Book Overview

In this fanciful and richly imaginative story, one of the most original and important young European comic artists imagines a frozen world thousands of years hence in which all human history has been forgotten. A small group of archaeologists come upon the Louvre, buried in age-old snow, and cannot begin to explain all of the artifacts they see. Their interpretations of the wonders before them strike a humorous, absurd, and farcical tone. One of the few books coedited by the Louvre, this graphic novel features stunning illustrations as it presents a unique vision of the great museum.

Enjoyable, quirky graphic novel

The Louvre Museum has collaborated with NBM in producing this, the first in a series of four graphic novels that feature the museum's collection. This story takes place in some distant future, where an ice-covered Europe is remembered only vaguely, as a legend.

A top pick which stands apart from the usual graphic novel adventure.
