ABLAZE is spotlighting some of the incredible creatives under our banner with specially priced collections of their extraordinary works! With our WILFRID LUPANO collection- receive three hardcover volumes that speak to the writer's varied range and skill in reflecting both humor and human experience. In THE LIBRARY MULE OF CORDOBA: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus- after a great period of peace and learning- faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen- the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash. The night before the biggest bonfire ever- the head librarian- a chubby eunuch named Tarid- gathers up all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in the hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge. In THE OLD GEEZERS (VOL. 1-2): Lupano tells the story of three septuagenarians who have been friends since childhood: Antoine- Emile- and Pierrot. They have each taken different paths in life- made different choices- and started (or not) their own families. The series moves back and forth between the 50s and the present day- telling the tragic-comic tale of our time- with all of its social- political- and cultural upheavals!
