Benoist Simmat,
Daniel Casanave
Les Arènes BD, 2018
In Mesopotamia, Egypt and Ancient
Greece, wine was the most sacred
of all beverages. It was the drink of
the powerful. One could say the same
thing today, in London, Tokyo and
San Francisco, a glass of Bordeaux,
Napa or New Zealand Sauvignon is still
a great delicacy. Ten thousand years
after its first appearance wine has
become the drink of globalization.
Furthermore, the history and culture
of wine across the ages is a reflection
of the history mankind.

de la médecine
Noël Fabiani, Philippe Bercovici

organ transplants, The History
of Medicine is a novel where love,

In this first graphic novel about the

Texaco
Sophie Tardy-Joubert,
Pablo Fajardo
For twenty years, Texaco extracted
black gold from the Ecuadorian
Amazon. In 1993, American oil tankers
sailed away for the last time leaving
behind one of the worst environmental
disasters the world has ever known.
30,000 indigenous people from
Amazonia filed a law suit for them
to clean up their land. In 2011, they
won, and the Ecuadorian judiciary
condemned the company to a fine
of 9 billion dollars. It is, to this day,
the only time a community in a
developing country has ever beaten
a multinational. A story about an
unprecedented contemporary struggle.

I Love You Today
C’est aujourd’hui
que je vous aime
François Morel, Pascal Rabaté
We’re a bit flip when we’re twelve.
We fall in love. The name of the one
we love is a chant, their looks a love
song. We stare, we swoon, we fantasize,
we desire. This narrative is somewhat
autobiographical. François Morel
is “one of the guys”, he is a typical boy
of that age, mischievous and gentle
as he can be. This actor describes
budding and bumbling early love.
He talks about young emotions;
what love feels like and what coming
to terms with physical changes.
During the time of Giscard d’Estaing,
an adolescent discovers his emotions.

The Story of Sexuality

Une histoire du sexe
Philippe Brenot, Laetitia Coryn
One could say that sexuality is
omnipresent in our societies. But who
knows what it really is and where it
comes from? Who really understand it?
During the seven years of medical
studies, not a single hour of course
work covers this important subject that
is part of everyone’s life. That’s why
Philippe Brenot has decided to write
about sexuality, which is not as much
defined by human nature as by culture
forged by societies. You will learn
a lot from the invention of the vibrator
by Cleopatra to the origin of taboos
to the sexual liberation of societies…

I, Crazy
Moi, fou

After Moi, assassin (I, Killer), which
was awarded the “Critique ACBD”
Grand Prize in 2015 and has sold over
15,000 copies in France alone, Altarriba
and Keko continue their “I Trilogy”
with Moi, fou (I, Crazy). While the first
book explored moral and artistic
deception, Moi, fou tackles scientific
duplicity and the topic of whistle-
blowers. A psychological thriller that
is deep, dark, smart, and stridently
critical of psychiatry and of
the pharmaceutical industry.

Herzl, a European Story
Herzl, une histoire européenne
Camille de Toledo,
Alexander Pavlenko
Through two opposite but oddly
symmetrical destinies, this powerful
graphic novel takes on two pillars
of Jewish thought: the tradition
of exile and the expectations of the
“Promise Land”. More than a biography,
it draws the complex portrait of
Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a man
of contradictions, a Viennese dandy,
perfectly assimilated but obsessed
with his Zionist “dream”… A portrait
revealed through the life and
“investigations” of a fictional narrator,
a boy from the shtetls, chased from
Russia by the pogroms. This book
gives fantastic insight into the history
of Europe between 1881 and 1931,
and in turn into many events of the
20th Century…

An Englishman in My Tree
Un Anglais dans mon arbre
Olivia Burton, Mahi Grand
At her father’s funeral, Olivia learns
from one of her uncles that she is
a descendent of Sir Richard Burton,
the 19th century British explorer,
co-discoverer of the source of the
White Nile. Discovering such a
legendary figure perched up in her
family tree becomes a perfect pretext
for our intrepid author to set off on
a wild journey around the world that
will take her to Rwanda the source
of the White Nile, one of the tributaries
of “The Great River”. This adventure
really did take place and serves as
the framework for this portrait of
the extravagant explorer whose glory
was eclipsed by his contemporary
Livingstone. A unique work of historic
fiction steeped in British humor.

Ugo Bienvenu
Bienvenu continues his explorations
of the future. This time he presents
a world where data is using up so
much memory that some of it has to
be deleted. The archivist Yves doesn’t
know what to do. To ensure the
information is not gone forever, he
secretly stores some of the archival
content, most of it more poetic than
political, on Mikki, his personal robot’s,
drive. When Yves and his wife die in a
tragic accident Mikki steps in to raise
and educate their daughter Isi.
Secreted away deep in a long-
forgotten country location, the robot
transmits to his human pupil the
memory and the knowledge of a part
of the history of humanity in the
processes of being erased. An ode to
nature and the little things that makes
us who we are.

Collective
Gallimard Bande dessinée,
2018
An accessible, informative,
and playful history of typography.
Important to books, advertising, and
screens, typography is everywhere
in our daily lives, but little is known
about it. How did it start? Which
artists have been key in its history?
From the birth of writing in the West
to phototypesetting, by way of ancient
Rome, the Middle Ages, Bauhaus,
and the Vox-ATypl classification,
typography has gone through many
stages. Eleven illustrators and a
plethora of graphic styles tell its story
in a way that is as playful as it
is accessible.

A Season at the UN
Une saison à l’ONU
Karim Labhour, Aude Massot
Steinkis, 2018
Everyone has heard of the UN but
who really knows what they really do
and how it works? And today, 70 years
after its founding, it is difficult to say if
it has actually accomplished its primary
purpose: maintaining international
peace and security! During his four
years as a press correspondent at
the UN, Karim Lebhour observed the
impotence of the Security Council,
the decline of western dominance and
the advent of a new Cold War with
Russia. In this work, he chronicles the
numerous flaws and failures of the UN.
His observations, sometimes offbeat,
often funny, always edifying, bring us
into the daily life of this gigantic
administration that brings together
hundreds of countries, dozens of
agencies and employs 44,000 people!

The Story of Cubism
Les aventures du cubisme
Julie Birmant, Pierre Fouillet
Steinkis, 2018
This is how it all started!
This is how they revolutionized art!
The artists’ cash strapped outings,
their miserable studios, the impact
of African art, the squabbles, the
scheming, Paris’ outrage, the critics’
assassinations… Who were these
visionaries, originators of this shakeup?
Painters, Cézanne, Picasso, Braque,
Derain… Poets, Apollinaire, Max Jacob…
art dealers Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler.
We follow them closely, how they love
each other, hate each other, confide
in each other! Love, life, death, creativity,
the anecdotes that make up this rich
narrative that established modernity,
Cubism! The Cubism exhibition will be
at be Centre Pompidou in Paris until
February 2019.

From Black to White

Clément Baloup,
Stéphane Louis
Steinkis / RMN, 2018
A mirror portrait of Michael Jackson
and the Black American struggle from
1964 to 2009. Curtis grew up in Harlem
with his family in America of the 70s.
In this broken-down corner of New York
nothing is easy. Everything is hard
to get or comes through violence.
Fascinated by Michael Jackson, Curtis
has a gift for dance which soon leads
him to consider another life. But should
the rock star be his only role model
at a time where hip-hop is the voice
of discontent of black Americans?
Torn between his idols, his rising career
and his fight for black rights, Curtis has
to decide whether to ignore his being
different or affirm it going forward. This
work is a co-edition with Les Éditions
de la RMN. The Michael Jackson exhibit
On the Wall will be at the Grand Palais
in Paris until February 2019.
