Les oiseaux ne se retournent pas

BIRDS DO NOT TURN BACKOne day, the decision is made: Amel, a 12-year-old orphan, is to leave. There is no choice: her country is at war. Unfor-tunately, nothing goes to plan. At the border, Amel becomes separated from the family accompanying her and finds herself alone. Along the way she meets Bacem, a deserter and oud player. Together, the child and the soldier learn to start afresh. At least a quarter of those forced into exile in Europe are unaccompanied minors. They are fleeing the same barbarity as the adults.

Castelmaure

CASTELMAUREFor over 20 years, the Mythographer has been traveling along all the roads and lanes of the country to collect popular tales and legends. He loves this modest work that enables him to meet all sorts of inveterate liars and huc-ksters. But there is one story he has always sought after: the Curse of Castelmaure, an extraordinary legend to which many destinies are strangely linked. Lewis Trondheim and Alfred investigate in this poetic, dramatic, and humorous graphic novel that feels like a medieval fairy tale for adults.

Hakim’s Odyssey

Géante

GIANTESSOnce upon a time there was a real giantess, Céleste, an orphan found in the heart of the mountain. She was the youngest child in a family of 6 brothers. When the time came for them to fly the nest, Céleste too wished to set out into the world alone. She will come to discover hostility based on differences, the injustice of war and religion, but also love and, in the end, why not… the freedom to be herself?

HAKIM’S ODYSSEY (BOOK 3)FROM MACEDONIA TO FRANCEThe true story of a man who had to leave everything behind—his family, his friends, his business—because war had broken out, because he had been tortured, because the neighboring country seemed to offer a better future and safety. Between hope and violence, this true story explains how war forces you to leave your home and say goodbye to the people you love, thus turning you into a refugee. A powerful and moving story about what it means to be human in a world that sometimes forgets how.

Homicide (Tome 5) : Une année dans les rues de Baltimore

HOMICIDE (BOOK 5)A YEAR ON THE STREETS OF BALTIMOREIn Homicide, A Year on the Killing Streets, published in 1991 in the United States, David Simon recounted his year spent with detectives from the Baltimore Police Department. In his adaptation, Philippe Squarzoni is not giving us a de-tective story but a realistic report, far from the depictions presented by Hollywood. In a city that has 240 murders a year, Homicide paints a meticulous picture of American urban violence in these disadvantaged districts.
