Description
Third in a series, this volume focuses on a solitary Lion as it wanders the plains of Africa, handling the daily hunt, and vicious rivalry, without a Pride of its own. The circle of Life takes center stage in a world where predator and prey trade places on a regular basis, and Family is something worth fighting -- and dying -- for. This tale, written by Frederic Brremaud, is told without narration or dialogue, conveyed entirely through the illustrations of Federico Bertolucci.

Brutal, engrossing and tender all at once. I will highly recommend this series to virtually anyone, except maybe those with a very fragile disposition to vividly depicted animal-on-animal violence.

The third volume in the Love series of graphic novels, The Lion (I have not yet read the first, The Tiger, or second, The Fox), follows what I understand to be the same format as previous volumes: what we are silently presented is a day in the life of a lion, one who has no pride of his own and who

is trying to find his way in the jungle that day. Presented with no text whatsoever, Brrémaud's writing and Bertolucci's illustrations are both to-the-point and poignant, showing what could happen in the jungle at any point in a day, and that it is not always pretty in nature.I'll be looking for the rest of the volumes in this series.
