L'Arabe du futur - Volume 6: Une jeunesse au Moyen-Orient (1994 - 2011)

Product Information

Sattouf, whose mother is French and father is Syrian, zigzagged his way through childhood, moving between his parents’ respective homelands as well as Libya. Michel Hazanavicius, Academy Award-winning director of The Artist, proclaims “Seriously funny and penetratingly honest, Riad Sattouf tells the epic story of his eccentric and troubled family. That being said, there are horrifying moments of violence and loss of innocence that stick with you.

This stunning memoir, reminiscent of a male Persepolis, was an award-winning bestseller when published in France. Prime Minister Muammar Gaddafi has abolished private property, meaning all unoccupied housing is free for the taking. Somehow, the narrative is both very funny and very sad, though the fact that this book even exists shows that a boy’s artistic gifts were finally permitted to flourish. Il a publié Les Pauvres Aventures de Jérémie, Manuel du puceau, No sex in New York, Pipit Farlouse, Retour au collège, Pascal Brutal, La Vie secrète des jeunes, Les Cahiers d'Esther, le Jeune acteur et L'Arabe du futur.

Yet, Sattouf regularly hears from Muslim readers living in the Middle East and elsewhere who adore his portrayals. Il a réalisé deux longs-métrages : Les Beaux Gosses, en 2009 (César du meilleur premier film), et Jacky au royaume des filles, en 2014.

Lauréat de nombreux prix internationaux (Los Angeles Times Graphic Novel Prize, Prix de l'excellence au Japan Media Arts Festival, Max und Moritz Prize), il est l'un des rares auteurs à avoir remporté le Fauve d'or (meilleur album) au Festival d'Angoulême à deux reprises, en 2010 et 2015. Each scene is boiled down to its essence and yet the details that Sattouf chooses to include, along with nuanced facial expressions speak volumes. On prends le temps de s'attacher aux personnages, de leur donner de la complexité, et de s'identifier à eux.I’m sure Arab of the Future isn’t for everyone but I don’t think I suggested that you give it a longer try. While all of the volumes of L’Arabe du futur are personal, book 6 shows the author at his most vulnerable. Its electronic music and speech bubbles are green; red is applied to television and the speech of a mythical creature in a folktale. Je suis tellement contente d'avoir découvert Riad Sattouf avec L'Arabe Du Futur plutôt qu'avec ses premières publications : Je pense que je les aurais détesté à l'époque et que je n'aurais pas cherché à découvrir ses publications suivantes.

Sattouf's mother, a blonde frenchwoman, is permanently aghast and exhausted by the smallness of her life in Syria and the wretchedness of the lives of women around her.Además, el silencio de la sociedad ante el secuestro de su hermano pequeño pone ya del todo la ascua en la sociedad francesa, con una coda final que vuelve a poner en primer plano el drama de Siria. His parents had divorced and his father, Abel, had kidnapped his youngest brother, Fadi, and fled to Syria.
