Graphic Novel. After the death of her son, Regina Segal takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw, hoping to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. As they get to know modern Warsaw, Regina is forced to recall difficult things about her past, and Mica begins to wonder if maybe their reasons for coming are a little different than what her grandmother led her to believe. Modan offers up a world populated by prickly seniors, smart-alecky public servants, and stubborn women-a world whose realism is expressed alternately in the absurdity of people's behavior and in the complex consequences of their sacrifices. Modan's ever-present wit is articulated perfectly in her clear-line style, while a subtle, almost muted color palette complements the true-to-life nuances of her characterisation

Set in modern-day Tel Aviv, Exit Wounds is the first graphic novel to be published in Britain by one of Israel's best-known cartoonists.

In this book aimed at early readers, an acclaimed contemporary cartoonist rebooted the classic character Eddie Spaghetti (Uri Kaduri), beloved by generations of Hebrew-language readers. Eddie, accompanied by his big goofy dog, goes fishing in his goldfish bowl, saws the legs off a too-high table, and takes a bath with his clothes on! The bright colors, lively drawings, and sing-songy rhymes will delight young readers as they follow along Eddie’s lighthearted mischief. Originally created by Israeli artist Aryeh Navon and Lea Golberg in the 1930s, Rutu Modan offers her own playful take on this classic character for a new, international generation of young readers. These comics were specifically created for children age three and up. Full-color illustrations throughout.

AuszugAlles hat zwei Seiten. Ganz besonders Israel und Deutschland, und noch mehr gilt das für die beiden künstlerischen Zentren dieser Staaten: für Tel Aviv und Berlin. Einseitige Betrachtungen werden den vielseitigen Metropolen nicht gerecht, und das Schöne am Erzählen in Bildern ist, dass man solche Mentaphern wörtlich nehmen kann. 5 Israelis und drei Deutsche berichten über zwei Städte, das gibt bereits ein Oktett mit sechzehn Perspektiven. Aus Tel Aviv stammen dabei Rutu Modan, Yirmi Pinkus, Mira Friedmann, Itzik Rennert und Batia Kolton; Jan Feindt, Anke Feuchtenberger und Henning Wagenbreth dagegen kommen aus Berlin. Sie haben sich gegenseitig in Ihren Städten besucht und dann das in Bildern und Worten festgehalten, was sie voneinander gelernt haben. Und das ist einiges, denn der fremde Blick lenkt den eigenen über das längst Bekannte hinaus, und der vertraute Blick hilft dem ersten übers bloße Staunen hinweg.
