Le Petit Livre de la Cinquième République #[nn]

A globe-shaped parade of caricatured French political figures — some stern, some dynamic, one even parachuting in — wraps around the title in the tricolor red, white, and blue of this Dargaud release. Hervé Bourhis delivers what looks like a witty, affectionate tour through the history of France's Fifth Republic, rendered with a light touch that makes political history feel genuinely fun. A charming addition to any shelf with an eye on French culture and comics alike.
