Vonnegut, Kurt
Slaughterhouse-five, or, The children's crusade a duty-dance with death Slaughterhouse-five Children's crusade Kurt Vonnegut - Dial Press trade pbk. ed. - New York Dial Press 2005. - 275 p. 21 cm.
"A fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod (and smoking too much), who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, "The Florence of the Elbe," a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale. This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from. Peace."
"The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five ... An American classic and one of the world's seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!). Listen: Billy Pilgrim has... read Kilgore Trout... opened a successful optometry business... built a loving family... witnessed the firebombing of Dresden... traveled to the planet Tralfamadore... met Kurt Vonnegut... come unstuck in time. Billy Pilgrim's journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the front lines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human."-- Provided by publisher
