Derborence: A graphic novel Derborence is the story of a mountain that collapses on a mountain pasture. It is also the story of grieving villagers who think they see a ghost, of a man who survives the thought and loses his mind, and of a woman who carries life and refuses to lose hope. A tragic storyline, engaging characters and a rugged mountain setting: Charles Ferdinand Ramuz's famous book lends itself to illustration. It has been chosen to launch Helvetiq's new collection: a triptych of graphic novels based on the work of the great French-speaking writer. In adapting and illustrating Derborence, Fabian Menor has endeavored to bring out the links that unite the characters. He chose the brush and Indian ink to visually render the particular atmosphere of the high mountains. A classic of literature put into images. A moving story. Beautiful mountain landscapes. A Swiss novel illustrated by a Swiss artist.
