The October Revolution in Russia exudes hope in the hearts ofthe oppressed and draws in Matteo, the son of a Spanish anarchist. Butfirst he stops in Collioure to visit his mother. That same evening he sees hisbeloved Juliet for a brief but memorable moment, and the next day with hisfather's friend Gervasio, Matteo departs for Petrograd with camera inhand to document the advent of the more just and honorable world of his ideals.But once there, he learns that those ideals may very well become victim of thedisputes and differences between the various factions leading the revolution.It's another tourdeforce from writer/artist JeanPierre Gibrat, telling theremarkable story of a century rich in great events and human tragedies. By the creator of the awardwinning Flight ofthe Raven.
