Stein (stone) is a comic that pays tribute to freedom fighters in three historical moments and in three different countries: the Soviet era, Argentina under the dictatorship, and exile in Spain.
Foreword by Sergi Pàmies
What drives a lawyer, father of three children, to abandon conventional life and try to transform society from its foundations? Is the sacrifice worth it? The author of Stein seeks answers to his own experience as the son of a social fighter. Through Andrea, the story's protagonist and his father's companion in struggle, Agustín Comotto embarks on a tortuous journey to Argentina in the late 1960s in search of answers. But the journey is never what is expected. Like a Russian doll, Stein tells the story of an attempt to learn about one's own history through that of Andrea, a young activist, who, in turn, does not understand her struggle without that of an old Jew, Stein, who lived through his own revolution years before in Bolshevik Russia. This interweaving of stories offers a profound exploration of the human motivations of those who sought to change the world, and the consequences of giving up everything for a cause.
