In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is the second volume of Proust's monumental novel. Marcel experiences the confusing time of adolescence and begins to participate in the social life with its bizarre rules during the summer in the picturesque seaside resort of Balbec. For more than 14 years, Stéphane Heuet has been working on adapting In Search of Lost Time as a graphic novel. He selects key scenes from the Recherche and conveys an impression of Proust's poetic prose through these passages. In his artistic interpretation, he draws on the comic style of Ligne claire, popularized by Hergé in the 1930s. A wonderful, new approach to this great classic.
