BBC Three announces new original horror series Red Rose". BBC Media Centre. 22 August 2019 . Retrieved 9 August 2022. She spoke out against the foolishness of the First World War, lambasting the socialist-in-name-only deputies that voted for the "inevitable" war. Their decision dumbfounded Rosa. How could socialists, committed to the international liberation of the working classes, declare nationalist war, pitting national working class against national working class? She left the party she had dedicated her life to with disgust. Her brutal arrest in 1916 is brought graphically to life, along with the foundation of the Communist Party of Germany in 1918 and the exhilaration of the November workers’ uprisings throughout the country the same year.

Still grieving over Roch's death, Wren and the rest of the gang decide to give in and play one of RR's games with a very public display of its powers and the consequences.

It might not be the most effective introduction to Luxemburg's work -- it's a little hard to get a grasp on her ideas, or more specifically, what her particular innovations or disagreements with others were. But the book offers plenty of quotes from her writings and certainly gives you a good sense of her overall beliefs. Her life story proceeds in a fairly typical step-by-step fashion: Evans clearly has no compunctions about zooming past the less eventful bits. But there isn't much in the way of intellectual biography here: you don't really see where her ideas are coming from, or how her life experiences influence them. Although there is a nice moment where Evans steps in to say that she will depart from the convention of defining women's lives through their relationships to men, this doesn't seem like a radically new form of biography. Red Rose is a 2022 British horror drama, based on the teenage angst experienced in varying degrees within a group of school-leavers obsessed with their smartphones.

I think any hometown that anyone has grown up in, if it's done its job, will become a character in their life. It's because it's got this beautiful combination of the moors and the town, it's got real voices and real people.

And not only is Rosa great, but this book is too. Remember when I gave 2.5 stars to the graphic biography of Emma Goldman and cited "the format" as what the issue was? Yeah, well, this is the same "format" but has none of those issues. This book actually covers Rosa's politics--including an excellent section where Marxist theory is covered as Rosa explains it to her brothers at the dinner table. But the fact that we get great information on Rosa's politics, opinions, and political projects does not come at the cost of her biography as a person, either. Various relationships are depicted, including good friends, lovers, family, political allies and adversaries, and my favorite--her pet cat, Mimi (Mimi is so adorable, too). Her letters are quoted extensively so we get a great idea of what was going on in her mind. This book also didn't run into that choppiness I've come across in other graphic biographies, where characters and situations are suddenly introduced only to be just as suddenly vanished without explanation. It flows really nicely. A personal and political biography of Rosa Luxemburg, from her childhood in Poland, through her early activism in Switzerland, to her revolutionary activity in Germany before, during, and after the war, and her eventual murder by the police under the socialist (in name only) government of Friedrich Ebert in 1919. The book has an infectious quality and an embracing enthusiasm for revolutionary ideas. It’s a perfect historic complement to the ongoing radicalisation of the Labour Party. An empowering read for would-be revolutionaries as much as for ‘old hands.’ Morning StarRed Rosa is a wonderfully composed and lively book. The story it tells is compelling, inspirational and fundamentally human. Instructional in its politics and discussions of economics, Red Rosa is also at turns humorous, romantic, and emotional. The decision to write this work in the graphic novel form was a brilliant one; if there is a biography whose multiple dimensions requires more than words to tell it, Rosa Luxembourg’s is such a biography. Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch comic διατρέχει τους σημαντικότερους σταθμούς της ζωής μίας απ’ τις μεγαλύτερες προσωπικότητες του επαναστατικού μαρξισμού. Οι αναγνώστες και οι αναγνώστριες που γνώριζαν ήδη τη Ρόζα μέσα από τα έργα της ή γενικότερα από την ιστορία της μαρξιστικής σκέψης και του σοσιαλιστικού – κομμουνιστικού κινήματος, θα ανακαλύψουν στιγμιότυπα της καθημερινότητας της φλογερής επαναστάτριας μέσα στις σελίδες του comic∙ τις φιλίες, τους έρωτες, τους αγώνες της για την ισότητα των φύλων, για την αβασίλευτη δημοκρατία, για την επανάσταση, την περίοδο της φυλάκισής της και τα τρυφερά της γράμματα προς τους οικείους της, την ακούραστη συνεισφορά της στην μαρξιστική θεωρία και στην καθημερινή κομματική αρθρογραφία. Η Kate Evans έχει εύστοχα σημειώσει ότι στο comic της αναδημιουργεί τη Ρόζα Λούξεμπουργκ ως έναν μυθοπλαστικό χαρακτήρα, βασισμένο σε αληθινά γεγονότα. Δεν επιχειρεί να την αγιοποιήσει, ούτε και θέλει να την ωραιοποιήσει. Αντιθέτως, παρουσιάζει μία καθημερινή γυναίκα, της οποίας η ομορφιά πηγάζει από τον πλούσιο εσωτερικό της κόσμο, από την γλυκύτητα του χαρακτήρα της κι από τη θαρραλέα της καθημερινή δράση κι όχι από εκείνες τις αναλογίες που θεωρούνται ιδανικές από τα κυρίαρχα πρότυπα ομορφιάς. Αυτή είναι μία συνειδητή επιλογή της Evans, η οποία προσδοκά να δημιουργήσει έναν γυναικείο χαρακτήρα οικείο στις γυναίκες αναγνώστριες, στις οποίες απευθύνεται προνομιακά το comic της. During the First World War, Luxemburg played a leading role in the pacifist Spartacus League, and was one of the founders of the Communist Party of Germany. After the 1919 uprising was crushed, she was executed by government forces.

The teenaged Luxemburg is depicted quoting Marx, stating that gods are all productions of "the mist-enveloped human brain" and exclaiming, "I have no special place in my heart for the ghetto. I feel at home in the entire world wherever there are clouds and birds and human tears".
