Todavia estoy vivo / I’m Still Alive

Roberto Saviano

LA HISTORIA DE UN SUPERVIVIENTE QUE SE NIEGA A RENDIRSE LA PRIMERA NOVELA GRAFICA DE ROBERTO SAVIANO

UNO DE LOS LIBROS MAS ESPERADOS DE 2022 SEGUN EL MUNDO, LA VANGUARDIA Y ESQUIRE

No es cierto que de la batalla o vuelves vivo o no vuelves; en caso de que vuelvas, volveras herido. Lo que estais a punto de leer es mi herida. -Roberto Saviano

En 2006 le dijeron que durante unas semanas iba a vivir bajo custodia, pero aquel dia la vida de Roberto Saviano cambio para siempre. Esta es la historia de un superviviente que se niega a rendirse.

Aqui se cuenta una resistencia llevada a cabo con la palabra como unica artilleria y dentro del perimetro del propio cuerpo, partiendo de la base de que con cualquier lucha se aprende una unica regla. Es esta: no es cierto que de la batalla o vuelves vivo o no vuelves; en caso de que vuelvas, volveras herido. Lo que estais a punto de leer es mi herida.

Todavia estoy vivo es un libro unico, una colaboracion insolita entre dos grandisimos narradores. Se trata del relato intimo y descarnado de los ultimos quince anos en la vida de Roberto Saviano, en los que se ha visto obligado a vivir en la clandestinidad, por estar amenazado de muerte por la Camorra. Sus palabras dialogan con el trazo agil y simbolico de Asaf Hanuka; recuerdan los dias de una libertad perdida, la del nino apasionado de las historietas y que disfrutaba jugando con su hermano, hasta transformarse en un presente claustrofobico, el precio a pagar por haber alzado la voz y que lo obliga a la vivir siempre pegado a sus escoltas. Es la vida de un hombre herido, pero que sigue luchando.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE STORY OF A SURVIVOR REFUSING TO SURRENDER.
ROBERTO SAVIANO’S FIRST GRAPHIC NOVEL.

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022, ACCORDING TO EL MUNDO AND ESQUIRE.

It isn’t true that you either come back alive from battle or you don’t come back at all. In the event you come back, you’ll be hurt. What you are about to read is my wound.

-Roberto Saviano

In 2006, he was told he would have to be under guard for a few weeks. But that day, Roberto Saviano’s life was forever changed. This is the story of a survivor that refuses to surrender.

Here is the story of a resistance undertaken with words as sole firepower and within the perimeter of one’s own body, on the basis that in any fight you learn but one single rule. It is this: it isn’t true that you either come back alive from battle or you don’t come back at all. In the event you come back, you’ll be hurt. What you are about to read is my wound.

I’m Still Alive is a unique book, an unprecedented collaboration between two magnificent storytellers. It is an intimate and brutal account of the last fifteen years in the life of Roberto Saviano, who has been forced to live clandestinely after receiving a death threat by the Camorra. His words converse with the flowing and symbolic strokes of Asaf Hanuka’s art, they remind us of those days of long-lost freedom, of a boy, passionate about comics, who enjoyed playing with his brother, now transformed into a claustrophobic, the price he must pay for speaking out, forced to live constantly surrounded by bodyguards. It is the life of a wounded man who keeps on fighting.
