Fil & Atak  Pierre-Crignasse    (2011)  80 pages  Fremok  Editions (270X215)mm Weight: 600grs Translated from German by Maud Qamar Pierre-Crignasse is a collection of cruel tales for children and their parents. It is a re-creation of the German Struwwelpeter, known in French as Crasse-Tignasse, thanks to Cavanna who made it popular in France, on the occasion of a new translation at the Ecole des Loisirs in 1979. Pierre- Crignasse is therefore not a new translation but a true re-creation inspired by this monument of children's literature. As popular as Lewis Carroll's Alice, he is a figure who has influenced several generations of children around the world. These tales are about the right way to behave, but with fierce humor! Here, it is the prohibitions that are staged (bad table manners, making fun of strangers, mistreating animals, etc.), but very often, it ends very badly. Each story bears the name of its hero, this is how we follow the misadventures of Peter, Friederich, Kaspar or Hans. They are as much moral tales as they are amoral as their ending is cruel, even cynical. And this is undoubtedly where adults find their pleasure just as much as children. Thanks to Atak's rich and lively graphics, we come across Tintin, Olive and Popeye or Batman pages. And in their attempt to ink these tales of more than a century into the contemporary world, we accompany little Justin in his dream of a games console.
