Summary
La historia de Gen es la de un superviviente que nos muestra, a través de su mirada, cómo su mundo se convierte en un infierno. Con tan solo seis años, conoce el sufrimiento de los que pierden a un ser querido a manos de la guerra; o de los que, como Natsue, la niña que conoce pocos días después del ataque, han quedado desfigurados por las quemaduras. Gen, su madre y su hermana Tomoko, nacida de forma prematura a causa del estrés postraumático, deberán aprender a vivir en una ciudad en la que solo parece tener cabida la desesperación. La desgarradora tragedia de Gen se inspira en la experiencia del propio autor, que en agosto de 1945 también era un chiquillo de seis años incapaz de comprender lo que ocurría.
Esta monumental obra es una oda a todos aquellos que sobrevivieron, un homenaje a los que perdieron la vida y un recordatorio de los horrores que el hombre es capaz de crear. Pies descalzos no solo trata los terribles efectos de la bomba atómica, sino que también muestra los dilemas éticos a los que debe enfrentarse una familia humilde cuyo único deseo es poder vivir en paz en el marco de una cultura conservadora, militarizada y entregada a una causa bélica.
