PEGASUS
CAMUS FIRST MAN GN
(W) Albert Camus (A) Jacques Ferrandez (CA) Jacques Ferrandez
This new illustrated of Camus's final novel tells the story of Jacques Cormery, a boy who lived a life much like Camus's own. In telling the story of his metaphorical search for his father, who died in World War I, Camus returns to the "land of oblivion where each one is the first man" and must find his own answers. Published thirty-five years after its discovery amid the wreckage of the car accident that killed the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, this graphic interpretation of The First Man is the brilliant consummation of the life and work of one of the twenty century's greatest authors. This stunning, fully illustrated edition summons up the sights, sounds and textures of a childhood defined by poverty and a father's death, yet redeemed by the austere beauty of Algeria.
CAMUS STRANGER GN
(W) Albert Camus (A) Jacques Ferrandez (CA) Jacques Ferrandez
A visually stunning adaptation of Albert Camus's masterpiece that offers an exciting new graphic interpretation while retaining the book's unique sensibility. The day his mother dies, Meursault notices that it is very hot on the bus that is taking him from Algiers to the retirement home where his mother lived; so hot that he falls asleep. Later, while waiting for the wake to begin, the harsh electric lights in the room make him extremely uncomfortable, so he gratefully accepts the coffee the caretaker offers him and smokes a cigarette. The same burning sun that so oppresses him during the funeral walk will once again blind the calm, reserved Meursault as he walks along a deserted beach a few days later - leading him to commit an irreparable act.
PARADISE LOST GN
(W) John Milton (A) Pablo Auladell (CA) Pablo Auladell
One of the oldest and most powerful stories of all time - God and Satan, Adam and Eve - retold in stunning graphic novel form by the dark and beautiful imagery of Pablo Auladell. Milton's epic poem charts humanity's fall from grace and the origin of the struggle between God and Satan, good and evil, life and death. In the aftermath of the Angels' devastating defeat in the war for Heaven, Satan determines to seek his revenge. Meanwhile, Adam and Eve have newly awakened in the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost has now been reimagined by the Spanish artist Pablo Auladell. His bleak and surprising imagery captures the lyricism of Milton's original for a new audience.
