Monsieur Proust #[nn]

Drawn with elegant restraint by Stéphane Manel and adapted by Corinne Maier, this graphic work brings to life the intimate world of Marcel Proust as remembered by his devoted housekeeper Céleste Albaret, whose memoirs form its foundation. The cover pairs portraits of Céleste and Proust himself — rendered in a delicate, sketch-like style with splashes of watercolor — alongside manuscript pages and a small writing box that quietly evoke the literary world they shared. It's a genuinely moving invitation into one of literature's most fascinating behind-the-scenes relationships, published in 2022 by Éditions Seghers.
