Avez-vous lu les classiques de la littérature ? #1

Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2018, this cheerful volume from Soledad Bravi and Pascale Frey promises exactly what its subtitle delivers: résumés en images des grands romans de la littérature — the great novels of world literature, distilled into images. The sunny yellow cover sets the tone perfectly, with a cartoonish figure gleefully grasping the bottom of an impossibly tall, rainbow-colored stack of books, body contorted with the effort and delight of it all. It's an irresistible invitation for anyone who's ever felt both daunted and charmed by the literary canon.
