Is obsession with the Royal Family in Britain a fact of culture or an illusion of media culture? What interest do the European media display in their royal families? Does twenty-first century monarchy remain a political and ideological force - or is it just an economic commodity? Media, Monarchy and Power provides a radical insight into the cultural and political functioning of royalty in five countries. Blain and O'Donnell examine the bonds between monarchies and their 'subjects' or 'citizens', and the relationships between royal families, the media, and nation-states. Numerous case-studies from press and television in Europe and the UK support a theoretical account of the operation of monarchy and royalty in the media. Central to the concerns of Media, Monarchy and Power are the complex relationship between Britain and Europe and the limits of British political modernization.

Le peintre Isaac Sofer s'est embarqué sur le bateau de Jean Mainbasse qui le soupçonne maintenant de lui porter malheur. Mainbasse a décidé de passer par dessus bord les marins suédois.

The boat is not out on a short cruise, but a lengthy and dangerous expedition led by Captain John the Pillager, a successful and charismatic pirate possessed by a touch of madness to rival Melville's Ahab. Winner of the 2002 Alph Art Award for Best Graphic Album
Le voyage est plus long que prévu, et Isaac en a marre car il a déjà tout dessiné : le pont, la proue, le deuxième pont, l'équipage. Le navire arrive enfin au sud du sud, et contrairement à ce qu'ont toujours cru les marins, les océans ne bouillent pas sous ces latitudes, mais sont pleins de gros glaçons qui ont l'air habités...
