But they are also the age at which we learn to aceept who we are and finally find our way.

It is said that the spirit of Beirut is embodied in a genie that cannot be destroyed unless the city itself is destroyed… but this has yet to be proved.

In the 1970s, Beirut is a kaleidoscope of contrasting communities, their members living in relative harmony. But the advent of war threatens to disrupt this fragile balance.

I sit gazing out over the Bay of Alexandria, where once my palace stood. I am Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, the last Queen of Egypt. They say I am a femme fatale, licentious and venomous, who made amuse-bouches of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony; a heartless, merciless murderer. The Roman propaganda machine certainly did a good job. When I was a little girl, I had a gift for languages. I was fascinated by the catacombs that sprawled beneath the ancient city of Alexandria. Then I grew into a pretty, though not stunning, young woman. I had four children. I ruled a man’s world. I was the head of its most powerful empire. And my story became inextricably linked with famous historical events…

In this superb graphic novel, Isabelle Dethan challenges the myths that surround Cleopatra. Was she really a femme fatale and a matchless beauty? Did her nose really change the course of history? Did she really bathe in ass’s milk? Did she really soak her pearls in vinegar? With a combination of humor and academic rigor, Dethan tells the true story of Egypt’s last queen.

In the waning days of hunting and gathering, as settlements grow and flourish, humankind faces a stark choice: nomadism’s freedom and the hard life that goes with it, or sedentary society, with its refinements and hierarchies. These forking paths become more mutually exclusive, stirring enmity and conflict, but human squabbles prove petty in the face of natural disaster when it comes, towering and indifferent. In this Stone Age fable with curiously contemporary overtones, told with vibrant colors and a sweeping sense of story, Nicolas Puzenat touches on so many enduring mysteries, from religion to conscience to the anxiety of freedom.

Friends and roommates Aline and Brigitte reach the store where they work only to find all their colleagues already there: Mrs. Ledoyen; Augustin the designer, who has a secret crush on Aline; Eve, the cantankerous cleaning lady; and, of course, the boss, Mr. Séraphin, with whom Aline is secretly in love. All the characters are present and accounted for; what better place to kick off the first scene than in the bathroom, where Aline accidentally walks in on the boss and finds out his secret: a micro-penis! That night, she shares her discovery with her best friend, who can’t resist the temptation to pass it on, in less than flattering terms, to her boyfriend… who also used to work at the store until Mr. Séraphin fire him. Now, he sees a perfect opportunity for revenge… Finding the storefront covered in explicit graffiti the next morning, Aline is eager to tell Mr. Séraphin that she doesn’t care because she loves him. And, surely, the best way to convince him of that is to admit that Nature has also dealt her a less-than-ideal hand…

Despite his oddball hobo look, Horse is a young man with heart. His frail health and lofty ambitions have something of the heroic grandeur of John Kennedy Toole’s Ignatius J. Reilly, while his “soft” drug-soaked language and zany coolness recall the Dude from the Coen Brothers’ Big Lebowski.
