Le Printemps refleurira #2

The cover of this Futuropolis volume sets a tense, somber tone immediately: a bound figure kneels on railway tracks while a uniformed soldier levels a pistol at close range, and a crowd of people moves grimly in the background beneath a stark yellow sky. The scattered drops of red on the ground and the desperate reach of a companion figure add to the weight of the scene. Johanna — Le Printemps refleurira, second livre, arrives from Futuropolis in 2010 as a compelling continuation of what promises to be a deeply human story set against the machinery of historical violence.
