In a parallel universe, France’s greatest writers are all children who must learn their craft at the School of Literature.
They are each enrolled in a class corresponding to the century in which they lived. In the 19th-century class, new boy Victor Hugo is about to meet his classmates — Baudelaire, Balzac, Flaubert, Maupassant, and Zola. What are they taught? Do they learn Harry Potter-style spells? What do they do in their free time? Who will be bottom of the class and who will get to move up to the 20th century? One of the Mâtin series’ most popular titles!
“One Kilometer, Four Seasons” examines how I evolved from a little kid who liked drawing to an author and militant media illustrator. My questions are essential, and my answers personal: Why I draw? Why I turn to humor? Why I write? The first year of the Covid pandemic was fertile breeding ground for the kind of introspective reflecting I wanted to do on the past. The lockdown and resulting kilometer-long walks that were allowed during that time provided the setting for this story. As Jerusalem’s four seasons came and went, my memories — both close and distant — met in the natural environment of my neighborhood.

This story takes us deep into a dreamworld—a world of fear and consolation — in which our young hero attempts to say goodbye to his grandfather. But the passing of a loved one is merely the background to a story that is in fact a celebration of life, inspired by Mozart’s uplifting Haffner Symphony.
Far from dwelling on these difficult life moments, the story reminds us of the lightness of the moments of the joyful times spent together, showing us that we can always draw the positive from a situation.
Second opus of the collection Do Ré Mi Chat, inspired by Mozart’s Symphony N° 35.
