Review # 1 was written on 2009-03-17 00:00:00 Tom Inglis A charming collection of cartoons by Sempe (best known for his many drawings for The New Yorker), with subjects drawn from the French countryside. Each little piece made me smile. Often there are several sly jokes to be made, and I think the vast majority are understandable and entertaining even if you have only a passing familiarity with French culture. It deals largely with the clash of technology vs. the Old World presence of France and the more general generational shift in lifestyles, with a whole lot of fun poking at pettiness and small things too, and with, of course, lots and lots of pictures of bicycles. Would make a lovely coffee table book/conversation starter.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-05-12 00:00:00 John Goodrum what an incredible artist Sempe once more proofs to be with this astounding collection of charming drawings and petit cartoons. not only is his incredible talent shown through the seemingly simple sketches with an occasional brush of gentle watercolor but also through the overall complexity and depth of every single one of his pieces of the majestic Parisian daily life. each of these works contains a unique, one of a kind story that one gets absorbed into imagining what it is like to be there in flesh. author�s utmost skills make the French streets flourish, the Eiffel Tower stand solo quite proudly amongst nostalgic, ancient immeubles, the hum of the morning business as pleasant as it can be as the glasses gently clink on the tray next to the crusty, warm pain au chocolat - the ability to make the city alive with just a few strokes of paint and a couple of subtle lines of dark pencil is truly extraordinary and inspiring.
