The Rise of the Great Evil

Publisher L'Association
The Great Evil is the name people gave to epilepsy in the Middle Ages. The Rise of the Great Evil is a stunning and emotional autobiography about growing up with an epileptic brother.

This is the story of a family in the mid-sixties whose eldest son, Jean-Christophe, has epilepsy. His little brother, Fafou, looks at the upheaval caused by Jean-Chrostophe's fits, at how adults, parents, doctors, passers-by and charlatans all react and try to heal Jean-Christophe. These are the memories of their ancestors. Fafou interprets the world and the events around him with great imagination, events that shaped him into the illustrator he is today.
