Paracuellos is a work of great courage, created at a time when telling the truth about Spain's political past could get one killed. It is arguably the most important graphic memoir ever created in comics. With a preface by Will Eisner.

Carlos Gimnez's autobiographical account of the plight of children in post-World War II Fascist Spain has won virtually every comics award in Europe, including Best Album at the 1981 Angoulme Festival, and the Heritage Award at Angoulme in 2010.

In the late 1930s when Spanish fascists led by Franco, and aided by Hitler and Mussolini, overthrew the elected government, almost 200,000 men and women fell in battle, were executed, or died in prison. Their orphaned childrenand others ripped from the homes of the defeatedwere shuttled from Church-run home to home and fed a steady diet of torture and disinformation by a totalitarian state bent on making them productive citizens.

Carlos Gimnez was one of those children. In 1975, after Franco's death, Carlos began to tell his story. Breaking the code of silence proved to be a milestone, both for the comics medium and for a country coming to terms with its past.

An illustrated essay by Carmen Moreno-Nuo, Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Kentucky, places the comics in historical perspective.

The stories transcend just being about a historical moment in Spain. Their humanity will speak to everyone. The stories are heartbreakers, but Carlos never loses his sense of humor.William Stout

must find a stud to install
The trick in this is to get it installed properly. It has weight limitations, but its sturdiness is directly proportional to how firmly it is installed. Find a stud!

Utility at its best
Snaps closed fast! I do like this thing though because the shelf is very stable and breathes well. HOWEVER it snaps shut very fast and very securely. The hooks were a little strange to install but once you get it set up it holds up well. I like the fact it collapses and hides away. Really great for a laundry room or a place you need a temporary shelf. Excellent and heavy weight material

great tuck-in shelf, though screws should be higher vs lower for stability
I'm really glad I got this little sweater drying rack. I love that it folds up against the wall to hardly take up any space at all. You do have to open and close it carefully b/c it can snap back very quickly and could pinch fingers or catch something else if there was anything hanging near it. The only other thing I don't love about it is that the screws are on the lower end of the frame so it is top-heavy and hangs forward. I screwed the screws in all the way to the drywall studs which we hammered flat against the wall and this still leans forward. It doesn't lean enough that something would slide off or anything but it doesn't look good when hanging out and forward. I definitely wouldn't use it as a display or storage shelf as it is pictured in one of the pictures in the listing. Even with that frustration though, I only took off one star as I'm overall very happy with the whole idea of this and it does work well and serve its purpose. I'm glad I got it.

Nice compact flat clothes drying shelf
I like this little collapsible drying shelf for my laundry room. It is compact and a great space saving shelf. I am always hunting for spaces to flat dry clothes where they wont be accessed by my toddlers or cat or dogs and this is a great solution for one off items that need flat drying. I love that it folds in so you don't always have to have a shelf sticking out. 5 stars
