Softcover. Zustand: New. Versailles: My Father's Palace is a graphic novel biography by Maïté Labat and Jean-Baptiste Veber, illustrated by Alexis Vitrebert, published by Life Drawn/Humanoids. Praised by Library Journal as "beautifully rendered in ink and pencil," this fascinating true story follows Henri de Nolhac, who grew up without a father despite his father Pierre being very much alive and working mere meters away at the Palace of Versailles. After his appointment to the Palace in 1887, Pierre de Nolhac dedicated his life to protecting Versailles' historical archives and restoring its former grandeur — a passion that grew into an obsession, driving him ever further from his own family. Labat draws on eight years of personal experience working at the Palace of Versailles to bring this poignant tale to life. A compelling pick for fans of historical graphic novels, French history, and stories exploring the cost of obsession and legacy. Ships from Georgia, USA. Vitrebert, Alexis (illustrator).…
