La sagesse des Pères du désert #[nn]

A charming collaboration from Camille W. de Prévaux and Jean Trolley, this Artège volume brings the wisdom of the Desert Fathers to life through illustrated maxims and spiritual gems. The cover sets the tone beautifully: a grizzled, barefoot hermit seated in the sand clutching a wooden staff faces a younger robed monk who levitates serenely with hands clasped in prayer, while a small, wide-eyed sheep stands curiously between them. It's a wonderfully warm and gently humorous invitation into ancient contemplative tradition, rendered in clean, expressive line art that makes 2021 feel like exactly the right moment for this kind of thoughtful, lighthearted spirituality.
