Bøger af George Butler

Over the course of a year after the Russian invasion, award-winning artist George Butler drew portraits of Ukrainians as he interviewed them about the extraordinary turmoil the war had caused in their lives. From civilians in occupied cities to soldiers on the front line, this is a unique collection that vividly captures personal testimonies of community, tragedy, and perseverance.

While reporting on the war in Ukraine, George Butler has created striking and intimate illustrations to introduce us to the people behind the headlines. His drawings, made in a variety of places, from missile-scarred streets to nursing homes, vividly capture stories of family, tragedy and perseverance. These powerful portraits of war and conflict are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need for peace. A stunning, illuminating and sensitive look at stories that deserve to be told.

Eliza Menardi stumbles out of an alleyway behind a diner in Santa Monica, collapses and dies in the arms of her childhood friend, Tiffany Beals - beaten to death by an unknown assailant. When the police fail to obtain any leads as to why Eliza died and who killed her, Tiffany consults the help of next-door neighbor Dr. Donovan Gentling, an eccentric, amnesiac inventor who serves as the story's narrator and has his sights set on a beautiful reporter covering the tragedy. With a pair of roller skates, a disguise, and Dr. Gentling's amazing gadgets, she unearths a scandal involving her school's faculty and student body and some of Santa Monica's well-to-do citizens. The world had better make way for the advent of Roller Girl!

"Resisting his own urge to walk away, award-winning artist George Butler took his sketchbook and made, over the course of a decade, a series of remarkable pen-and-ink and watercolor portraits in war zones, refugee camps, and on the move. While he worked, his subjects--migrants and refugees in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia--shared their stories. Theirs are the human stories behind the headlines that tell of fleeing poverty, disaster, and war, and of venturing into the unknown in search of jobs, education, and security. Whether sketching by the hospital bed of a ten-year-old Syrian boy who survived an airstrike, drawing the doll of a little Palestinian girl with big questions, or talking with a Masai herdsman forced to abandon his rural Kenyan home for the Kibera slums, George Butler turns reflective art and sensitive reportage into an eloquent cry for understanding and empathy."--
