Mitterrand - Un jeune homme de droite #[nn]

A striking graphic novel from P. Richelle and F. Rébéna that takes a clear-eyed look at a young François Mitterrand during a charged historical moment. The cover sets a quietly unsettling tone: a well-dressed young man sits at a café table with a newspaper, while two German officers in uniform are seated just behind him, glasses of beer between them — proximity and tension conveyed without a word. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2015, this is the kind of bold biographical comics work that reminds you why the medium is so well suited to exploring the moral complexities of twentieth-century history.
