L'Âge de cristal
Frantz Duchazeau's graphic novel, originally published as Pierre de cristal, has been reissued by Robinson under the title L'Âge de cristal. This poignant story explores the anxieties of childhood, family dynamics, and the transition toward growing up.
The narrative follows young Pierre, who uses photography and a quartz talisman to cope with his fears regarding his parents' potential separation. During a stay at his grandmother's house, he experiences newfound freedom alongside his cousin, confronting universal themes like aging and mortality. The black-and-white artwork evokes a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the 1970s. This new edition includes four additional pages, offering a sensitive look at the fleeting nature of childhood.
