résumé
From master illustrator and storyteller Chabouté comes his internationally bestselling graphic novel Alone, featuring stunning black ink visuals—now available to American audiences for the first time!
Every week, a boat bring supplies and leaves it on a tiny lighthouse island, only to have them later consumed by a unseen figure—a figure who seems mythological in his continual absence.
And who is this person, living fifty years on that rock? Why does he never leave? What keeps him isolated at the lighthouse? What is it like to be that alone in one’s mind, consumed with anxiety about the world?
Filled with stunning visuals of a rich interior life, Alone is Chabouté’s masterpiece, a tale where tenderness, despair, and humor intertwine in the life of one lonely man, teaching us something about the human experience and the world as a whole.
