Описание: Reality and fantasy collide in this "beautiful and reflective tale" (Booklist, starred review) for fans of Counting by 7s and Bridge to Terabithia, about a girl who must save a magical make-believe world in order to save herself.
Things Finley Hart doesn't want to talk about:
-Her parents, who are having problems. (But they pretend like they're not.)
-Being sent to her grandparents' house for the summer.
-Never having met said grandparents.
-Her blue days--when life feels overwhelming, and it's hard to keep her head up. (This happens a lot.)
Finley's only retreat is the Everwood, a forest kingdom that exists in the pages of her notebook. Until she discovers the endless woods behind her grandparents' house and realizes the Everwood is real--and holds more mysteries than she'd ever imagined, including a family of pirates that she isn't allowed to talk to, trees covered in ash, and a strange old wizard living in a house made of bones.
With the help of her cousins, Finley sets out on a mission to save the dying Everwood and uncover its secrets. But as the mysteries pile up and the frightening sadness inside her grows, Finley realizes that if she wants to save the Everwood, she'll first have to save herself.

Описание:

Many years ago, Jacques Tardi was introduced to American audiences with Manhattan, a grim and grimy story of depression, madness and suicide in New York City whose appearance in the premiere issue of RAW magazine was instrumental in defining both that magazine 's virtuoso aesthetic and its dark sensibility. Three decades later, New York Mon Amour collects Manhattan and three other tales of the Big Apple rendered by Tardi with just as much panache and you-are-there detail as Paris or the trenches of World War I in his other books in one spectacular volume.

Aside from Manhattan, the centerpiece of the book is the graphicnovel Cockroach Killer, written by Benjamin Legrand. This violent, surreal conspiracy thriller, starring a hapless exterminator namedWalter, features a striking two-color black-and-red technique uniquein Tardi 's oeuvre, and remains one of the cartoonist 's most startling, confounding works. New York Mon Amour is rounded off with two shortstories written by Dominique Grange: It 's So Hard (starring JohnLennon but not that John Lennon and never before published inEnglish) and The Killing of Hung (a story of revenge andredemption).

New York Mon Amour is a crucial and unique addition to Fantagraphics acclaimed Tardi collection.
