Hussain: Never To Humiliation (Nor recommended for children under 14)
Get ready for an epic journey through one of history’s most influential and enduring stories. With this graphic novel, you’ll witness the story of the Master of the Martyrs like never before. The sacrifice of Imam Hussain and his family on the sands of Karbala is a tale of oppression and injustice, good versus evil, and the triumph of the revolutionary spirit.
Figs & Olives Publications, in cooperation with Mohammad Hamza, Presents “Hussain: Never to Humiliation.” This book is a visually stunning addition to the rich tradition of Ashura literature and a vision that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, to stand up to its reputation as a story of the ages.”
This book will profoundly impact readers as it revisits the tragedy that gathers millions to the same site each year. It is not just a phrase given to this book; it embodies it.
Echoed by every Imam in every epoch following the Muharram massacre is the eternal slogan, “Every day is Ashoura. Every land is Karbala.”
Hussain lives on the front lines of the struggle against evil, no matter what mask it wears. The lovers of justice will always find strength in their cry: “Labaika ya Hussain.”
I purchased this book from a local Hussainia, but unfortunately, it's a deeply disappointing book. The narration lacks captivation, The computer-generated images seem to be used as a lazy filler, rather than being carefully crafted to enhance the story. The images are explicit, disrespectful, and graphic, leaving nothing to the imagination. The depiction of heads on spears with faces depicting horror, pain, and blood is particularly disturbing. The beheading of Imam is also illustrated, which I find highly offensive. This book does not reflect the work of a seasoned author or illustrator. I've also been disappointed by previous publications from this publisher, which tend to be overpriced and attractive but lack substance. The books promise much but deliver little in terms of quality.
