Taniguchi, Jir�o,
Guardians of the Louvre / - Junior Library Guild edn. - 132 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations, 30 cm
Reads from right to left, in the traditional manga format. Original title: Sennen no tsubasa hyakunen no yume. Translated from the Japanese.
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 this world in a museum in a journey oscillating between feverish hallucinations and reality, actually able to speak with famous painters from various periods of history, led to crossroads between human and personal history by...the Guardians of the Louvre.
