SUMMARY:Martin Rowson in Conversation with Ben McNally
DESCRIPTION:Join Ben at the Toronto Reference Library for a night of conversation as he interviews political cartoonist Martin Rowson about his graphic novel adaptation of the Communist Manifesto. \nThis event is a part of the TPL’s #OnCivilSociety series. \nThe interview will be followed by an audience Q & A with book sales and a signing closing the evening. \nWhen: \nThursday November 15 \n7 to 8pm \nWhere: \nBeeton Hall \nToronto Reference Library \n789 Yonge Street \nCost: \nFree \nHowever\, you must register to attend! \n\n \nPublished in 1848\, at a time of political upheaval in Europe\, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s Manifesto for the Communist Party was at once a powerful critique of capitalism and a radical call to arms. It remains the most incisive introduction to the ideas of Communism and the most lucid explanation of its aims. Much of what it proposed continues to be at the heart of political debate into the 21st century. It is no surprise\, perhaps\, that The Communist Manifesto (as it was later renamed) is the second bestselling book of all time\, surpassed only by the Bible. \nThe Guardian’s editorial cartoonist Martin Rowson employs his trademark draftsmanship and wit to this lively graphic novel adaptation. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Marx’s birth\, The Communist Manifesto is both a timely reminder of the politics of hope and a thought-provoking guide to the most influential work of political theory ever published. \n\nMartin Rowson is a political cartoonist and author. Best known for his work in The Guardian\, he has adapted Tristram Shandy and The Wasteland into graphic novel form. \n000000
