La rencontre entre un auteur majeur de la bande dessinée et un éminent spécialiste des questions énergétiques et de l’impact sur le climat a abouti à ce projet, comme une évidence, une nécessité de témoigner sur des sujets qui nous concernent tous. Intelligent, limpide, non dénué d’humour, cet ouvrage explique sous forme de chapitres les changements profonds que notre planète vit actuellement et quelles conséquences, déjà observées, ces changements parfois radicaux signifient. Jean-Marc Jancovici étaye sa vision remarquablement argumentée en plaçant la question de l’énergie et du changement climatique au coeur de sa réflexion tout en évoquant les enjeux économiques (la course à la croissance à tout prix est-elle un leurre ?), écologiques et sociétaux. Ce témoignage éclairé s’avère précieux, passionnant et invite à la réflexion sur des sujets parfois clivants, notamment celui de la transition énergétique. Christophe Blain se place dans le rôle du candide, à la façon de son livre "En cuisine avec Alain Passard" et de "Quai d’Orsay" signé avec l’expertise d’un coauteur : un pavé de 120 pages indispensable pour mieux comprendre notre monde, tout simplement !

Available in English for the very first time, In the Kitchen with Alain Passard is the first graphic novel to enter the kitchen of a master chef. Over the course of three years, illustrator Christophe Blain trailed acclaimed chef Alain Passard through his kitchens and gardens. With simple yet sublime drawings and thousands of colorful panels, this book gives the reader an inside, uncensored look at the world of Passard, who shocked the food universe in 2001 by removing meat from the menu at his celebrated Paris restaurant, L'Arpege, and dedicating himself to serving vegetables from his own organic farms. This irresistible hardcover combines a portrait of an amazing chef, an inside look at his creative process, and a humorous riff on fine dining culture - plus fifteen recipes for the home kitchen - in one haute cuisine comic book for foodies!

Hercules is the son of Zeus - half man, half god. Socrates is the son of Zeus' dog - half dog, half philosopher. His master fights hard, loves hard and acts on quick impulse with lightning reflexes. So it is up to Socrates to be the brains of the operation, and he is indeed sophisticated enough in thought for the two of them. Readers who love adventure, humour, sex, violence, philosophy and animals will love this series full of incisive wit and exciting action.

Hercules is the son of Zeus, half man, half God. Socrates is the son of Zeus' dog, half dog, half philosopher. His master fights hard, loves hard and acts on quick impulse with lightning reflexes. So it is up to Socrates to be the brain in the operation. And he is indeed perspicacious and sophisticated in thought enough for two. Not that Hercules is a dummy but for the sake of his master's best interests, he must see between the lines and plan. Well, try to plan where Hercules just charges ahead, that is. While Hercules saves the world from monsters, Socrates narrates and weighs the consequences with dry humor and tries to move his master in the right direction... If you love adventure, humor, sex, violence, philosophy and animals, you will love this series full of incisive humor and exciting action by Sfar ("The Rabbi's Cat," "Dungeon") and Blain ("Isaac the Pirate").
