Carnets d'Orient #6
This volume collects the story arc 'La Guerre fantôme' from the Carnets d'Orient series, published by Casterman in 2002. It continues the historical narrative set in 19th-century Algeria, exploring the complex dynamics of colonialism through the eyes of its characters.
"La guerre fantôme" in Carnets d'Orient #6 offers a poignant, intimate look at the early years of the Algerian conflict through the eyes of Saïd, a young shepherd caught in the turmoil, and Octave, a conflicted parachute captain grappling with the moral weight of his role. Written and illustrated by Jacques Ferrandez, this deeply personal story unfolds with quiet intensity, drawing readers into a war that feels both distant and achingly real.
