Natan Sharansky by Blake Hoena

Natan Sharansky by Blake Hoena

This graphic novel biography is the story of Soviet Jewry "refusenik" and human rights activist Anatoly "Natan" Sharansky. Born in 1948 to a Jewish family in Ukraine, at that time part of the Soviet Union, he was arrested as a young man and later imprisoned for wanting to leave the Soviet Union and go to Israel. His struggle became the struggle of all Soviet Jews who wished to leave. With the help of his wife, many Jewish activists, and world leaders, he eventually succeeded in immigrating to Israel, paving the way for the release of other Soviet Jews who wished to live in freedom.

Blake Hoena grew up writing stories about robots conquering the moon and trolls lumbering around in the woods behind his parents' house--the fact that the trolls were hunting for little boys had nothing to do with Blake's pesky brothers. He pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and since graduating, Blake has written more than sixty books for children. Blake has published ABC picture books, graphic novels about space aliens, and retellings of classic stories such as Greek Mythology's Adventure of Perseus, a choose your path book.
