SUPER BOYS: JERRY SIEGEL, JOE SHUSTER AND THE CREATION OF SUPERMAN
Book ID/图书代码： 08900012B53657
English Summary/英文概要： Super Boys will be the first biography of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two poor kids whose outsider status led them to create the mythic figure that, in some ways, defined the 20th century. This book will explore the creation of Superman through several pathways of history, art and culture, and will radically upset all previous attempts at understanding these two men. What emerges in Super Boys is not just a single sentence that acknowledges Superman’s creators with a slight, perfunctory tip of the hat, but a full narrative of often-heartbreaking loss and sometimes-unbelievable artistic success—and lots and lots of hard work.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 童年时的杰瑞·席格和乔·舒斯特生活在社会的边缘，然而正是这段经历促使他们创作出了超人这一神秘的人物形象，从某种意义上说，这一传奇人物代表了20世纪，因此《超级伙伴》将会是第一部记录杰瑞·席格和乔·舒斯特生平的传记。书中将从历史、艺术、及文化等多个角度去探寻超人这一形象的创作和诞生史，并将激烈地推翻所有先前人们对于两名创始人的看法与理解。《超级伙伴》中所表现出的不仅仅是单纯意义上敷衍了事的敬佩之情，相反地，它全面而平实的陈述了创作过程中难以避免的心酸的失落感以及时而令人难以置信的艺术成就感---然而更多的是难以计数的辛勤付出。(DC)
