Omschrijving
Emmy Award-winning writer Anne Opotowsky and stunning artist Angie Hoffmeister present the second volume in this massive saga of ambition, loyalty, and the walls we build inside and out; animating an irresistible historical setting with powerful modern resonance.
Book Two of Anne Opotowsky's epic Walled City Trilogy leaps simultaneously forward and back.
In 1905, a child is kidnapped and brought to Hong Kong, growing into a clever and reckless young man looking for answers. In the 1930s, the British are shaping that island into the free-trade playground for which it will soon become famous... while China's internal strife borders on chaos. The eccentricities of Hong Kong rub off on everyone, the greed is more palpable, the lust and caution ride herd on both the young and old.
Within the Walled City itself, the population has grown by leaps and bounds, despite attempts to clear them out. Both the British and the Chinese now declare it a lawless ghetto, a legal No Man's Land... so the city evolves into an astonishing world of its own. In this chaotic yet harmonious world, the three boys from Book One -- Song, Xi, and Yubo -- are finding three very different ways to become men.
Abductions, obsessions, refugees, and star-crossed lovers intertwine throughout this staggeringly ambitious and gorgeously illustrated saga... while the undercurrents of power, manipulation, and loss begin to show terrible cracks in the walls.
Anne Opotowsky, the creator of The Walled City Trilogy, is a screenwriter and graphic novelist. Her film credits include work for Miramax, Disney and Fox, among others. She lives and works in California.
Angie Hoffmeister lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. Since graduating from the famous Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2016, she has participated in several art shows in and around Europe. She currently teaches at Philipps-University of Marburg, working with both children and young adults. Illustrations, sketchbooks, picture books and graphic novels are her main mediums. She loves creating enormous dry point prints along with other printmaking techniques.
