Die Ignoranten

Étienne Davodeau, joined by translator Tanja Krämling, brings his signature documentary-comics approach to a single, self-contained volume from Egmont Ehapa. This 2013 release follows the author as he immerses himself in the world of winemaking, chronicling a year in the life of a French vigneron with warmth and patient observation. The book stands as a quiet but vital entry in Davodeau’s oeuvre, demonstrating how the comics medium can capture the rhythms of labor and landscape with the same depth as long-form journalism.
