Barfuß durch Hiroshima

Keiji Nakazawa's landmark autobiographical work, Barfuß durch Hiroshima (the German edition of Barefoot Gen), was published by Rowohlt beginning in 1982. This single-issue volume distills Nakazawa's harrowing firsthand experience of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, told through the eyes of a young boy. As both writer and artist, Nakazawa created a searing, humanistic testament that remains a vital document of war's cost and the resilience of the human spirit.
