Voila! Here is a story of a vaudevillian veteran, whom fate casts vicariously as both victim and villain, and whom you can call, V! Summary of the Book The graphic novel that inspired the super-hit movie, V for Vendetta, is a commanding story about loss of freedom and individuality. It is set in a futuristic totalitarian England - then a country with no political or personal freedom, and without any little faith in anything. The world is left aghast by nuclear war, and what was not blown up, was either wracked down by floods or crop failures. Out of the all the chaos and anarchy, there rises a man donning a Guy Fawkes mask to challenge the ruling party through his melodramatic acts of vandalism and violence. V, as he calls himself, is a man whose mission is violence, but inspiring, as he tries to bring down the government and make people see logic and sense in governing themselves. V for Vendetta is the ground-breaking graphic novel that defined sophisticated storytelling. Alan Moore's best-selling story is a brilliant depiction of totalitarianism and resistance, superbly illustrated by the renowned artist, David Lloyd. It's an enthralling tale of the hazy lines between ideological good and evil. About Alan Moore Alan Moore is an English comic book writer.
