Its Scent After the Rain (French edition) by Munuera Jose Luis (based on the novel by Cédric Sapin-Dufour)

"Its Scent After the Rain" is a poignant graphic novel adapted from the eponymous novel by Cédric Sapin-Dufour, beautifully illustrated by José Luis Munuera.

This graphic narrative tells the true story of a man, Cédric, and his dog, Ubac, a Bernese mountain dog with an imposing, reassuring, almost spiritual presence. For thirteen years, these two beings share a common life full of simple joys, moments suspended in time, walks, companionable silences, and rare connections that only such a relationship can foster.

But the heart of the story is not just life with Ubac. It is the invisible, strong, and silent bond that deeply unites these two souls. This bond gradually becomes the true hero of the book. An indescribable presence, sometimes more powerful than many human relationships.

When death imposes its tempo and sows emptiness, memory becomes a refuge. Absence transforms into a persistent presence, like a beloved scent that survives the rain, a sensitive, eternal imprint.

This work is an ode to fidelity, nature, slowness, and all those moments we believe insignificant until they become landmarks. The subtle narration and sensitive drawing by Munuera manage to capture the very essence of this unique bond: between discreet humor, sincere tenderness, and contained pain.

A book that will speak to all those who have loved, lost, and kept alive the memory of a loved one, whoever they may be.
