Jean de Florette #1

This beautiful adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's beloved Jean de Florette opens with Alexandre Tefenkgi's sun-warmed cover, where a man carrying a child on his shoulders leads a small group — including a young woman and a laden cart pulled by a donkey — along a rocky Provençal path beneath a sweeping golden tree. Writers Serge Scotto and Éric Stoffel bring Pagnol's Provence to the bande dessinée page, and the cover's gentle, luminous palette immediately evokes the warmth and dust of southern France. For fans of the source material or anyone new to the story, this 2017 Grand Angle release promises a thoughtful, visually rich journey into one of French literature's most enduring tales.
