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.
