"This Book Is A Home Run In Any Language." - The Manchester Guardian "Employing Thick Lines, Minimal Detail And Simple Prose Storytelling, Sturm Gracefully Summons The Seedy, Often Dangerous Baseball World Of The 1920s...This Would Make A Fine Gift For Any Fan Of The Game." - Washington Post Book World
Reseña del editor
James Sturm pens this richly evocative graphic novel set in the 1920s. The Stars of David, a barnstorming Jewish baseball team, travel from town to town earning a living by playing local squads. They all sport beards, a gimmick to attract patrons but when financial difficulties threaten to end their season they cast their lot with a Chicago promoter who has just seen the hugely successful German silent film Der Golem...With the golem, a baseball game is transformed into a mythical pageant. Fear and curiosity fills the stadium, but it also stokes the flames of anti-Semitism. Winning the game for the Stars of David becomes less important then surviving it. With a sepia-tinted cinematic style, this compelling book reminds us that making it home is at the heart of baseball.
