KlappentextIn the Sarboucane sea, Balbuzar the pirate reigns supreme. He attacks, plunders, sinks, and ransoms everything that comes within his reach. Savage, cruel, formidable, certainly, Balbuzar is; but also with a certain bonhomie, anda great sense of justice. He is in harmony with the sea, the islands, the wind, the rocks. Around him, birds, always. Men, women, children...they all love him.For he is free as the air.
But now the Empress Pépita XIII isworried about her state of affairs, and Balbuzar's constant plundering.She sends against him her best officer, the Commodore, at the head of an armada.He represents force, order, law. Arrogant, domineering, relentless. And sure tobe the one who will clean the Sarboucane sea.
>The struggle, however, is unequal, for theCommodore has immense resources, an army behind him and the power of theempire.He's built a gigantic ship that will surely sweep away the piratesand their black-flag flotilla. Balbuzar's fate seems certain.
Willthe outlaw will be crushed by the enormity of the adversary? Cooked in theimperial pot? Or will the cunning pirate will find the rift in themonster's breastplate? Will he will defeat his monstrous foe, like Davidblasting Goliath?
Balbuzar is the story of a confrontation between twoworlds, that of royalty and that of piracy, between conformity and diversity.Gérard Moncombe's text deftly balances action, humor and poetry, while artist Frédéric Pillot's stunning, gorgeously detailedillustrations help paint this rousing, unforgettable tale. One that you'llwant to come back to again and again...
A fable about freedom, aboutresistance, about power. And an ode to nature.
