Democratie
Het jaar 490 voor Christus. Athene is in oorlog met de Perzische koning Darius I. Aan de vooravond van de slag bij Marathon vertelt de jonge soldaat Leander aan de hand van zijn eigen leven over de recente geschiedenis van Athene. Hoe langer hij spreekt, hoe meer soldaten het verhaal willen horen. Ze luisteren ademloos hoe Leander als zoon van een welvarende, politiek geëngageerde olijvenkweker betrokken raakt bij de val van de tirannen Hippias en Hipparchos, hoe hij als schatkamerbewaarder de geheimen van het orakel van Delphi ontrafelt en hoe de burgers van Athene na jaren van onderdrukking door koningen en tirannen eindelijk het heft in eigen handen nemen.

Democracy

release date: Sep 15, 2015
Democracy
From the team behind the international phenomenon Logicomix -which was on the New York Times bestseller list for ten weeks, won numerous international prizes, and to date has been sold into more than twenty-five languages-comes a new graphic novel, Democracy, written and illustrated by Alecos Papadatos and in collaboration with Abraham Kawa. Democracy opens in 490 B.C., when Athens is at war. The hero of the story, Leander, is trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow''s battle against a far mightier enemy. Leander begins to recount his own life, bearing direct witness to the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and to the birth of a new political system. The story that emerges, of the death of the gods and the tortuous birth of democracy, is crammed with extraordinary characters and tells in incident and vivid detail how this greatest of civic inventions came about. We see that democracy was born through a combination of chance and historical contingency-but also through the cunning, courage, and willful action of a group of highly talented and driven individuals.
