The Duel
The colorful and poetic journey of a little girl who discovers a parallel world at the heart of the industrial metropolis she lives in.
Pachyderme (SelfMadeHero)
"Our heroine, Carice, is visiting her husband - she has something important to tell him. He's a diplomat, who's lying in hospital following a car accident. Stuck in a traffic jam on her way to the hospital, she abandons her car and sets off on foot on a journey that turns into a surreal trip"--From publisher's web site.
Sandcastle
It's a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But this utopia hides a dark secret. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everybody is growing older--every half hour--and there doesn't seem to be any way out of the cove. Levy's dramatic storytelling works seamlessly with Peeters's sinister art to create a profoundly disturbing and fantastical mystery. Praise for Sandcastle "Begins like a murder mystery, continues like an episode of The Twilight Zone, and finishes with a kind of existentialism that wouldn't be out of place in a Von Trier film." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Sandcastle is a fast 112-page read you won't be able to put down." --Cleveland.com "Peeters and L vy convey some profound, if profoundly unsubtle, truths about the human condition. Weighty stuff, expertly told." --The Comics Bulletin
Lupus
Lupus Lablennorre is a man on the run. Like a cosmic Odysseus, he wanders from planet to planet, haunted by his past and orbiting around a woman. It starts as a fishing trip with his ex-military pal Tony. Their lifelong friendship has started to feel different lately, and not just because of the drugs. Picking up Sanaa, a wealthy and mysterious runaway, only complicates the situation. When tragedy strikes and they’re forced to flee, new worlds await with many ways to disappear. But Lupus will find that the tendrils of friendship, love, and family are not so easily severed. Armed with astonishingly expressive brushwork and a dreamy, intimate narrative, Frederick Peeters drifts on the solar winds to a new understanding of memory, guilt, isolation, and connection.
Derrida
This biography of Jacques Derrida (1930–2004) tells the story of a Jewish boy from Algiers, excluded from school at the age of twelve, who went on to become the most widely translated French philosopher in the world – a vulnerable, tormented man who, throughout his life, continued to see himself as unwelcome in the French university system. We are plunged into the different worlds in which Derrida lived and worked: pre-independence Algeria, the microcosm of the École Normale Supérieure, the cluster of structuralist thinkers, and the turbulent events of 1968 and after. We meet the remarkable series of leading writers and philosophers with whom Derrida struck up a friendship: Louis Althu...

Tales from a Famished Land
This true-fiction by Edward E. Hunt is a story of young Americans who played a part in Belgian history when the country entered the world war. It is full of sweet romance, gallant adventure, grotesque comedy, and grim tragedy. These tales are not exactly the truth, but they are not fiction, they are both. The work tries to explain the state of mind and the atmosphere in which History whether true or fiction was made. The author describes the atmosphere behind long lines of barbed wire and bayonets, behind waves of poisoned gas, in a starving land where ten million heroic people, both French and Belgians, silently and steadily fought to keep their self-respect, their sanity, and their bravery. Contents Include: Saint Dympna's Miracle Love in a Barge The Odyssey of Mr. Solslog Figures of the Dance The Saviour of Mont César Ghosts The Deserter The Glory of Tinarloo A Flemish Fancy The Swallows of Diest Pensioners Doña Quixote In the Street of the Spy The White Island—A Story of the Dardanelles
