Monsieur Lambert. Ediz. inglese

- A gentle and unmistakably French graphic novel with text and pictures by Jean-Jacques Sempe - A glimpse of the everyday lives and secret passions of the regulars in a small Parisian bistro captured perfectly through Sempe's perceptive illustration Spotlightons and the finely judged translation provided by Anthea Bell - When Monsieur Lambert does not turn up for lunch at his usual time, the other regulars speculate that he must have met a woman. The diners start discussing women they have loved and lost, thereby revealing unexpected facets of their lives and personalities - The restaurant and its regulars are vividly brought to life in a series of drawings which, together with handwritten dialogue bubbling in a laconic narrative, display Sempe's signature unerring eye and ear for the telling details of human behaviour - Translated from the French by award-winning translator Anthea Bell - A classic, first published in 1965, is now available in English for the first time
