Avez-vous lu les classiques de la littérature ? #3

A delightful collaboration between Soledad Bravi and Pascale Frey, this 2020 Rue de Sèvres volume promises "résumés en images des romans éternels" — visual summaries of literature's enduring classics. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a cheerful woman in a yellow top stretches high between two colorful, overstuffed bookshelves to retrieve a volume, while a red-shirted boy crouches beneath her, lending a hand — an image of joyful, cooperative literary discovery. If your relationship with the great novels of world literature has ever been more aspirational than actual, this charming and good-humored graphic treatment looks like just the invitation you've been waiting for.
