Timothée de Fombelle Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Je horké léto roku 1798. Francie je na pokraji státního bankrotu a lidem se nedostává chleba, i když pekaři do mouky přimíchávají piliny. Zatímco Alma s Josefem jsou strženi revolucí, od afrických břehů dál vyplouvají lodě s podpalubím přeplněným otroky. Do Paříže právě přibyl tajemný pan Bassompierre, v němž Josef Mars poznává dávno ztraceného přítele, ale Alma musí sledovat stopy svého bratra do Louisiany a Amélie Bassacová mýtí les, sází kávovníky, staví mlýn… Vydělává peníze na splacení lichvářského úvěru, jinak o svou usedlost přijde.... A velké dějiny zatím uhánějí dál: od jednoho břehu Atlantiku k druhému, z Versailles, přes Londýn až do Louisiany, od povstání ve Francii po povstání otroků na Saint-Domingue. V závěrečném dílu románu trilogie se protínají osudy těch, kteří hledají svobodu, s osudy otrokářů a královské rodiny. A pouto Almy a Josefa se tváří v tvář všudy přítomnému nebezpečí stále upevňuje.

"A dying girl. A sick planet. One last hope to survive. The world is run by !ndustry and the only thing that matters is to buy, buy, buy. People live in crowded cities where cars are stacked vertically and people traverse through corridors and shopping centres that run miles into the sky. Celeste lives in Tower 330 barely visible in the immense city, shrouded by a fog of fumes. On the day she starts school on the 110th floor of a tower block, she meets a lonely, young boy. The next day she doesn't return. Her blood has become as polluted as the seas and rivers. Her lungs as contaminated as the city. On a mission to save her, the boy battles the forces of !ndustry and, with help of his best friend Briss, takes her far, far away. Will the world realise the truth of Celeste's disease? Will there be time for her, and the planet, to recover?"--Publisher's description

Ein einsamer Eiswagenfahrer ist am Weihnachtsabend unterwegs von Italien nach England. Am selben Abend fliegt eine Schwalbe aus der Hitze Afrikas in die Kälte des Nordens. Und ein Dritter macht sich im Verborgenen ebenfalls auf den Weg. Ohne dass die drei voneinander wissen, sind sie doch untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Eine poetisch erzählte, ungewöhnliche Weihnachtsgeschichte, die berührt, das Herz weit werden lässt und noch lange nachklingt.

Im Winter 1916 in Frankreich ist die fünfjährige Rosalie von Krieg umgeben. Ihr Vater ist an der Front, ihre Mutter arbeitet in einer Fabrik und liest Rosalie die Briefe des Vaters vor.

What could possibly connect two solitary beings--a former Opéra de Paris dancer and an elusive man whom everyone fears? New York, 1954. On the roof of an apartment building, a young woman patiently tends to her beehives and seems to be longing for someone or some thing. In the building across the street lives a kingpin of crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them: the void, a police car, and a private fenced-in park under lock and key. Gramercy Park is one of those rare graphic novels that defies the obvious and clichéd, allowing the reader the freedom to wander in this mysterious adventure and get lost in the poetic script of Timothée de Fombelle and embrace the delicate drawings and muted colors of Christian Cailleaux.

Timothée de Fombelle and Isabelle Arsenault capture the heart-wrenching cost of war for one small girl in a delicately drawn, expertly told tale.While her father is at war, five-year-old Rosalie is a captain on her own secret mission. She wears the disguise of a little girl and tracks her progress in a secret notebook. Some evenings, Rosalie's mother reads aloud Father's letters from the front lines, so that Rosalie knows he is thinking of her and looking forward to the end of the war and to finally coming home. But one day a letter comes that her mother doesn't read to her, and Rosalie knows her mission must soon come to an end. Author Timothée de Fombelle reveals the true consequence of war through the experiences of small, determined Rosalie, while acclaimed artist Isabelle Arsenault illustrates Rosalie's story in muted grays marked with soft spots of color -- the orange flame of Rosalie's hair, the pale pink of a scarf, the deep blue ink of her father's letters. All the more captivating for the simplicity with which it is drawn and told, this quiet tale will stay with the reader long after its last page is turned.
