Reseña del libro "Jerusalem (en Inglés)"

THE LONG-AWAITED MAGNUM OPUS FROM LEGENDARY AUTHOR ALAN MOORE

Fierce in its imagining and stupefying in its scope, Jerusalem is the tale of everything, told from a vanished gutter.

In the epic novel Jerusalem, Alan Moore channels both the ecstatic visions of William Blake and the theoretical physics of Albert Einstein through the hardscrabble streets and alleys of his hometown of Northampton, UK. In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was Englands Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap housing projects. Embedded in the grubby amber of the districts narrative among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a different kind of human time is happening, a soiled simultaneity that does not differentiate between the petrol-colored puddles and the fractured dreams of those who navigate them.

Employing, a kaleidoscope of literary forms and styles that ranges from brutal social realism to extravagant childrens fantasy, from the modern stage drama to the extremes of science fiction, Jerusalems dizzyingly rich cast of characters includes the living, the dead, the celestial, and the infernal in an intricately woven tapestry that presents a vision of an absolute and timeless human reality in all of its exquisite, comical, and heartbreaking splendor.

In these pages lurk demons from the second-century Book of Tobit and angels with golden blood who reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Vagrants, prostitutes, and ghosts rub shoulders with Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Beckett, James Joyces tragic daughter Lucia, and Buffalo Bill, among many others. There is a conversation in the thunderstruck dome of St. Pauls Cathedral, childbirth on the cobblestones of Lambeth Walk, an estranged couple sitting all night on the cold steps of a Gothic church front, and an infant choking on a cough drop for eleven chapters. An art exhibition is in preparation, and above the world a naked old man and a beautiful dead baby race along the Attics of the Breath toward the heat death of the universe.

An opulent mythology for those without a pot to piss in, through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth, poverty, and our threadbare millennium. They discuss English as a visionary language from John Bunyan to James Joyce, hold forth on the illusion of mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon the meanest slum as Blakes eternal holy city.

Alan Moore (18 de noviembre de 1953, Northampton) es quizás el escritor más aclamado en el medio de la historia gráfica. En 1979 comienza a publicar sus trabajos en la revista musical Sounds, bajo el seudónimo de Curt Vile. Moore, de espíritu inconformista, decide dar el salto al mundo de los guiones y en 1980 crea Ro-Jaws Robo Tales y Abelard Snazz, además de contribuir en la serie de Marvel Comics Uk Dr. Who Weeklu.

Con este bagaje, crea obras como WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING y MIRACLEMAN que le valdrían numerosos galardones. También es el cerebro detrás de la línea America's Best Comics, a través de la cual ha producido (junto con muchos ilustradores talentosos) LA LIGA DE CABALLEROS EXTRAORDINARIOS, PROMETHEA, TOM STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES y TOP TEN. Como uno de los innovadores más importantes del medio desde principios de la década de 1980, Moore ha influido en toda una generación de creadores de cómics, y su trabajo continúa inspirando a una audiencia cada vez mayor.
