Saint Maurice #[nn]

This French-language graphic biography brings the story of Saint Maurice to vivid life, following a soldier whose journey stretches from the plains of the Nile to the treacherous Alpine passes. The cover foregrounds Maurice himself in a crested Roman helmet, blue cloak, and green tunic, his expression resolute as a column of mounted soldiers picks its way through a snow-covered mountain gorge behind him. It's a striking, handsomely illustrated introduction to a compelling piece of ancient history, published by Éditions du Signe in 1993.
