(W) Natsuo Sekigawa (A) Jiro Taniguchi The Meiji era (1868-1912) was one of Japanese history's defining periods, a time of massive change from the more traditional Tokugawa era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world.

Sekigawa explores the period through an adult point-of-view, and Taniguchi's art portrays the material with exquisite and elegant detail. Presented in traditional Japanese format reading.

(W/A) Willy Linthout It had been a normal morning in the Germonprez household. Carl reading the newspaper, Simone tackling some morning chores, and their son, Jack - 'Your son has jumped off the roof!' Carl, in an emotional haze, heads off to work only to discover, on the sidewalk outside their home, a chalk outline where there had been a son. No parent should have to bury a child, especially through suicide. Linthout draws an almost tangible pain with his immediate, rudimentary art and strong script which comes from personal experience. Winner of the Belgian Cultural Prize. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
