Commentary During Books Arrugas

Emilio, un antiguo ejecutivo bancario, es internado en una residencia de ancianos por su familia tras sufrir una nueva crisis de Alzheimer. Allí, aprende a convivir con sus nuevos compañeros –cada uno con un cuadro “clínico” y un carácter bien distintos– y los cuidadores que les atienden. Emilio se adentra en una rutina diaria de cadencia morosa con horarios prefijados –la toma de los medicamentos, la siesta, las comidas, la gimnasia, la vuelta a la cama…– y en su pulso con la enfermedad para intentar mantener la memoria y evitar ser trasladado a la última planta, la de los impedidos, cuenta con la ayuda de Ernesto, su compañero de habitación…

Paco Roca aborda en Arrugas temas delicados, hasta ahora escasamente tratados en historieta, como son el Alzheimer y la demencia senil. Y lo hace de un modo intimista y sensible, con algunos apuntes de humor pero sin caer en ningún momento en la caricatura. El aire de verosimilitud que se respira en el relato se ha visto propiciado por un cuidadoso trabajo de documentación. Paco Roca comenzó a recopilar anécdotas de los padres y familiares ancianos de sus amigos y visitó residencias de ancianos para saber cómo era la vida en ellas, un material de primera mano que le ha servido para estructurar una consistente ficción. La edición francesa de Arrugas de la mano de la editorial Delcourt ha sido todo un éxito de ventas y crítica que se ha reeditado a los pocos meses de su publicación.

Judge Based On Books Arrugas

This was so beautifully emotional and well done. The ending made me tear up. Truly a magnificent piece of artwork. Absolutely stunning.

I've picked this comic up in Lisbon's Fnac store in search of a way to improve my Portuguese. I was intrigued by the story from the first moment, and I read it all in one sitting.The comic book is a good medium to show the different realities in which the various characters if the book are living. I asked this question: is my reality more real than one of a deluded / sick person? If I become deluded or lose the ability to form short term memory, would I ever notice?

This was a fantastic emotional read. Having put a grandmother in assistant care this brought up all the emotions all over again. We all have to deal with aging family members and the stress,love, guilt,pain. I don't want to spoil, I'll paste the description below.... Fantastic ( if you been through this, get ready to be choked up) Paco Roca Two elderly residents of an assisted living facility employ clever tricks to mask their ongoing deterioration, culminating in a riotous nighttime breakout.

One of my parents lost their brilliance very young from inherited dementia, that, instead of coming on slowly as was the way with her mother, was brought on precipitously after being violently attacked by a stranger. Her mother lived considerably longer, and had much less intelligence to lose. My other parent lived beyond 90 with the majority of intracranial grey matter firmly in place; sardonic wit and ability to pun there almost to the very end.Now that chapters of my historical novel have

Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.Jonathan SwiftOld age should burn and rave at close of day, a poet told us, and as long as one isnt in that stage of life yet, one could tend to agree vigorously with him. Assuming that living a life in human dignity requires a certain degree of freedom, autonomy and individuality, people sometimes postulate that if they would find themselves debilitating and in a situation deprived of the essentialities of what makes us human and which

Beautifully illustrated and touching story about life in an aged-care home. The main character grapples with the onset of Alzheimers, while his roommate runs scams to raise enough cash to escape. It's not a long story, but it touches on so many issues of aging in such a heartfelt but somehow light-hearted manner. I read it in a single sitting and it left me with an air of melancholy for the rest of the day.

You'd think that a book chronicling an old man's abandonment by his son at an old age home and subsequent decent into dementia would be the single most depressing thing you read all year.Instead Paco Roca, the straight up brilliant author and illustrator for this astoundingly beautiful graphic novel turns a forgotten man grappling with a horrifying disease into something very like a fairy tale. Emilio, a former bank manager, is taken to an old age home by his bitter son when his rapidly
