GUARDIANS OF THE LOUVRE HC (26 Aug Release)

Returning to press! Acclaimed manga artist Jiro Taniguchi provides this entry to NBM’s “Louvre Collection” of graphic novels. After a group trip to Europe¸ a Japanese artist stops in Paris alone¸ intent on visiting the museums of the capital. But¸ bedridden in his hotel room with fever¸ he faces the absolute solitude of one suffering in a foreign land¸ deprived of any immediate or familiar recourse. When the fever breaks somewhat¸ he sets out on his visit and promptly gets lost in the crowded halls of the Louvre. Very soon¸ he discovers many unsuspected facets to the world within museum in a journey oscillating between feverish hallucination and reality. Able to speak with famous painters from various periods of history¸ he’s led to the crossroads between human and personal history by... the Guardians of the Louvre.
