And a fix for Jerusalem, had missed a page in the first release :( So replace your old copy with this one. And here is another great book by Guy Delisle, Jerusalem - Chronicles from the Holy City, another of his travelogue comics, this time about Jerusalem. Guy Delisle expertly lays the groundwork for a cultural road map of contemporary Jerusalem, utilizing the classic stranger in a strange land point of view that made his other books, Pyongyang, Shenzhen, and Burma Chronicles required reading for understanding what daily life is like in cities few are able to travel to. In Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Delisle explores the complexities of a city that represents so much to so many. He eloquently examines the impact of the conflict on the lives of people on both sides of the wall while drolly recounting the quotidian: checkpoints, traffic jams, and holidays. When observing the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim populations that call Jerusalem home, Delisles drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisles mastery of the travelogue. Of course, some people will see any book about the Israel/Palestine as bad, from both viewpoints, so please refrain from discussing politics in the comments, this is a comic, you can do that elsewhere. http://i.imgbox.com/zbxjZsJo.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/KCYFKEDZ.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/2APYHORw.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/H4Y97rCV.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/tOaq3UHH.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/AXn2ZHSR.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/7YMThzql.jpg http://i.imgbox.com/TO46FIxa.jpg
