Jerusalem: The Story of a City and a Family

Jerusalem: The Story of a City and a Family

<p>A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER</p><p><i>Jerusalem</i> is a sweeping, epic graphic novel that follows a single familyۥthree generations and fifteen very different peopleۥas they are swept up in chaos, war, and nation-making from 1940-1948. Faith, family, and politics are the heady mix that fuel this ambitious, cinematic graphic novel. </p><p>With <i>Jerusalem,</i> author-filmmaker Boaz Yakin turns his finely-honed storytelling skills to a topic near to his heart: Yakin's family lived in Palestine during this period and was caught up in the turmoil of war just as his characters are. This is a personal work, but it is not a book with a political ax to grind. Rather, this comic seeks to tell the stories of a huge cast of memorable characters as they wrestle with a time when nothing was clear and no path was smooth.</p>
