Publisher Description

Life's choices and what remains in the end are universal themes. Where is life's value? In the noise and fury, or in the silence and contemplation? In the struggles or in the peace?William chose silence 25 years ago by joining the Carthusian religious order. When an inheritance forces him to leave the monastery for Paris, he must master a whole new world and question certainties forged long ago. He meets Mery, a young woman whose days are numbered due to an incurable illness and who is resolutely decided on making the most of the time she has left. This, in turn, will force William to face new questions and complicate his choices in a powerful story that truly addresses the meaning of life.

Author Biography

Born in 1967 in Switzerland, Zep--his real name is Philippe Chappuis--derives his pen name from a fanzine that he created at age 12 when he was a fan of Led Zeppelin. Drawing and inventing stories from a tender age, he later enrolled in the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Geneva. In 1992, Zep laid down some of his childhood memories in a sketchbook, an act giving birth to the character Titeuf who would become the best-known little boy in French comics. Today, Titeuf (translated in English as "Tootuff") has become a publishing phenomenon, popular amongst children and their parents, with 13 books published and printed in millions of copies, and a cartoon series broadcast since 2001 in 240 countries and in 35 languages. He is eminently the author of Le Guide du zizi sexuel (text by Hel ne Bruller), a humorous practical guide on sexuality for children and their parents, now a must-have for families (2 million copies sold). In 2007, the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris inaugurated an exhibition adapting Le Guide du zizi sexuel that attracted record-breaking crowds (350,000 visitors) before travelling to Switzerland and Belgium. In 2004, Zep won the Grand Prix d'Angoulame for his body of work. This is the most prestigious prize for European comic book writers.
