Sinopsis

A fort in Dancalia February 1941. Attacked by an Italian plane, Loïnsky and his friends Hassan and Akavia become separated. Loïnsky finds refuge in an Italian fort in the Dancalian region, Fort Giuletti. Here he meets two new characters: Lieutenant de La Motte, a camel rider who has chosen to join the resistance, and an Asaimara warrior.
One surreal episode follows another to create a surprising tragicomic fresco, which the various actors (an alcoholic Italian commander, a disillusioned doctor, the French rebels and the beautiful Kismet...) only serve to make even stranger... Mundane conversation in Moulhoulé, February 1941. The African shore of the Red Sea (French Somali
coast). Koïnsky and de La Motte leave Fort Giuletti, and enter an area controlled by the terrible Danakils. Their car jumps out, and the two men reach the Moulhoulé fort. Fanfulla, the fort's Italian commander, the Frenchman, and the Pole begin their famous mundane conversation somewhere between fiction and reality. The main character in this series is Lieutenant Koinsky, a Pole who joined the British army after his country's surrender. We follow him on a series of adventures and encounters (Judittah Canaan, Cush, Stella, etc.) in which we recognize Pratt's style,reminiscent of the adventures of Corto Maltese. Koinsky, however, "is much tougher, more modern, less anarchistic than Corto, which makes him, in a way, closer to us." (Didier Platteau, in the introduction to the book).

“A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle 
 
One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. 
 
Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. 
 
“Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers Weekly
