Livre Derborence, France

*Derborence* is a powerful graphic novel, adapted from the famous novel by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz. The story opens with a mountain collapsing onto an alpine pasture and follows villagers in mourning, a man who has returned from the unthinkable, and a woman who refuses to lose hope. Fabian Menor adapts and illustrates this classic of Swiss literature with great sensitivity, highlighting the connections between the characters and the raw power of the Alpine landscapes. Created with brush and India ink, the illustrations powerfully convey the harsh and stirring atmosphere of the high mountains. A moving graphic novel that is at once literary, visual, and deeply Swiss.
