The third volume in the lavishly illustrated series of wildlife graphic
novels, each following a single central animal through an adventurous
day in their natural environment. Each tale depicts genuine natural
behavior through the dramatic lens of Disney-esque storytelling, like a
nature documentary in illustration.
Both heartwarming and heartbreaking, this volume focuses on a solitary
Lion as it wanders the plains of Africa, handling the daily hunt, and
vicious rivalry, without a Pride of its own. The circle of Life takes
center stage in a world where predator and prey trade places on a
regular basis, and Family is something worth fighting -- and dying --
for. This exciting tale, written by Frederic Brremaud, is told without
narration or dialogue, conveyed entirely through the beautiful
illustrations of Federico Bertolucci.
A beautiful, powerful tale of survival in the animal kingdom that
explores the all-too-identifiable, universal concepts of Life, Courage,
Aging, and ultimately Love.
