By: CYRESSA With detailed illustrations and a poignant narration, this graphic adaptation offers a new way to discover a timeless love story and its dilemmas that have moved millions of readers around the world. A classic revisited in images The original novel, published in 1994, transported its readers to the island of Kefalonia in Greece during World War II, exploring the complex links between the island's inhabitants and the Italian and German soldiers. This comic strip preserves all the emotion and depth of the original story while offering a new visual dimension. "Adapting a novel so rich in emotion and detail was an exciting challenge. I hope to have captured the soul of the original work through the visuals, while offering readers a new way to experience this story in its historical context," explains Arnaud Ribadeau Dumas. A four-handed creation This unique collaboration between Louis de Bernières and Arnaud Ribadeau Dumas combines the author's powerful literary style with the narrative and graphic talent of the French illustrator. Each page immerses the reader in faithful and vibrant landscapes, poignant scenes and beautifully illustrated moments of tenderness. About the authors Louis de Bernières is a British novelist born on December 8, 1954 in London. He studied at the University of Manchester, Leicester and London, obtaining a degree in philosophy. After working as a teacher, he devoted himself to writing full-time. His fame exploded with the novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin (1994). Louis de Bernières is known for his rich characters, his lively historical narratives and his explorations of the themes of love, war and the human condition. He is considered one of the most eminent contemporary British authors. Arnaud Ribadeau Dumas, a French painter, was a student of the Czech painter Jaro Hilbert, who passed on to him a taste for the precision of drawing, the subtlety of shadows and the science of volumes. A lover of Cephalonia, he set up his studio there so that the landscapes and lights of the island could nourish his inspiration. For Captain Corelli's Mandolin, his first illustrated book, Arnaud carried out meticulous work of historical research to faithfully reproduce the landscapes and buildings of the island during the Second World War and before the earthquake that devastated it.
