Histoire dessinée de la France #6

Part of the acclaimed Histoire dessinée de la France series from La Découverte, this sixth volume — Chevaliers, Moines et Paysans: De Cluny à la Première Croisade — brings medieval France vividly to life through the collaboration of historian Florian Mazel and artist Vincent Sorel. The cover, evoking the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, parades a procession of knights, monks, and peasants across a frieze-like composition, with a mounted horseman at its center flanked by robed clergy and common folk — the full spectrum of medieval society rendered in warm, flat tones. Published in 2019 at 22,00 EUR, it's a beautifully conceived blend of scholarship and illustration that makes the world between Cluny and the First Crusade feel genuinely alive.
