In April, surgeon and professor of medical history Jean-Noël Fabiani stitches together Medicine: A Graphic History, a fast-paced and rigorously detailed journey through the most significant and intriguing episodes from the history of medicine.

The same month, Altitude, Jean-Marc Rochette’s autobiography charting his early years as both a climber and an artist is released, highlighting the exhilaration and terror invoked by confronting nature’s raw beauty.

In The Summer of Her Life, released in May, Thomas Von Steinaecker and Barbara Yelin create a subtle and moving story about an elderly woman looking back on her adolescence, her passion for astrophysics, and a profound choice between love and a career abroad.

Oenophile Benoist Simmat and artist Daniel Casanave also launch Wine: A Graphic History in May, a delectable, full-bodied exploration of the innovations that have accompanied the ancient art and science of wine, from oak-barrel ageing to the invention of the bottle.
