Les yeux de Mona - Thomas Schlesser
Out of stock
Fifty-two weeks: that's how long Mona has left to discover all the beauty in the world. That's how long her grandfather, a learned and whimsical man, has given himself to introduce her to a work of art every Wednesday after school, before she loses her sight, perhaps forever. Together, they will explore the Louvre, Orsay, and Beaubourg. Together, they will marvel, be moved, and question themselves, captivated by the spectacle of a painting or sculpture. Through the eyes of Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Courbet, Claudel, Kahlo, and Basquiat, Mona discovers the power of art and learns about gift-giving, doubt, melancholy, and rebellion—a precious treasure that her grandfather wishes to instill in her forever.
Cinquante-deux semaines : c’est le temps qu’il reste à Mona pour découvrir toute la beauté du monde. C’est le temps que s’est donné son grand-père, un homme érudit et fantasque, pour l’initier, chaque mercredi après l’école, à une œuvre d’art, avant qu’elle ne perde, peut-être pour toujours, l’usage de ses yeux. Ensemble, ils vont sillonner le Louvre, Orsay et Beaubourg. Ensemble, ils vont s’émerveiller, s’émouvoir, s’interroger, happés par le spectacle d’un tableau ou d’une sculpture. Empruntant les regards de Botticelli, Vermeer, Goya, Courbet, Claudel, Kahlo ou Basquiat, Mona découvre le pouvoir de l’art et apprend le don, le doute, la mélancolie ou la révolte, un précieux trésor que son grand-père souhaite inscrire en elle à jamais.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
