"Comics artist Simon Muchat is stuck. Suffering writer's block, uninspired, vegetating as a school art teacher, he is losing direction and his taste for life, until one day he is invited to appear at a comics convention in Portugal, the country his family came from and which he hadn't seen since his childhood. Even though he is a foreigner there, so many elements of the country are familiar to him. Meeting its lively citizens and recounting early memories brought by back his distant yet welcoming family all prove reinvigorating--the breath of fresh air he so badly needed. Based on his own experience, Pedrosa narrates this return to his roots in a deeply compelling and warmly human way." -- Page [4] of cover.

Back then, life was simple and sweet. The taste of cherries, the cool shade, the smell of the river... That was how we lived, in a vale among the hills—sheltered from storms, ignorant of the world, as though on an island, peaceful and untroubled.And then...And then everything changed.Can you ever escape your fate?Three shadows stand outside the house—and Louis and Lise know why the spectral figures are there. The shadows have come for Louis and Lise’s son, and nothing anyone can do will stop them. Louis cannot let his son die without trying to prevent it, so the family embarks on a journey to the ends of the earth, fleeing death.Poignant and suspenseful, Three Shadows is a haunting story of love and grief, told in moving text and sweeping black and white artwork by Cyril Pedrosa.

In an equinox, day is as long as night, as if the world found perfect equilibrium between shadow and light, a fleeting equilibrium, similar to the stakes of our human destinies. Segmented into four tableaux for four seasons, unrelated people of all social backgrounds seeking equilibrium cross paths with other solitudes, weaving in and out of one another's lives- all captivated and tormented by the enigmatic meaning of life.

Dans ces scènes de la vie quotidienne qui forment ensemble une autobiographie de l'auteur, C. Pedrosa pose avec humour les questions qui dérangent et celles qui tuent : comment peut-on être à la fois citadin, écolo pratiquant et avoir bonne conscience ? Comment accommoder son gauchisme convaincu et le confort moderne ?

Autor komiksów Simon Muchat cierpi na kryzys twórczy, a jego życie traci sens. Właśnie wtedy zostaje zaproszony do Portugalii, a tam przypadkiem odnajduje to, czego nawet nie szukał: zapach dzieciństwa, melodię wakacyjnych śmiechów, ciepło płynące ze strony zapomnianej, a może nawet utraconej rodziny. Dlaczego Simon nie czuje się związany z żadnym miejscem? Dlaczego kompletnie nie rozumiejąc obcego dla siebie języka portugalskiego, tak mocno reaguje na jego brzmienie? Podczas tej ożywczej podróży czekają na niego odpowiedzi i kolejne pytania. Poznając swoje korzenie, Simon dostaje szanse, by móc wreszcie wyznaczyć własną trajektorię. Jego życie nabiera kolorów. Cyril Pedrosa tworzy z malarskich barw i czystych emocji mądrą i pełną siły opowieść o poszukiwaniu tożsamości. wydanie II

A medieval saga with political intrigue reminiscent of Game of Thrones, The Golden Age is an epic graphic novel duology about utopia and revolution.

Following the epic cliffhanger in volume one, The Golden Age Book 2 concludes this exciting, medieval graphic novel duology. Tilda just wanted to reclaim her throne and now she has disappeared...and the only clue is the mysterious treasure of Ohman. As the rightful heir of late King Ronan, Tilda wants to deliver her people from famine and strife. But on the eve of her coronation, her younger brother, backed by a cabal of power-hungry lords, usurps her throne and casts her into exile, causing Tilda to go on the run. With the help of her last remaining allies, Tankred and Bertil, she travels throughout the hinterland of her kingdom. Wherever she goes, the common folk whisper of a legendary bygone era when all men lived freely. There are those who want to return to this golden age—at any cost. Where is Tilda, and will she be able to lead her kingdom amidst revolution?
