Description

Scénariste, Dessinateur, Coloriste - Né le 01/01/1961 (FRANCE) Pascal CROCI, scénariste et dessinateur autodidacte, vit dans l’Aveyron. Il a connu la consécration grâce à Auschwitz, bande dessinée-document qui a reçu le Prix Jeunesse de l’Assemblée Nationale en 2000. Il fait ses premières armes en dessinant des bandes dessinées religieuses dans la presse catholique. Puis, il s’affranchit de ce travail de commande pour réaliser ses premières œuvres d’auteur. Son univers gothique met en scène des drames romantiques où la femme magnifiée est généralement trahie par les siens. En 2005, il s'attaque à la légende de Dracula et réalise sa suite Dracula, le mythe d’après le roman de Bram Stoker. Soit deux hommages à la littérature et au cinéma de vampires. Enfin avec Auschwitz, traduit en 10 langues, il obtient une reconnaissance internationale.

Marie Antoinette

4.0 (1)

Drawing on diaries, letters, court records, and memoirs, Evelyn Lever paints vivid portraits of Marie Antoinette, her inner circle, and the lavish court life at Versailles. Married off for political reasons at the age of fourteen, Marie Antoinette was naive, impetuous, and unprepared for the role history cast her in. Evelyn Lever weaves the tragic tale of the Queen's life, from her birth in Vienna in 1755 through her turbulent, unhappy marriage, the bloody turmoil of the French Revolution, her trial for high treason (during which she was accused of incest), and her final beheading. The result is an unforgettable tapestry of life in eighteenth-century France. (from [BetterWorldBooks])
