Four thousand years ago, Jerusalem was a small, isolated village perched on a ridge line between the Mediterranean and the desert. Today it is a bustling metropolis with almost one million inhabitants, attracting visitors from all over the world. The story of Jerusalem is in many ways the story of the development of Western civilization-religions were born on its streets, conquerors laid siege to it, and great empires clashed over it. Considered the cradle of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-the three major monotheistic religions-and a spiritual capital for more than half of humanity. Tracing its history gives us a unique perspective into the histories of these different religious identities. In this 256-page graphic novel, written by renowned historian Vincent Lemire and illustrated by cartoonist and animator Christophe Gaultier introduce us to the people, priests, craftsmen, architects, and residents who have built the history of Jerusalem over the last five millennia.

AUDREY HEPBURN ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY

Born into privilege, Audrey Hepburn lived an incredible riches-to-rags-to-riches life as her childhood was swiftly upended by World War II. During the course of her incredible career, she was a muse of Givenchy, only the third woman to win the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award), and an activist whose work for UNICEF earned her a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992. Her inimitable charisma, deep empathy, and dedication to her craft built a lasting legacy-one that stands out among her peers during Hollywood's golden era. Her name is synonymous with elegance and a certain kind of movie stardom given the impeccable image she so carefully curated during her lifetime-an image which hid incredible resilience and strength. Author Eileen Hofer and illustrator Christopher Long? peel back the myth of Audrey Hepburn in this graphic novel exploring the life behind her legacy.

FIERCE F D UP FAIRY TALE OF FED UP PRINCESS GN

An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur. Britain's most legendary hero is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust-and suffers from a bad case of boredom. Meanwhile, Arthur's daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father's sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates. But although Ysabelle is brave, she's never ventured outside before-and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur's intentions may not be as noble as they seem...
