From Hell

Product Information

I would recommend this to a broad swathe of readers- from those who would appreciate a true work of art to those who are interested in the Jack the Ripper tale. From Hell is dense, multi-layered, and overflowing with an obsessive connect-the-dots tone that fancifully associates the events to everything from Aleister Crowley's childhood to Hitler's conception.

La versión de qué desencadena los asesinatos de Jack, quiénes están implicados y tienen intereses en estas muertes, qué pasa finalmente con Jack, el día a día y motivaciones de la gente de Withechapel. And yet it all took place a century and more ago: The Jack the Ripper story, in Moore's personal fictional view, highly influenced by his favorite theoretical Ripperologist, Stephen Knight, whose theory was largely dismissed and derided in the very process of Moore and Campbell's long construction of this remarkable tome. Early on, Gull's friend James Hinton discusses his son Howard's theory of the "fourth dimension", which proposes that time is a spatial dimension.

Finito l'interminabile quarto capitolo, con i suoi soporiferi sproloqui su massoneria ed architettura delle chiese londinesi costruite da Hawkmoor, un flash: la storia ingrana lasciandomi a bocca aperta più e più volte (ma le storie di Alan Moore mi fanno più o meno tutte questo effetto) e rivaluto completamente i disegni di Eddie Campbell, perfettamente integrati ed adatti al racconto: non più una semplice indagine sull'assassino più famoso negli annali della storia, la cui ferocia si può dire diede inizio concretamente al Ventesimo secolo, ma un'opera monumentale basata su una accurata (e maniacale) ricostruzione storica (alla quale hanno contribuito in minima parte anche Dave Gibbons e Neil Gaiman, compagni di "merende" di Moore ai tempi di Watchmen e Spawn).

I'm fine believing our actions have immediate consequences, that we all add our fluttering to the butterfly effect that is constantly shaping the universe.

Legendary comics creators Eddie Campbell and Alan Moore have created a gripping, hallucinatory piece of crime fiction about Jack the Ripper. Everything that we have done since then is merely a rehash of the pure variety and invention developed by those artists.

It is not simply the greatest graphic novel ever written (though it is that), it is also one of the greatest five stories I have ever read.el punto de inflexión lo tenemos en el capítulo cuatro, en el que se nos ofrece un recorrido por el Londres oculto y mitológico, con la arquitectura de la ciudad como protagonista indiscutible, después de eso, la trama comienza a avanzar con paso firme y todas las piezas van cayendo en su lugar.

Grazie ad un purtroppo ormai defunto gruppo di lettura su Goodreads e ad un colpo di fortuna (ho trovato il volume in offerta a meno di metà prezzo) mi sono finalmente deciso a fare il grande passo. Such a lengthy and unbroken piece of naked exposition detracted from the notion that this was a story at all. While From Hell reveals Jack the Ripper's actual identity and motive within the first twenty or thirty pages, Watchmen keeps its secrets close to the chest. Queen Victoria becomes aware of the marriage and has Albert separated forcibly from his wife, whom she places in an asylum.I am the original author of this essay, as well as the owner of CCLaP; it is not being reprinted here illegally. Impulsado por una meticulosa investigación que abarca un amplio espectro de estudios y mitos del Destripador junto una capacidad para evocar sentimientos en personajes monstruosos Moore ha creado quizás la mejor examinación del cruel legado del Destripador. I'm not suggesting that you are prudish about such things, but it may be that others around you are. d. Everyone else should be open to close to any other explanation because of the sheer fact that one can´t and doesn´t know.
