Lille - De Lydéric et Phinaert à Charles le Téméraire #[nn]

Spanning the sweep of a city's medieval history, this handsome French-language album from Éditions Petit à Petit places Lille at the heart of an epic saga running from the legendary figures of Lydéric and Phinaert all the way to Charles the Bold. The cover sets the tone beautifully: two imposing, richly dressed noblemen face off in close profile against a blazing crimson sky, while between them a mounted knight in heraldic colors charges through a vast army before a turreted cityscape. It's a compelling visual promise of political rivalry, battlefield drama, and the proud Flemish heritage that shaped one of northern France's great cities.
