L'incroyable histoire de la Littérature Française #[nn]

A wonderfully irreverent romp through French literary history, this 2019 volume from Les Arènes BD brings together a sprawling, caricature-rich crowd of writers and thinkers — rendered in lively, expressive detail, with one figure dramatically brandishing a "J'accuse!" pamphlet amid the jostling throng. Catherine Mory and Philippe Bercovici pack the cover with personality, from top-hatted dandies to bespectacled intellectuals, all elbowing for space alongside marble busts and stacked manuscripts. It's a warm, witty invitation to dive into the grand, turbulent story of French literature told through the comic art form.
