Résumé

Former shipping company clerk turned adventurer Theodore Poussin arrives on the oyster farming island of Long Andju in Malaysia looking for a mysterious woman who has gone missing. She disappeared during a bloody coup d'etat in which her father lost control of the land. A contaminated oyster reef has rendered the last pearl harvest worthless, and tensions are rising on the small island, as pirates, sailors, assassins, rajahs, foreign businessmen, diplomats, and amorous youths all scheme to get what they want, be it power, gold, pearls, or the affection of their heart's desire. The mysterious Mr. November is once again along for the ride, in a tale dripping with the mood and humidity of its tropical colonial setting.

Auteur

  • Le Gall (Illustré par)

    Frank Le Gall was born in Rouen in 1959. At 16, he started work on a humoristic series for an environmentalist magazine, and soon thereafter began contributing to "Spirou" magazine. It was the start of a long and fruitful career, marked by prolific creation and frequent travels, either in person or via his work. It was this penchant for exploration that led to the birth, in 1984, of one of his most well-known and beloved series, "Théodore Poussin" (Dupuis, Europe Comics in English). With "Poussin," says the author, "I only opted for 1920s Asia so I could lie easily. I don't want an authentic story, only a credible one." It seems to have been a successful approach, as the third volume of the series, "Marie Vérité" ("Mary Verity") won the Prix du Meilleur Album in Angoulême in 1989.
