Repères Tome 3 – 2000 dessins essentiels pour comprendre le monde

Repères Tome 3 – 2000 dessins essentiels pour comprendre le monde – Extracting ourselves from the flood of news to give information back its density, focusing on deep currents rather than surface eddies: that’s the goal Le 1 set itself when it was founded in 2014.
Jochen Gerner’s ‘Repères’, the newspaper’s flagship feature, offers readers a dozen chronological or statistical benchmarks each week to help them better understand the major changes taking place in our world. With a graphic language all his own, a sense of synthesis, inventiveness and humour that are always welcome, the cartoonist tackles a wide range of subjects: society, politics, international relations, science… but also history, art and literature. From Wuhan to Kiev, this collection of 128 plates traces the course of three tumultuous years. There are also a number of cultural stops along the way, including quick biographies of the likes of Frida Kahlo, Louise Michel and Franz Kafka.
