Les rêveurs lunaires #[nn]

A striking mint-green cover sets the tone for this Franco-Belgian graphic work by writer Cédric Villani and artist Baudoin, subtitled Quatre génies qui ont changé l'histoire — four geniuses who changed history. Baudoin's illustration centers on a young man's face, his head filled with an intricate collage of gears, circuit boards, binary code, scientific instruments, and a perched bird, suggesting a mind overflowing with invention. Published in 2015 by Gallimard/Grasset, this is a thoughtful, visually inventive celebration of intellectual dreaming that feels as ambitious as its subjects.
