Set against the bleak, muted palette of the Western Front in February 1916, this fifth volume of Corbeyran and Le Roux's acclaimed World War I series gathers a weary group of French soldiers huddled around a modest pot, their greatcoats and steel helmets marking the hardship of wartime life in vivid detail. Le Roux's cover art captures the quiet, human moments between the fighting — men seeking warmth and solidarity amid the cold and uncertainty of the trenches. "Le colosse d'ébène" promises another deeply grounded chapter in this powerful chronicle of the Great War.
