Hubert

Bragante, also known as the Firstborn, has grown elderly and weak, so she decides to reveal the truth about her past to her granddaughter. She had a passion for books, and very early on felt the anguish of childbirth. Her elder status means she is responsible for educating the last-born, but she refuses to shield the child from the monstrosities that her father, the king, is known for. It is through unrelenting cunning that she might someday survive to take the throne. Exploring the origins of the Ogre Gods fantasy universe, this latest (and final) volume in the series introduces Bragante, known as the Firstborn among the giants, and the last to survive childbirth to the increasingly larger next generation. She has witnessed the evolution of her family and their increasing brutality, and vows to not let their wickedness pass on to the most recent "last born". Her tale is full of woe and intrigue, as well as strength, cunning, and conviction... This internationally celebrated series of dark fantasy tales have been described as Game of Thrones in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, presented as if a Disney animated feature.

In Renaissance Italy, Bianca, a young lady from a good family, is of marriage age. Her parents find her a fiancé to their liking: Giovanni, a rich merchant, young and pleasant. The wedding looks set to go smoothly even though Bianca can't hide her disappointment at having to marry a man she knows nothing about. But before the marriage, she learns the secret held and bequeathed by the women of her family for generations: a "man's skin"! By donning it, Bianca becomes "Lorenzo" and enjoys all the attributes of a young man of stunning beauty. She can now visit the world of men incognito and get to know her fiancé in his natural environment. In her male skin, Bianca frees herself from the limits imposed on women and discovers love and sexuality. The moral of the Renaissance then acts as a mirror to that of our century and poses several questions: why should women have a different sexuality from that of men? Why should their pleasure and freedom be the object of contempt and coercion? Finally, how can morality be the instrument of both severe and unconscious domination? Tackling universal themes such as gender, sexuality, LGBTQ+, compassion, religion, and morality through a captivating and subtle fable, Hubert and Zanzim brilliantly question our relationship to gender and sexuality... but not only that. By mixing religion and sex, morality and humor, nobility and outspokenness, A Man's Skin invites us both to the liberation of morals and to the mad and noble quest for love. This edition includes a lesson plan and discussion guide. Translated by Ivanka Hahnenberger.

A direct continuation of PETIT and HALF-BLOOD, this third book in the series of standalone tales explores another part of the dark, fairy tale world created by author Hubert and illustrator Bertrand Gatignol, this time focusing on those humans who live outside the kingdom amidst the dangerous surrounding wilderness. Lours is an aging leader of a passionate rebel clan who seeks to defend their traditions and territory from those who would take it from them, including the Chamberlain of the nearby kingdom and the giant Ogre Gods who rule above them. When he comes across a fleeing giant barely taller than a bear, he brings the wounded curiosity into their camp and nurses him back to health with plans that could help them define a new order. But this tiny giant has an agenda of his own -- young Petit has the wellbeing of his human love at the forefront of his priorities, and she has become an unwitting pawn in the Chamberlain's wicked plans... This internationally celebrated series of dark fantasy tales have been described as Game of Thrones in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, presented as if a Disney animated feature.
