Le Baron perché (Bande Dessinée)

Note: This is a graphic adaptation. Please avoid merging it with the main book. To see the earth well, one must look at it from a little distance. In 1767, after a quarrel with his parents over a dish of snails, the young Cosimo Piovasco di Rondò climbs into the holm oak in the garden. He will never come down from the trees until his death, awakening there to knowledge and to love, to solitude as well as to fraternity. A philosophical tale in homage to the Enlightenment, a self-portrait of an eccentric in love with freedom, The Baron in the Trees enchants with its generous humor, its constant inventiveness, and its timeless humanism. The Baron in the Trees is part of the trilogy Our Ancestors, which also includes The Cloven Viscount and The Nonexistent Knight.
