Graphic Novels #7

This German-language edition collects Posy Simmonds' acclaimed graphic novel 'Gemma Bovery,' a witty and sophisticated modern-day reimagining of Gustave Flaubert's classic novel 'Madame Bovary.' Originally serialized in The Guardian, the story follows the tragicomic life of Gemma Bovery, an Englishwoman living in rural France, as observed by her neighbor, a baker with literary pretensions. Published by Süddeutsche Zeitung in 2012 as part of their graphic novel series, this volume presents Simmonds' signature blend of detailed illustrations, sharp social commentary, and narrative depth.
