The darkly comic musings of a deeply thoughtful rodent—the perfect gift for pet lovers and anguished existentialists of all ages. Edward is a hamster—yet he contains multitudes. Trapped in a cage with a wheel that taunts him with its meaninglessness, Edward records the existential ennui that is the sum of his short life. His diary is an extraordinary work, filled with profound meditations on the nature of captivity, the emptiness of life, and the irrational will to live. This dark, pithy, irresistibly witty diary, with illustrations by acclaimed artist Miriam Elia, makes the perfect gift for anyone on your holiday list. It won’t take long before readers recognize that Edward is not just a hamster—he is a state of mind.

Piggy goes to Uni is the story of a precocious young pig, and his rise to the forefront of the Anti-Piggest socialist Justice Movement. When he leaves his rural community for Central State University, he learns of the terrible legacy of Pig-Imperialism, and that words and ideas can be just as violent as actual acts of genocide. With the help of his comrades, Piggy elects to become a hero of the oppressed, and to ban anyone from saying anything that might hurt someone's feelings. And yet, in creating a world of absolute kindness, he soon finds himself at the mercy of his own extremist rhetoric.

Après Journal d'Edward, hamster nihiliste, Myriam et Ezra Elia frappent encore, cette fois-ci avec une trilogie inspirée des "Ladybirds Grade Reader" - ces petits albums éducatifs qui ont bercé plusieurs générations outre-Manche. La "naïveté" et l'aspect vintage des illustrations et de la mise en page contrastent délicieusement avec l'humour noir distillé par le texte : vous tenez entre vos mains des ouvrages inclassables où se croisent l'esprit des Monty Python et les aventures de Martine dans une version revisitée à la sauce punk.Vous souhaitez ouvrir l'imagination de vos enfants à la profondeur et à la beauté de l'art ? Vous êtes désireux de leur apporter un enseignement personnalisé, de qualité et fondé sur des critères objectifs ? Vous aimeriez leur expliquer en quoi l'espace public permet de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de la société qui est la nôtre ?Ces trois volumes (La visite au musée, La sortie en ville, L'école à la maison) vous permettront de passer de délicieux moments en famille, en joignant l'utile à l'agréable. Style décapant et absurdité garantis !
