Ansia de vivir

Following the 1929 stock market crash, the United States entered the Great Depression, a financial crisis with global repercussions throughout the 1930s. In "The Lust for Life", Will Eisner masterfully captured the consequences of this situation on the individual through the experiences of a Bronx resident. In this story, Eisner brilliantly portrays the protagonist's instinct for survival and existential conflicts against a backdrop of sudden poverty, the rise of Nazism, and the debate surrounding socialism.
