The third volume in the lavishly illustrated series of wildlife graphic
novels, each following a single central animal through an adventurous day in
their natural environment. Each tale depicts genuine natural behavior through
the dramatic lens of Disney-esque storytelling, like a nature documentary in
illustration. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking, this volume focuses
on a solitary Lion as it wanders the plains of Africa, handling the daily hunt,
and vicious rivalry, without a Pride of its own. The circle of Life takes center
stage in a world where predator and prey trade places on a regular basis, and
Family is something worth fighting -- and dying -- for. This exciting tale,
written by Frederic Brremaud, is told without narration or dialogue, conveyed
entirely through the beautiful illustrations of Federico Bertolucci.A
beautiful, powerful tale of survival in the animal kingdom that explores the
all-too-identifiable, universal concepts of Life, Courage, Aging, and ultimately
Love.
