Rêves sur le toit du monde #[nn]

A young footballer in a red-and-blue kit takes center stage on this bright, inviting cover, surrounded by a circular medallion of five portrait faces set against swirling clouds and a full moon — a visual that blends the energy of the beautiful game with the rich decorative spirit of Tibetan and Chinese art. Created by Michael M. Nybrandt and Thomas E. Mikkelsen, and graced with a preface by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this 2018 French-language graphic novel from Des ronds dans l'O promises something genuinely out of the ordinary. Rêves sur le toit du monde — "Dreams on the Roof of the World" — announces itself as a story where sport and something much larger than sport intersect.
