I have set myself the goal of putting ordinary people, the working classes, the forgotten of history, in the foreground in all my albums, stresses the author.In these suburban neighborhoods where Italians, Poles and Algerians live together, and where tensions are more than palpable, the children play together and the neighbors help each other despite everything: Baru´s albums always have that human warmth, those sad and joyful atmospheres at the same time, always on the move, that mix drama and comedy like in the best Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.This complete edition of The Sputnik Years, which compiles the four volumes of the series (The Penalty, I´m the Boss, Beep Beep and Stupid Pigheads!, originally published in France between 1999 and 2003), is the chronicle of an era and a social class, seen through the filter of childhood, in the midst of the conquest of space. tradeinn Techinn
