Sinopse
In his most recent collection of cartoons, Sempé turns his attention to the trappings of
modern life, from mobile phones to designer water. He also takes a fresh look at some of
his favourite topics and archetypes, such as struggling artists, aloof psychiatrists and
unhappy couples. Whether he's poking fun at the urbane patrons of fashionable restaurants
or the inhabitants of sleepy hamlets, Sempé treats all his subjects with equal amounts of
insight and affection. Most famous in the English-speaking world for his instantly
recognizable
New Yorker
covers, Jean-Jacques Sempé has delighted readers in France and beyond with his witty
drawings and keen eye for the finer points of the human condition for over 40 years. Now,
his sharply observed and beautifully drawn cartoons are available in English for the first
time. The pithy captions were translated from the original French by Anthea Bell, who also
translated the
Asterix
comics into English.
