Product info
Available in English for the first time--the internationally bestselling graphic novel and an Official Selection at France's prestigious Angoulême Internaional Comics Festival by master illustrator-storyteller Chabouté (<i>Park Bench</i>, <i>Moby-Dick</i>). <p/>On a tiny lighthouse island far from the rest of the world, a lonely hermit lives out his existence. Every week a supply boat leaves provisions, its occupants never meeting him, never asking the obvious questions: Who are you? Why do you hide? Why do you never leave? What is it like to be so <i>alone</i>? <p/>Years spent on a deserted rock--a lifetime, really--with imagination his sole companion has made the lighthouse keeper something <i>more </i>than alone, something else entirely. For him, what lies beyond the horizon might be...nothing. And so, why not stay put? But one day, as a new boatman starts asking the questions all others have avoided, a chain of events unfolds that will irrevocably upend the hermit's solitary life.... <p/>Filled with stunning and richly executed black-and-white illustrations, <i>Alone</i> is Chabouté's masterpiece--an unforgettable tale where tenderness, despair, and humor intertwine to flawlessly portray how someone can be an everyman, and every man is someone. <p/>Translated from the French by Ivanka Hahnenberger.
