Le Cheval d'Orgueil

In this historical graphic novel from Soleil, launched in 2015, writer and artist adapt the acclaimed memoir Le Cheval d'Orgueil by Pierre-Jakez Hélias, capturing the early 20th-century life of a peasant boy in rural Brittany. Though the series currently stands at a single issue, it brings the celebrated French text to a visual medium, preserving the region's language, traditions, and hardscrabble dignity. The project is most associated with its creative team, who translate Hélias's poignant, earthy prose into detailed, evocative panels. It matters as a faithful comic adaptation of a major work of Breton cultural memory, bridging literary heritage and sequential art.
