Un certain Cervantès

A single-issue graphic novel from Futuropolis, Un certain Cervantès (2015) is a biographical portrait of Miguel de Cervantes, the creator of Don Quixote, rendered by the French artist Lax. The book explores the author's turbulent life—from soldier and captive to tax collector and playwright—as the foundation for his literary masterpiece. Lax’s warm, expressive linework brings a personal, humanizing touch to the story of a man whose own adventures rivaled those of his fictional knight.
