![]() A graphic memoir and sketchbook, with hand-drawn maps Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. With wit, a playful sense of humor, and the colored pencils of his kit, Florent Chavouet sets aside the question of urban ugliness or beauty and captures the Japanese essence of a great city. Realistically rendered city views or posters of pop stars contrast with cartoon sketches of iconic objects or droll vignettes, like a housewife walking her pet pig and a Godzilla statue in a local park. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures, a gritty, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives. ![]() Each day he would set forth, with a pouch full of colored pencils and a sketchpad, to visit different neighborhoods. ![]() Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. ![]() ![]() ![]() That night, he happily arrives back in Algiers. During the vigil, he drinks coffee and smokes cigarettes next to the coffin, showing his indifference to his mother’s death. ![]() Meursault is asked if he wants to see his mother who is sealed in the coffin. “The curious feeling the son has for his mother constitutes all his sensibility.” An aspect that is often lost in translation is that he uses the child’s word “Maman”, literally “Mommy”, instead of the more adult “Mother”. ![]() Right from the start, we can see Meursault’s emotional indifference and detached personality. Faithfully yours.” That doesn’t mean anything. I got a telegram from the home: “Mother deceased. Meursault, an indifferent French Algerian, is the protagonist of The Stranger, to whom the novel’s title refers. Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed “the nakedness of man faced with the absurd.” The Stranger has had a profound impact on millions of readers. Though it is a work of fiction, it is often cited as an example of Camus’ philosophy of Absurdism. L’Étranger, The Stranger or The Outsider, is a 1942 novel by French author Albert Camus. ![]() ![]() Attention Whore: Erika, at least toward Koki.Erika was originally engaged to Koki's older brother Yoji, but after Yoji disappeared, she and Koki became engaged instead.

("Nowadays!") is a manga by Yuu Watase. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This biography works best as a brief introduction for general readers those familiar with the general history of science (or, for that matter, those who've read Neal Stephenson's vastly more nuanced if fictional portrayal of Newton in his Baroque Cycle) will find little that isn't familiar. "Newton was a loner pure and simple, secure in the knowledge that he was without peers when it came to almost all matters cerebral," Christianson writes. The relatively simple prose betrays its origins, but the book itself gives a solid and accessible introduction to the life and work of Newton (1642–1727), from his early days at Cambridge to his time as a member of Parliament in the critical year of 1689, after King James II fled to France, and the political battles that surrounded Newton's later work as master of the mint. In fact, this volume is more or less identical to the briefer one, published by Oxford in 1996 as part of its young adult Portraits in Science series.

The French philosopher Simone Weil’s two visits to Italy in 19 were among the happiest experiences of her life. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when, in secret defiance of the British government, she travelled to India, she returned a revolutionary.
