"Modan delights in bringing the subtlest emotional shadings to vivid and often comical life on the page...[The Property is a] wryly funny and ultimately wrenching graphic novel." -NPR

The award-winning author of Exit Wounds returns with a story about secrets, money, and the bonds of love

The Property is a work that will inspire, fascinate, and delight readers and critics alike. Savvy and insightful, elegant and subtle, Rutu Modan's second full-length graphic novel is a triumph of storytelling and fine lines.

After the death of her son, Regina Segal takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw, hoping to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. As they get to know modern Warsaw, Regina is forced to recall difficult things about her past, and Mica begins to wonder if maybe their reasons for coming aren't a little different than what her grandmother led her to believe.

Modan offers up a world populated by prickly seniors, smart-alecky public servants, and stubborn women-a world whose realism is expressed alternately in the absurdity of people's behavior and in the complex consequences of their sacrifices. Modan's ever-present wit is articulated perfectly in her clear-line style, while a subtle, almost muted color palette complements the true-to-life nuances of her characterization. Exit Wounds made a huge splash for this signature combination of wit, style, and realism, and The Property will cement Modan's status as one of the foremost cartoonists working today.

读后感

如果是拍成电影，《遗产》一定是非常有趣的喜剧，而书中的幽默感，也正是这本图画小说如此吸引人的重要原因。 正是这种游走在每个人物刻画之中以及人物关系之间的幽默感，使这个故事鲜活起来，使每个人物有血有肉。读完之后，画面中那两位经历过战争与屠杀威胁的老人、一个把自...  

关于二战时犹太人悲惨遭遇的电影和书籍看过一些，那段黑暗惨绝人寰，拿起《遗产》这本漫画书时，让我不禁又想起了那段历史。《遗产》可以说是二战的后遗症。用“后遗症”这个词，是因为读了这本书，会让人忍不住又去翻看二战那段历史，还有犹太这个民族的发展历史，我甚至想起...  

用户评价

难得一口气读完一本书

好可爱~

电影式分镜，神态动作细节以及色彩，情节设计和行进，各方各面臻于极致的一部作品。不太同意它的主题是以小见大的刻画战争的大伤痛，我觉得是种族主义成见，具体体现在犹太人与波兰人之间的刻板印象和中间隔着的战争这条深渊，要不干嘛把波兰老青两代男人刻画得如此绅士，话说画漫画的出现在漫画里果然不会是坏人啊。

英文版的，我居然啃完了。人物性格塑造好立体。

The first graphic novel I read, taking 2.5h. And the book is definitely worth the time!
