Evita: The Life And Work Of Eva Peron

En savoir plus sur le livre

Eva Perón is the most important woman in Argentine history. Her figure and work today, fifty years after her death, grow larger in contrast to the mediocrity of the political class that leads the country at the beginning of this century. Venerated by a legion of followers who consider her "a saint" and denounced by her detractors to the point of calling her "that mare," Evita became, even before her premature death, an icon of Argentine culture and politics in the 20th century. Her figure has inspired all kinds of works: short stories, poetry, essays, and novels feature her as the protagonist. Additionally, various plays—both underground productions and Broadway musicals—and even some forgettable films have been created about her. What was missing, then, was the comic strip. With the recovery of the original script written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld, along with the drawings by Alberto Breccia from 1970, we have here a work about the life and work of Eva Perón that aims to settle that debt. The best woman, the best writer, and the best illustrator in Argentina. That's no small feat.
