Histórias

1. The most acclaimed comic book in Portugal in recent years arrives in Brazil in a luxurious edition! The life of Julien Dubois, a highly successful pianist, is intertwined with the history of 20th century Europe. Disenchanted and misanthropic, he lives his retirement in an old mansion, in the company of a cat and a housekeeper, until, one day, a visit from a young journalist prompts him to tell his true story. On the walls of the house, impregnated with cigarette smoke and old memories, resonates the confession of a life marked by rivalry and regret; a surprising saga starring child prodigies and bitter old men, beautiful dancers and demonic producers, Nazi commanders, caring nuns and animals that save lives. This beautiful and ambitious creation by the duo of Portuguese scriptwriter Filipe Melo and Argentinean artist Juan Cavia, authors of The Vampires and The Incredible Adventures of Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy, is a dazzling graphic symphony that has been winning the hearts of readers in every country where it is published, and has been eagerly awaited by Brazilians since it was launched in Portugal. The Pipoca & Nanquim edition has 324 color pages on 90g offset paper, a hardcover with localized varnish, a round spine and a fabric marker ribbon. -- Translated from publisher's website.
