Le Pays des trois sourires #[nn]
In "Le pays des trois sourires," Maki and Sekelle embark on a haunting journey to the edge of the world, driven by the devastation of repeated earthquakes that have torn their village apart. Written and illustrated by Lewis Trondheim, this 1997 story from L'Association blends quiet melancholy with surreal mystery as the two travelers face the enigmatic figure at the end of their path—though what awaits them is far from what they imagined. The stark, expressive artwork by Trondheim, present in both interior and cover, captures the journey’s weight with a restrained yet deeply evocative hand.
