520    "In the middle of the night in 1997, Doctors Without 
       Borders administrator Christophe André was kidnapped by 
       armed men and taken away to an unknown destination in the 
       Caucasus region. For three months, André was kept 
       handcuffed in solitary confinement, with little to survive
       on and almost no contact with the outside world. Close to 
       twenty years later, award-winning cartoonist Guy Delisle 
       (Pyongyang, Jerusalem, Shenzhen, Burma Chronicles) 
       recounts André's harrowing experience in Hostage, a book 
       that attests to the power of one man's determination in 
       the face of a hopeless situation. Marking a departure from
       the author's celebrated first-person travelogues, Delisle 
       tells the story through the perspective of the titular 
       captive, who strives to keep his mind alert as desperation
       starts to set in. Working in a pared down style with muted
       colour washes, Delisle conveys the psychological effects 
       of solitary confinement, compelling us to ask ourselves 
       some difficult questions regarding the repercussions of 
       negotiating with kidnappers and what it really means to be
       free. Thoughtful, intense, and moving, Hostage takes a 
       profound look at what drives our will to survive in the 
       darkest of moments."--|cProvided by publisher.
