Set against a fantastic backdrop of oriental desert landscapes, enchanting harems, and the ever-present divide between the "First" and "Third World," Habibi tells the moving story of Dodola and Zam, two slave children brought together by chance, torn apart by fate, and whose deep love for each other endures despite all odds. Complex, captivating, and depicted in images of opulent splendor, Habibi is an extraordinary, epic love story, a poignant parable about the shared heritage of Islam and Christianity, and above all, an ode to the magic of storytelling. Six years after his internationally successful and award-winning graphic novel Blankets, Craig Thompson presents his highly anticipated book Habibi - a modern fairy tale from One Thousand and One Nights.
