Joachim and his parents live happily in a valley among the hills, far away from the world and its troubles. When suddenly the shadows appear, threatening and persistent, father and son are forced to embark on an unusual journey. But can you avoid the inevitable?

"The Three Shadows" was born from a real event experienced by the author when his close friends lost their child at a very young age. C. Pedrosa created a powerful, bittersweet, and moving story set in an earlier era to address the difficult subject of the death of a child, the desperate efforts of the parents to save him, and when it is certain that this is not possible, the father's refusal to accept the loss - a refusal that becomes an obsession and leads to madness.

An original concept in the form of a graphic novel, beautifully illustrated.

The book was released in 2007 and won the "Prix des Essentiels d'Angouleme" at the International Comics Festival in Angouleme in 2008. It has received other awards and distinctions both in France and in other countries, and has been translated into more than ten languages.
