THE COLLECTED ESSEX COUNTY
Book ID/图书代码： 06556418C00002
English Summary/英文概要： Where does a young boy turn when his whole world suddenly disappears? What turns two brothers from an unstoppable team into a pair of bitterly estranged loners? How does the simple-hearted care of one middle-aged nurse reveal the scars of an entire community, and can anything heal the wounds caused by a century of deception? Award-winning cartoonist Jeff Lemire pays tribute to his roots with Essex County, an award-winning trilogy of graphic novels set in an imaginary version of his hometown, the eccentric farming community of Essex County, Ontario, Canada. In Essex County, Lemire crafts an intimate study of one community through the years, and a tender meditation on family, memory, grief, secrets, and reconciliation. With the lush, expressive inking of a young artist at the height of his powers, Lemire draws us in and sets us free.
This new edition collects the complete, critically-acclaimed trilogy (Tales from the Farm, Ghost Stories, and The Country Nurse) in one deluxe volume! Also included are over 40-pages of previously unpublished material, including two new stories.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他们都出生在埃郡，年代不同，性格各异，唯一的共同点是想远远地逃离这个地方。
男孩住在舅舅的农场里。他刚刚失去母亲，没有朋友，唯一的爱好是漫画。他总是戴着面罩披着斗篷，好像这样就能变成超人，就能离现实远一点。
冰球兄弟来到大城市打拼，原本以为赢下一场场比赛就能赢得世界，却在一夜之间输掉了人生。
一场大火烧毁了孤儿院，却无法毁灭修女的决心。她带着十四个孩子和一颗受伤的心，走进了永无止境的寒冬黑夜。
在埃郡，每个人都曾有过梦想，都为梦想拼搏努力，最终都回到故乡，在回忆中度过余生。新的生命，新的回忆，周而复始，在这块仿佛永远不知疲倦的土地上。

..".Essex County delivers a collection of characters so genuine that by the end you’ll swear they’re real." --Complex, ranking Essex County as one of "The 25 Comic Books You Need To Read Before You Die"
"It is a wonderful, thought-provoking, lovingly-produced work of fiction. I’m still not sure that this review does the book justice. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough." --Pajiba
"Lemire’s portraits of people are honest, and sad, and are full of broken dreams. All of these characters are living lives different than what they expected, and yet none of them really give up. And that is why a comic like this is so important - it is far more aspirational than a Batman story, even though no one in this book could do what Bruce Wayne does. But all of us can pick ourselves up, shake off the dust of disappointment, and try to live the best lives we can." --Multiversity Comics
