Mademoiselle Baudelaire (2021)
Two hundred years after his birth, Baudelaire continues to mark the generations and the poet has hovered over Yslaire's work from the beginning. Yet it is Jeanne Duval, the one the poet loved the most and the most accursed, that the designer has chosen to revisit in this masterpiece the sulphurous and autobiographical material of the Fleurs du mal. Of Jeanne, however, we know almost nothing, neither her real name, nor her date of birth, nor her date of death. No letter signed by his hand has reached us. There are still a few testimonies, portraits drawn by Baudelaire himself, an unauthenticated photo of Nadar, not to mention the poems she inspired in him. Jeanne, "it is the invisible of a whole era" which reappears in the feminist resonance of ours. She who was stigmatized as mulatto, Creole and nicknamed "Black Venus" in reference to the "Hottentot Venus", loving all the prejudices of a misogynist and racist century.
Eden (2018)
Once upon a Christmas Eve, animals begin to talk. And they refuse to be muzzled again. Humans aren't going to like what they have to say, and it isn't long before the consequences of the animals' newfound communication turn tragic. Not understanding their pets is no longer a valid excuse for ignorant masters, and shunning those who squeal and chirp ceases to be feasible. The tables are turned, and it's up to humankind to deal with the situation. A smart, thought-provoking book that prompts readers to rethink their habits, and which stands as a superbly crafted, emotion-packed story (Europe Comics: 222 pages). Tomek Woroniak.
