Many are Called by Walker Evans
The palace is astir, preparing for the long-awaited wedding of its beloved Prince, who leaves the safety of the kingdom borders to fetch his bride, now missing in exile for 7 years. But the Prince is not the only one searching for the lost princess. Lord Richter, and his army of Raiders, scour the countryside for her, turning the noblemen of the land against their King in the process. With old and new enemies before him, and disorder among his own ranks behind him, the Prince must overcome all obstacles to find his betrothed before Richter does, and bring her safely back home. Though whether the bride wants to return to the very place she fled from is an entirely different story. A past will be revealed, a score will be settled, and a future will be formed, all before the night is over... This graphic novel, written by Gabrielle Gniewek and illustrated by Sean Lam, weaves several Gospel parables into an adventure story set in a steampunk world.
"Finally, today we have a re-issue of Many Are CalledIt is truly a labor of love. This book is true to the look, feel, and spirit of the original. It does have a different cover, but includes a photograph of the original cover for reference. Two new texts have been added to the book. Luc Sante, the excellent writer and interpreter of photography, writes the foreword, while Jeffrey Rosenheim, the steward of this project, writes a historical sketch as an afterword. The pictures are reproduced in the same sequence as the original, and the reproductions, varnished duotones, rival the quality of the silver gelatin originals. Each plate is keyed to its date and Metropolitan Museum of Art accession number. The reproductions and the book itself are slightly enlarged in comparison with the first edition. Many Are Called has been issued only in hardcover. It is one of the more important books of the 20th century."--photo-eye
"Yale University Press's reissue of the book, along with its original poetic introduction by James Agee, represents the first proper introduction of Evans's subway work to a broad audience and a full reintegraton of the photos into the arc of his career. It is hard to imagine a better way to celebrate the subway's centennial or to reconsider Evans, one of the 20th century's most influential photographers and artists."--Randy Kennedy, New York Times Book Review
