A graphic novel biography of actor, humanitarian, and style icon Audrey Hepburn-best known for Breakfast at Tiffany's and one of the most enduring and beloved celebrities of the 20th century Author Eileen Hofer and illustrator Christopher Longé peel back the myth of Audrey Hepburn in this graphic novel exploring the life behind her legacy. From the trauma of abandonment and war to her dizzying rise to stardom and her commitment to charity work in her retirement, Hofer and Christopher show Hepburn as she was-and how she came by the strength and grace that made her so much more than a movie star. Born into privilege, Audrey Hepburn lived an incredible riches-to-rags-to-riches life as her childhood was swiftly upended by World War II. During the course of her incredible career, she was a muse of Givenchy, only the third woman to win the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award), and an activist whose work for UNICEF earned her a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992. Her inimitable charisma, deep empathy, and dedication to her craft built a lasting legacy-one that stands out among her peers during Hollywood's golden era. Decades later, a cottage industry of books about how best to emulate her, a robot named Sophia that is based on her, and even a digital likeness (which was featured in an ad for Galaxy chocolate), all speak to her enduring legacy. Hepburn's skill as a performer and her magnetism won her generations of fans worldwide. Her name is synonymous with elegance and a certain kind of movie stardom given the impeccable image she so carefully curated during her lifetime-an image which hid incredible resilience and strength.

An exhilarating manga following the journey taken by a boy and his migrating village across a frigid post-apocalyptic setting riddled with folkloric monsters There once was a land where humans and monsters both lived. The sun protected the humans during the day, but at night the monsters were on the prowl. On the day that the sun disappeared forever behind the clouds, the terrifying monsters, no longer warded off by the sunlight, hunted the humans in the day and the night. For almost thirty years, Saber and his village were cut off from the rest of the world. They have no choice but to communicate with each other using sign language to avoid the monsters, who can track them by sound and especially by voice. However, the village encounters trouble when a young woman named Lune arrives in the village. She tells them that there is a better way to fight monsters-by becoming monsters themselves. This is only the beginning of a harrowing and thrilling adventure. The villagers leave everything behind, traversing the looming mountains that surround them to find other humans who can help them. In order to escape a life devoid of peace, it is up to Lune and the villagers to summon something they have long forgotten-the courage to live.

This book is a continuation of my STORIES AND THOUGHTS I, and as such contains 25 Reflections. The oldest was put on paper in 1991 and the latest in 2023. I have dedicated the book TO AN UNNAMED PERSON, and obviously had a specific person in mind when I wrote it in 1990, but when I read it today I perceive that as irrelevant. In my opinion, it should remain an unnamed person. Perhaps for you, when you read the book, it may give you associations, and perhaps you will also, in your thoughts, let it remain unnamed. The coloured illustrations are from my own collection of geometric paintings, original size 60x60 cm.
