A la recherche du temps perdu #5

Stéphane Heuet's meticulous adaptation of Marcel Proust's *À la recherche du temps perdu* continues with the second half of "Un amour de Swann," bringing Belle Époque Paris to life with quiet elegance. The cover places us in a sunlit Parisian square before a grand Haussmann façade, where a fashionably dressed woman in a flowing gown and wide-brimmed hat moves through the scene alongside a gentleman strolling among pigeons, with birds drifting across a pale blue sky above. Delcourt's 2008 volume is a rare treat for readers who love literary comics rendered with architectural precision and period grace.
