L'année du Lièvre #1

Created by Tian, this 2011 Gallimard release opens the L'année du Lièvre series with "Au revoir Phnom Penh" — a title that immediately signals a city in the midst of upheaval. The cover depicts a chaotic street scene: a woman clutching a child pushes urgently through a crowd as armed soldiers and military vehicles fill the road behind them, smoke rising over the rooftops of Phnom Penh. It's a striking, humanely drawn image that sets a tone of personal crisis against a backdrop of historical turmoil.
