From the shelves of bookstores, comics and manga arrive at school desks: the volume exploits the potential of comics to stimulate interest in history in middle school students. The most famous comics and manga (including, for example, Asterix and the Britons) become a tool to approach historical themes in an original and divergent way.
The activities and exercises proposed in the volume are accompanied by historical insights and complete indications to guide the exercises in class, in particul thanks to the worksheets enriched by comic strips and the numerous materials in digital format downloadable from the Online Resources.
