1967. Franz, a German soldier, returns to France to show his wife around Basque country. There, in the inn where he lived during the war 25 years earlier, he stumbles upon Léo! The unexpected encounter causes deeply-buried memories to resurface in the French woman's mind. During the Second World War, Léo was a waitress in the family inn, which had been requisitioned by German officers. She fell in love with Felix, a friend and fellow soldier of Franz. Although she wore the mask of indifference towards the occupier, Léo had a passionate affair with Felix. Mayana Itoïz's first graphic novel tells us with tenderness and sensitivity a very personal story, that of her grandmother who fell in love with a German soldier during the Second World War.
John M. Del Vecchio’s searing bestseller The 13th Valley was praised as one of the most powerful works of literature to emerge from the Viet Nam experience. Now back in print comes an even more stunning achievement: For the Sake of All Living Things. In this unflinching and unforgettable epic saga, Del Vecchio re-creates the violence and horror of Viet Nam’s parallel tragedy—the Cambodian holocaust—as seen through the eyes of a Cambodian family and the American adviser whose fate becomes irrevocable linked with theirs. A sweeping tale of savagery and survival that pits parents and children against both the North Vietnamese invaders and the unprecedented ferocity of the Khmer Rouge, For the Sake of All Living Things is an unrelenting, ultimately inspiring chronicle of conflict and redemption in the killing fields.
