商品の説明
内容説明
Alsace is a region in the east of modern-day France which changed hands four times between France and Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. When Jean-Jacques Waltz ('Hansi') was born in 1873, it was two years since the Prussian army had marched into Alsace, and the province remained under German annexation until the end of the First World War. Hansi remembered his years at the German school in Colmar as among the worst of his life. Above all, he hated the history lessons in which the teacher forced the French pupils to learn about Prussian conquests and the defeat and humiliation of Alsace. Nothing was ever said about the glorious and happy past when Alsace was a free land, joined to the ancient region of Gaul with its Celtic races. In 1912, Hansi decided to write his own History of Alsace for children. He wanted to show them how much pride they could have in their past, and to hear the story from their own side. The first edition was published in Paris and was a great success, though as a result of its satirical gibes at all things German, Hansi was given a heavy fine and warning from the German authorities in Colmar. Soon afterwards he was given a year's prison sentence for 'insulting the German officer corps'. The present book is a hand-picked selection from Hansi's L'Histoire d'Alsace and his L'Alsace Heureuse written in 1919 to celebrate the province's return to freedom. It is full of Hansi's trademark colourful and detailed pictures of Alsatian life, as well as his critical but humorous portrayal of the occupying Germans. The text is suitable for children from about eight years old, but will equally be appreciated by adults.
著者について
Hansi (1873-1951) was born Jean-Jacques Waltz in Colmar, in the French region of Alsace. A pro-French activist in a German-occupied area following the Franco-Prussian War, he worked as an artist and produced satirical drawings which mocked the German authorities. He started publishing under the pseudonym 'Oncle Hansi' or just 'Hansi'. He was imprisoned several times, including in Leipzig in 1914, from where he escaped back to France and joined the military during the First World War. In 1941 he was nearly assassinated by the Gestapo, but fled to Switzerland. He never recovered from his injuries and died in Colmar in 1951. He is a hero in Alsace, where his books and drawings are widely reproduced.

Legacy of the Franco Prussian War
2011/10/29
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
At the conclusion of the Franco Prussian War (1870-71), the German speaking region of Alsace was transferred from France to the new German nation. To the great surprise of the Germans, the Alsatians had no interest in joining the new German state. The Alsatians remained fiercley patriotic Frenchmen. They resisted integration and "My Alsace" is a wonderful example of that struggle.
In 1912, the writer Jean Jacques Waltz (Oncle Hansi) decided to write his own history of Alsace for the children of the region. It was an act of political resistance and Waltz suffered State reprisals for his efforts. When the Great War started a few years later, Waltz fled to France and joined the French Army. When the Germans retook Alsace in 1940, Waltz escaped assasination by the Nazis and eventually fled to Switzerland.
At its heart, "My Alsace" is a political text and an act of resistence. Having said that, it is also a beautifully illustrated children's book. The turn of the Twentieth Century was one of the great ages of children's illustration. Waltz was a master illustrator and his work clearly influenced later artist/illustrator like Herge and other artists in the clear line or "ligne claire" style. "My Alsace" is a great book and will enjoyed by both children and adults alike. Highly recommended.
