Description
The book that fans of the graphic novel have been eagerly awaiting for seven years. After the phenomenal success of his work Pod dekou, Craig Thompson worked for a long time on his masterpiece, a nearly seven-hundred-page allegory in the style of Arabian tales and Islamic stories. It takes place in a fictional world that is a harsher and more contemporary version of A Thousand and One Nights, depicting the life stories of Dodola and Zam, two escaped child slaves. They undergo many transformations and overcome numerous obstacles that stand in the way of their love and reunion. Habíbí is a love story with numerous overlaps, a parable about the role of man in nature, a testimony to the differences between the developed and developing worlds, a depiction of the shared cultural heritage of Christianity and Islam, and last but not least, an incredible feast of mature storytelling and a rich, ornately decorated artistic style that sharply distinguishes the author from the minimalism that otherwise overwhelmingly prevails in the realm of "graphic novels for adults."
