Book Description
for 750 Years in Paris by Vincent Mahe
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
In this wordless graphic novel, Vincent Mahé explores the passage of time as seen through one building. This real building in Paris, France experiences great physical change, adapting to the changing times and technology, over the course of 750 years. But, it also witnesses social change as seen by the people in and around the building. Illustrations are done in a thoughtful and limited color palette with a graphic style.
Author is one of the most well-regarded illustrators from France.
