Jacquou le croquant #[nn]

A young boy in rough fur clothing pushes through a blizzard alone, clutching a torch-tipped staff that flickers defiantly against the swirling snow — it's a quietly powerful image that captures both vulnerability and determination. Lemoine and Cécile bring the classic French tale of Jacquou le Croquant to the bande dessinée page with this 2015 Vents d'Ouest volume, and the cover's wintry atmosphere promises a story rooted in hardship, resilience, and the wild heart of rural France.
