{"product_id":"sempe-a-little-bit-of-france-9780789315854","title":"Sempe: A Little Bit of France","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned New Yorker cover illustrator Jean-Jacques Semp illustrates the quirky charm of Frances countryside and small towns with his signature style and gentle sense of humor and irony. His drawings are famed for their striking use of pen and ink  their inimitable style  and most of all for their satire and tragicomic vision. The 78 drawings in this charming portfolio are sweet and sentimental. They somehow manage to be gentle even when the topic is difficult. They probe the quirkiness of life in provincial France and wordlessly pinpoint the quintessential features of modern French life  creating a world peopled by bemused psychoanalysts  baffled lovers  dreamy couples  and long-faced aquiline-nosed depressives yearning for universal truths. Not only is the volume a tribute to France  but it celebrates those who are ready to see the comic and lighthearted beyond lifes problems and their own egos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279666634805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0789315858","price":99.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780789315854.jpg?v=1780605513","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sempe-a-little-bit-of-france-9780789315854","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
