La bande dessinée
'La bande
dessinée' is a genre of comics peculiar to France and Belgium, which has
spread to mainland Europe. The format is very different from the Japanese manga
and the American comic book: they are large illustrated books of 24cm x 32cm,
with a hard cover, generally in full color (unless black and white is an
aesthetic choice, as with the Corto Maltese series, for example).
La parution n'est pas aussi
regulière que pour les mangas ou les comic books. Certains tomes mettent plus
d'un an à paraitre parfois, ce qui peut être du à la complexité de l'art, au
nombre de pages, à des changements de scripts ou à d'autres projets des
artistes ou des auteurs !
The publication of books is not as regular as manga or comic books. Some books take over a year to appear sometimes, which can be due to the complexity of the art, the number of pages, changes in scripts or other projects of the artists or authors!
As with other
literary formats, comics embrace all genres: fiction and reality, history,
science fiction, fantasy, humor or even suspense... The potential is endless.
Generally, these comics are published in French, and only the most popular are
translated into other languages (Tintin or Asterix, for example). However, some
comics called "silent comics" have no text and the story is fully
described in pictures, which makes them accessible to everyone.
Ma bande dessinée préferée
n'est malheureusement pas traduite ! Il s'agit d'une saga historique,
"Sambre", realisée par l'auteur belge Yslaire. La parution de cette
Saga a commencé dans les années 80, et le dernier tome devait sortir le 6
janvier 2021, mais malheureusement la sortie a été repoussée ! J'ai hâte de
mettre la main sur ce dernier tome.
My favorite
comic is unfortunately not translated! This is a historical saga,
"Sambre", directed by the Belgian author Yslaire. The publication of
this Saga began in the 1980s, and the last volume was due out on January 6th,
2021, but unfortunately the release has been postponed! I can't wait to get my
hands on this latest book.
N'hésitez pas à me demander
si vous voulez des recommendations en bandes dessinées ! À bientôt dans une
prochaine leçon !
