In exchange, he will free Eric and Concha’s daughter, whom he has just kidnapped, unharmed. Forced to accept, Redbeard and Eric play a particularly risky double game… A story in two volumes based on a triangular business.

By trapping Lady Darksee, Raven has shown a daring move. Not only had he already recovered the emeralds, but he also isolated the pirate captain from her crew back at camp.

Worker by day, painter by night, Slava helps Nina keep the mine they saved from the greed of the oligarchs afloat. But in the vast mess that is the Russian economy, it’s not that simple.

People are getting organised in anticipation of the Allied landings, which seem imminent… In response, the Nazis issue the Sperrle Decree, which ramps up repression in France, aided by the French Militia.

It is November 1935 and Fernando Pessoa is dying. At just 47, his body has been ravaged by alcohol and tobacco. A young out-of-work journalist, Simão Cerdeira, is commissioned by Lisbon’s evening paper, the “Diário de Lisboa,” to write Pessoa’s obituary. Knowing nothing about him except that his last work, “Mensagem,” was awarded a prize by the Ministry of Propaganda, Cerdeira throws himself into the task. His meetings with the poet and discussions with those who know him create an intimate account of Pessoa’s last three days. “Fernando Pessoa: The Restless Poet” therefore recalls “Citizen Kane” as it alternates between contrasting but complementary views of Pessoa—public and private—to provide a unique insight into the complex personality of one of the greatest Portuguese poets of the 20th century.

Alix is a young woman who seems to have everything going for her. No sooner graduated in Art than she lands herself a job and signs a publishing contract for a graphic novel. In her personal life, too, she is having a smooth ride, living happily with her long-term boyfriend. Yet this happy public image contrasts sharply with a private anguish. Alix suffers terribly every time she makes love. At first, she blames herself, convinced that she must continue to have sex if their relationship is to survive. But before long, the pain becomes unbearable and she must tell Seb the truth.

In this autobiographical story, Alix Garin speaks for thousands of women who suffer as she did but don’t dare admit it—because female sexual desire is still a taboo subject in our society.

Sitting in the front room of her brothel, Madam Anne Bonny, once a pirate of the South Seas, looks back on her life… and the story of her adventures is rather shocking!

An illegitimate child born in a remote Irish village, Anne escaped her dreary destiny by fleeing to the Caribbean, where she fought with pirates and met the love of her life, Jack Rackham.

Claire Richard plays with the clichés of the pirate genre in this feminist rewrite of a well-known story, whose humor lies in the disconnect between official history and modern reinterpretation.

At the age of 10, Christine sees her mother die of complications she had during pregnancy. She finds solace in running—a passion that remains with her into adulthood. When she finds out that there is a Paris Marathon, she knows she must take part. What she doesn’t know is that women are not allowed to enter…

Parents Emma and Malo don’t know what to do about their son Sacha. He is 8 and, like most other kids of his age, is a manga fan, his favorite character being Mitsuo. But, when they watch him closely, they notice that Sacha is not like other kids at all. He is in a different world, his own world—or rather the world of Mitsuo. For Sacha, reality is what he reads, and he lives his life through his hero.

Communicating with Sacha becomes increasingly difficult, until finally his teachers inform Emma and Malo that he can no longer attend school because he requires more attention than they can give him.

Faced with this crisis, Emma and Malo have different ideas as to what to do. When they are unable to agree on a course of action, Emma decides to run away with her son… and, like him, to take refuge in the world of Mitsuo.

December 1941. Pearl Harbor has just been attacked, plunging the US into WW2. Alan is a brilliant but unassuming young psychiatrist who has been persuaded to join the Marines by his fiancée’s father, a retired general. His primary duty is to assist with recruiting by putting volunteers through various medical and psychological tests. The purpose of these is to sideline anyone likely to cause problems, such as alcoholics, kleptomaniacs, and mythomaniacs… but also homosexuals.

Things get complicated when Alan meets Merle, an extravert and rebellious young Marine, and—to his own amazement—falls in love with him. The two young men then begin a relationship that they must keep secret and, when Merle is sent to the Pacific, Alan decides to join him. Together, they must find ways to survive not only the Japanese onslaught but also the merciless homophobic purges of the US Navy…

DISCOVER THE HISTORY OF THIS MUSICAL MOVEMENT THAT’S MAKING A SPLASH!

At the end of the seventies, in the pubs and backrooms of the Anglo-Saxon world, a provocative and rebellious music never heard before was breaking through the conformism of the time, blasting propriety and good taste. Punk rock had arrived – and no one would leave alive!

Today, more than a sound and an energy remain from this tsunami: a radical way of living and thinking that continues to seduce free spirits.

In images and words, let’s rediscover the fascinating story of this musical revolution, as memorable as it was dazzling.

But is Shania this kind of diplomat of chaos? More importantly, does she really have a choice?

Laurent-Frédéric Bollée (La Bombe) and Philippe Aymond lay down the cards of their formidable scriptwriting game in the second part of a diptych on a par with the best spy and action films.

Blandine, a young 15-year-old, loves the Auvergne region where she lives with her family in Chaudes-Aigues. Her other passion is video games. That’s exactly why, with the help of her friend Marco, she develops one. In Arven’s World, she imagines the ideal ecological society, very strongly inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity and by the natural beauties of her region. The game is partly managed by an artificial intelligence.

As Blandine starts to explore the game, she notices that her creation seems to have gone out of control. Not only are the NPCs inventing dialogues and acting strangely, but a monster she had invented for certain parts of the game starts spreading chaos… precisely where it shouldn’t be! Blandine, and Marco, will investigate in the real and virtual worlds to understand what is going on. A story which, under the guise of virtual worlds, speaks to us about the threats which weigh on our world, and the need to defend it, especially with renewable energies.

19th-century London.

When she rescues a wounded bulldog from the River Thames, Eden Glitter has no idea that this simple act will draw her into an action-packed adventure… Assisted by Kessy and Irwin (two street urchins who are also “stoolies”) and with the solid support of Gareth (her husband, who also happens to be a police officer), Eden confronts a gang of evildoers led by the odious and unscrupulous Flynn Hellwood. Determined to bring him to justice, Eden discovers that Hellwood secretly holds regular contests in which all kinds of animals are made to fight, a shameless activity run for his own pleasure and profit. Even though the practise has been made illegal, Hellwood seems determined to flout the law…

Delving deeper into this sinister case, Eden also uncovers the method Hellwood uses to steal people’s beloved pets—an “underworld” of waifs and orphans who somehow manage to break into their houses in the dead of night…

It’s with great pleasure that we return to the benches of Belle Épine school and Monsieur Perrault’s class. In the village, while the shop fronts decked out in their finest finery warm the hearts of the pupils, the bitter cold heralds a harsher winter than the last. Never mind, it’s high time to write a letter to Father Christmas! Greta would like her mum to find a boyfriend; Tartarin is fed up with wooden toys and wants lead; Hansel and Bretzelle want their weight in sweets; Narcolette wants unicorn pyjamas… As for Monsieur Perrault, he seems to be in deep thought on the eve of the holidays…

Alongside life at Belle Épine and the many allusions to fairy tales that readers will delight in discovering, in this volume the teacher reveals a new part of his story, the dark and sad story of the war years. In ‘Les racontages de M’sieu Perrault’, the light-hearted scenes of snowball fights and walks in the woods sit alongside more reflective, even difficult sequences, just like the tales from which they are inspired. An ode to friendship and kindness, Volume 2 offers a new interlude that is both poetic and infinitely gentle.

Veloce, an anxious and reckless young velociraptor, is on a quest to find answers to the mocking mammals’ claims of the future extinction of his species. The small mammals mock Veloce and his fellow creatures, saying they are too big, too pathetic, too stupid to survive. For them, the dinosaurs are doomed to extinction, and all the better because they eat all the resources of the planet, destroy their habitats, and roam the earth aimlessly. Veloce tries to ignore it, but the predictions still worry him. His parents, too busy with other priorities, tell him that only the wise Troodon and the old Ankylosaurus have in the past already figured out the long journey our heroes will take.

Frightened, Granny decides to sort the matter out as quickly as possible and whisks her granddaughter off to the strange icy mountains, where there is an astonishing city populated by worrying creatures…

In a future where rising seas have reshaped Europe, the concept of ocean no longer exists: it’s the Nocean. Atari and Tika, the two young activists hunted down by the police of the totalitarian city in which they are trying to survive, are now threatened by the raging waves that relentlessly batter the ageing dykes surrounding the lower parts of the city. Panicked, the inhabitants are trying to climb to the higher ground… But theEUR police refuse. So Atari, Tika and their friends have only two solutions: drown or try their luck by gaining access to the highly protected ‘Cumulus’, which controls all the city’s access systems… But how does Tika know the way to the Cumulus? The truth will soon come out. And it will be terrible…
