Jacques Ferrandez

    December 12, 1955

    Though born in Algiers, Jacques Ferrandez's artistic journey began in Nice, France, where his family settled shortly after his birth. Algeria remains a significant and recurring theme throughout his evocative body of work. Following six years of dedicated study at the National School of Decorative Arts, he forged a path in the world of comics, bringing his unique perspective to the medium.

    • Dieser Roman von Albert Camus präsentiert in der Bearbeitung des Zeichners Jacques Ferrandez strahlende Aquarellmalereien, die auf elegante Weise jene von der Hitze flirrenden Landstriche wiedergeben, in denen sich das Drama abspielt Der introvertierte Meursault hat einen Menschen getötet und soll zum Tode verurteilt werden. Aber was wiegt für das Gericht schwerer? Der Mord oder die Gleichgültigkeit des Angeklagten, die dieser seit der Beerdingung seiner Mutter an den Tag legt?

      Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.
