Sinopse
Jean-Jacques Sempé is equally adept at capturing the little indignities (and triumphs) of
everyday life as he is at high farce. In
Highs and Lows
, nothing is ever quite what it seems: small villages try to pass themselves off as major
urban centres, and the roadsigns read Uptown, Downtown and Dont Knows. With his
uncanny eye for the telling detail, Jean-Jacques Sempé captures the small rebellions and
unexpected dramas of people who are striving to fit in and find their place in the modern
world, and of people who would rather be somewhere - anywhere - else. 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.
