Kate Evans

"A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life--her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art."--

a graphic biography of Rosa Luxemburg

Red Rosa

A heartbreaking, full-color graphic novel of the refugee drama In the French port town of Calais, the historic home of the lace industry, a city within a city has arisen. This new town, known as the Jungle, is the home of thousands of refugees, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, all hoping, somehow, to get to the UK. Into this squalid shantytown of shipping containers and tents, full of rats and trash and devoid of toilets and safety, the artist Kate Evans brought a sketchbook and an open mind. Combining the techniques of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling, Evans has produced this unforgettable book, filled with poignant images by turns shocking, angering, wry, and heartbreaking. Weaving into the story hostile comments about the migrants from nativist politicians and Internet trolls, Threads addresses one of the most pressing issues of modern times making a compelling case, through intimate evidence, for compassionate treatment of refugees and the free movement of peoples. Evans s creativity and passion as an artist, activist, and mother shine through."

Na cidade portuária francesa de Calais, surgiu uma cidade dentro de uma cidade. Conhecida como “Selva”, essa esquálida favela de contêineres e barracas foi lar de milhares de refugiados, principalmente do Oriente Médio e da África, todos esperando, de alguma forma, chegar ao Reino Unido.Rodeadas por ratos e lixo, e privadas de qualquer saneamento básico ou segurança, essas pessoas são o retrato de uma crise humanitária refletida em diversos cantos do mundo. E é com maestria que a quadrinista Kate Evans lança uma luz sobre essa história na premiada história em quadrinhos REFUGIADOS: A ÚLTIMA FRONTEIRA, lançamento da DarkSide® Graphic Novel.Combinando as técnicas de reportagem de testemunhas oculares com a arte sequencial, Kate Evans criou uma obra cheia de imagens pungentes, chocantes, irônicas e comoventes. Voluntária no campo de refugiados de Calais, a quadrinista viu de perto o horror e sofrimento de milhares de pessoas que precisaram abandonar tudo aquilo que conheciam para buscar um novo lar e dignidade.Tal experiência conferiu à graphic novel um caráter intrinsecamente jornalístico que examina a crise de refugiados através de múltiplos ângulos: moral, político e econômico, no melhor estilo do gênero consagrado por Joe Sacco. O local acabou sendo evacuado, mas REFUGIADOS: A ÚLTIMA FRONTEIRA retrata esse momento da história de forma atemporal.Ao mesmo tempo, ela também entremeia na narrativa suas próprias convicções sobre a crise de refugiados. Kate Evans apresenta um trabalho pessoal, uma verdadeira janela para o leitor conhecer suas experiências ao testemunhar uma história tão dolorosa. E, com seu traço poderoso em estilo, concede emoção aos personagens, retratos dos habitantes reais do campo, e suas histórias.Os leitores que se emocionaram com o relato de Myriam Rawick, a jovem menina que compartilhou seus dias na Guerra da Síria em O Diário de Myriam, certamente encontrarão uma experiência verdadeira e delicada no relato de Kate Evans em REFUGIADOS: A ÚLTIMA FRONTEIRA. Um vislumbre nas vidas de pessoas em situação tão urgente que merecem empatia, acolhimento, direitos e compreensão.Todos deveríamos poder ir e vir, descobrir e redescobrir, visitar, mudar, trocar de lugar seguindo o vento e o tempo do coração. Cabe a nós buscar informação e fazer parte da grande mudança. REFUGIADOS: A ÚLTIMA FRONTEIRA é um alerta para um dos debates mais importantes e prementes da sociedade em que vivemos, no momento em que observamos o maior deslocamento involuntário de pessoas desde o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, com mais 68,5 milhões de refugiados ao redor do planeta. Um lembrete para construirmos mais pontes, e menos muros.

Refugiados: A Última Fronteira

Who hasn't dreamed of chucking it all to live a traveling life? Yet two months after Kate and her husband Dave leave home to live on the road, she awakes in the grips of a seizure. The diagnosis of a brain tumor comes at a terrible time: It is their first-year wedding anniversary, and they have no home. Soon, though, this medical adventure becomes integral to their journey. Paralleling this story are Kate's painful and often humorous exploits of body, mind, and spirit--including frank explorations of her life as a sexual iconoclast, caregiver to dying parents, and inspired but overwhelmed teacher who longs to write. Kate Evans' brave and honest memoir explores how transformation is our nature. Call It Wonder reveals how the mind is an alchemist. Through our thoughts, we can transform insecurity to freedom, uncertainty to wonder."Kate Evans writes with honesty, intelligence, and an open heart about what it means to surrender to life. Her story is as engaging as it is inspiring, and it takes the reader on a winding journey into the soul." -- Bill Kenower, author of Write Within Yourself: An Author's Companion"Pay attention! Listen carefully to the messages coming your way--be they internal orexternal, physical or metaphysical. That is the heartfelt directive of Kate Evans' memoir.With satisfying candor and alluring fluency, Evans examines her life, revealing that wisdomcan be found everywhere: on a run, inebriated or infatuated; in an airplane, classroomor seizure; from a jockey, dying parent, or friends who turn up all over." --Patricia Harrelson,author of Between Two Women: Conversations About Love & Relationship

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art.

Always opposed to World War I, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed.

In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

How to Make, Grow and Birth a Baby

Donna Morris has chosen to do her probationary year as detective constable in the small seaside town of Scarborough. But on her first day, a body is found in the woods: the corpse of Henrik Grünttor presents itself as that of a homeless man, dead from his own drug use. However, until recently, Grünttor had been working at the local GCHQ centre on the Russian section and the postmortem reveals the cause of his death to be uncertain. Now in her early fifties, Donna has her own reasons for wanting to be in Scarborough, ones she would prefer to keep from her colleagues. For she's not been drawn there by the landscape or the light, or even the beach, but to be closer to her wayward daughter - a daughter serving time in the nearby prison for GBH. Yet beyond even this, Donna hides another secret: she grew up in East Berlin, escaping across the wall in the early 1980s. Due to the circumstances of her past Donna is drawn to the dead man whose background is not dissimilar to hers... and her persistence reveals there are several people who wanted Grünttor dead -- and gathered around him in his final days like a wake of crows...
