by Kristina Gehrmann  (Adapter, Illustrator), Upton Sinclair (Author). Long acclaimed around the world, Upton Sinclair's 1906 muckraking novel The Jungle remains a powerful book even today.

In today's society, where labor and safety of the food we eat remain key concerns for all, Sinclair's shocking story still resonates. Bringing new life and energy to this classic work, adapter and illustrator Kristina Gehrmann takes Sinclair's prose and transforms it through pen and ink, allowing you to discover (or rediscover) this book and see it from a whole new perspective.

The Marquis of Anaon

The Marquis of Anaon is a series of French comic history. It is based on the legend of the Marquis of Anaon, tells People of xviii century. Scenario: Fabien Vehlmann. Drawings: Matthieu Bonhomme. Colours: Delf. 

In the 1720s, Jean-Baptiste Poulain, son of a merchant and former medical student, travels to countries where mysterious phenomena have been observed or where inexplicable crimes were committed both to enrich his scientific knowledge to come assistance to victims of events that seem supernatural. Spirit Cartesian and rational, it must cope with living in remote regions where reigns the obscurantism and where crisis situations often result in the persecution of groups living on the margins of the community. Relations with the aristocrats are not simpler than the common people, each part of the social body obeying its own prejudices. Like the Wind Passengers, the series of Marquis Anaon recreates the past without betraying the complexity, presenting the reader with the adventures of a character slightly ahead mentality of his time. Following his first adventure, the farmers of the island of Brac gave Jean-Baptiste Poulain the nickname "marquis Anaon", ie lord of lost souls. The dialogues are interspersed with a few anachronisms, such as when the Countess de Almedia, the third album, speaks of "nations" about France and Spain of the early xviii th century; gold this concept will make sense in Europe after 1789.
