it as a gift. Internet is the future. We have heard this many times. However we don’t hear that often that in the future, we have to attract clients and take care of them. In Susa, they became aware of this long time ago and now, they have collected a bunch of book to give to their clients. The precious creation of many authors. Fishermen know that sometimes, the hook is more valuable than what they get. www.susa.com
Adbusters has been collecting, analyzing and publishing the signals of the west society throughout many years. Now, with the book entitled Design Anarchy, they proclaim, among other things, that design is not just aesthetics. They prove that design has a social and a politic role. And their attitude becomes obvious starting in the cover of the book. They are Canadians; but we don’t think the inhabitants of South Park can tease them. www.adbusters.org.
Derek Kirk Kim-ek, nerabezaroa atzean utzi eta heldutasunaren aurrean hartzen ditugun jarreren erradiografia egiten du bere pertsonaien bitartez. Bere jarrera existentziala bada ere, dramarik gabe azaltzen zaizkigu dituen zalantzak. Korean jaio eta bertan pasa zuen haurtzaroa egileak baina 8 urte zituela Kaliforniako iparraldera joan zen bizitzera. Istorio nagusiaren ostean istorio laburrak kaleratu dituzte bilduma berean. Eta eskertzekoa da, egilearen samurtasun, ironia eta umore unibertsoan sakonago murgiltzeko balio handikoak baitira. Korea eta AEBen artean bizi den komikilari honen lehendabiziko lanak Eisner eta Harvey sariak jaso ditu. www.astiberri.com
Nobela beltz klasikoa. Laburra eta zuzena. 1933an idatzia. Hain justu B mailako idazle belgiarrak Gallimard argitaratzaileekin kontratua sinatu zuen urte berean. Une hartatik aurrera, maila eskasagoa zuten nobelatxoak idazteari utzi eta bere idazkerak aurrerapauso nabarmena egin zuen. Edo hori dio bere biografiak behintzat... Aurreko lanik ez diogu irakurri, baina honetan, tarteka bada ere, pertsonaien arlo psikologikoa akzioaren maila berera iristen da. Beltza da istorioa, eguerdi eguzkitsuetan 1933. urteko portuetako uraren kolore berekoa.
A classic novel noir. Short and direct. Written in 1933. The same year that the Belgian Gallimard signed the contract with the publishers. From that moment on, he gave up writing lower level novels and his writing moved a step forward. Or this is what his biography says. We haven’t heard of his previous work, but in this, the psychological level of his characters get to the level of the action and this gives a new taste to the narration. The story is black; black as the water in the port of the sunny midday of 1933.
Derek Kirk Kim, makes an X-ray of the attitudes of his characters, who are not young anymore and are now entering adulthood. Even though his attitude is existential, he shows his doubts without any problem. He was born in Korea and there he spent his childhood but when he was 8, he moved to the north of California. After his main story, some other minor stories have been published in the same collection. And we thank them for this because his tenderness, irony and humor are useful to dive deeply into universe. The first works of this comic writer who lives between Korean and the US won the Eisner and Harvey prizes. www.astiberri.com
