| Summary |
At the end of the 10th century: the death of Alhake+n III has left the caliphate of Co+rdoba in the hands of Hisham II, an eleven-year-old boy. His guardian, Almanzor, takes advantage of the circumstance to reign in his name. Among his provisions stands out the burning of thousands of volumes from the Co+rdoba library. Only a few will be saved, on the back of a mule guided by a thief and a couple of slaves. In this masterful graphic novel, screenwriter Wilfrid Lupano and artist Le+onard Chemineau write a love letter to knowledge, tolerance, and the achievements of culture as the last barrier to the advance of totalitarianism. |
