Pierre Christin byl uznávaný francouzský scenárista, jehož díla se vyznačovala hlubokým zamyšlením nad společností a lidskou povahou. Jeho příběhy často zkoumaly složité mezilidské vztahy a morální dilemata s jemným nádechem ironie a kritiky. Christin mistrně proplétal napínavé zápletky s podnětnými úvahami o politice, historii a kulturních střetech. Jeho jedinečný styl a schopnost vytvářet živé postavy zanechaly nesmazatelnou stopu v literárním světě.
Konečně se v Mistrovských dílech objevuje komiksová legenda Enki Bilal! V Teorii rozpadu najdete hned dvě jeho legendární práce a v obou se mísí politika s thrillerem, depresí a melancholií. V jednom příběhu, Brigády Černého řádu, se bude skupina starců vyrovnávat s minulostí... se zbraněmi v ruce. A v druhém, nazvaném Hon, se sjíždí skupina komunistických papalášů na lov medvěda. Ovšem lovit se nebude jen medvěd...
Do we really want our dreams fulfilled? And, when given everything wished for, what is life like? This docufantasy about a small town saved from disaster and pushed into utopia provokes such questions. The story is framed by a boy's two contrasting dreams of utopia. The first, a majestic otherworldly city filled with surreal amusements; the second, a mundane but familiar working class town. The dramatic shift of the child's fantasies results from a remarkable offer accepted by the people of his town. The factories that are the life blood of the town are about to close, despite efforts by the striking workers. When the owner, the aged founder of a multimillion dollar empire, suddenly dies, the town expects little help from his heir, an invalid granddaughter. In fact, the enigmatic lady also has a dream. Her determination and money create a new town ... the town that didn't exist
