On the History Trail with Ariane & Nino - Volume 1 - Albert Einstein - Genius Physicist

Fabrice Erre, born in 1973 in Perpignan, is an author and teacher of comics, as well as an accomplished historian. Through his comics, he seeks above all to parody human behavior, teasing out our little personal weaknesses and our vulnerability to manipulation by the masses. Erre's work includes "Démonax" (2006) and "La Mécanique de l'angoisse" (2011) with publisher Six Pieds sous Terre, and "Z comme Don Diego" (2012) with Dargaud, followed by the hit series "Une année au lycée" (2014), and the outrageously funny - and simply outrageous - collection of shorts, "Guide sublime" (2015).
Most recently, putting his history background to good use, Erre has teamed up with artist Sylvain Savoia to create the series "Le fil de l'histoire" (Dupuis; "On the History Trail, " Europe Comics), set on bringing the past to vivid life for younger readers. Born in 1969, Sylvain Savoia and Jean-David Morvan both grew up in Reims, and discovered comic books together through the fanzine Hors Gabarit.
In 1989, they both registered at the Saint-Luc art school in Brussels. Savoia began to work with Zygus magazine and was also published in Jet, a monthly publication founded by Le Lombard and open to new artists. In 1993, alongside Morvan, Savoia published his first album, "Reflets perdus, " with publisher Zenda. In the ensuing years, Savoia accelerated his output, collaborating with Philippe Buchet on the artwork of the first two albums of the "Nomad" series, again written by Morvan.
Savoia later illustrated the next three albums of the series by himself. To maintain their rhythm, Savoia, Morvan, and Buchet opened Studio 510 TTC in Reims in 1994, and alongside his comics work, Savoia worked regularly on advertising, corporate communication and professional training books. In 2003, he and Morvan started the crime series "Al'Togo" with Dargaud, and the next year his partner, Marzena Sowa, asked him to illustrate "Marzi" (Dupuis, Europe Comics in English) an autobiographical series about her childhood in Poland for which Savoia developed a whole new graphic style.
After the series' international success, Savoia brought his readers another lesson in humanity with "Les ésclaves oubliés de Tromelin" (Dupuis 2015; "The Forgotten Slaves of Tromelin, " Europe Comics 2016). The book flits between the tragic history of Tromelin Island from the perspective of a young slave girl, and Savoia's own experience on the island during an archeological excavation. Most recently, Savoia has also joined with author and historian Fabrice Erre to create the series "Le fil de l'histoire" (Dupuis; "On the History Trail, " Europe Comics), set on bringing the past to vivid life for younger readers.
