THE ONE WHO REMAINS by Rachel Corenblit and Régis Lejonc.
Read by Rachel Corenblit, and illustrated before our eyes by Régis Lejonc, The One Who Remains, published in 2024 by Nathan in the "Court Toujours" collection, is a retelling of the myth of Antigone. The seer Tiresias revealed to Oedipus that he had killed his father and married his mother. Mad with grief, he gouged out his eyes, while his wife and mother, Jocasta, killed herself. Their children, Polynices, Eteocles, Ismene, and Antigone, must now learn to live with this heavy legacy. Antigone, above all, is determined not to be swept away in their fall... Antigone is more than a myth, more than a tragedy. It is also the story of a young girl who discovers a family secret. This book explores this universal dimension, its timeless resonances.
