Riassunto

In an equinox, day is as long as night as if the world found perfect equilibrium between shadow and light, fleeting like the stakes of our human destinies. Segmented into four tableaux - one for each season - unrelated people from all social backgrounds cross paths with other solitudes, weaving in and out of one another's lives, all seeking their own equilibrium and captivated and tormented by the enigmatic meaning of life. Every season has its visual identity and its individual voice commencing with doubtful Autumn and culminating in hopeful Summer and, possibly, with an answer. Equinoxes is a unique and ground-breaking work of rare intensity and narrative sensibility by a rising bestselling star of European comics.

Recensione:

"Cyril Pedrosa's Equinoxes is an impressive feast of a book." --Scott McCloud, author, Understanding Comics

"Pedrosa deploys a dazzling variety of illustrative techniques within each season which affect the level of intimacy we see in front of us."--Page 45

"The second of Pedrosa's books to be given an English translation, Equinoxes promises to be another work of watercoloured gorgeousness." --The Guardian
