About this ebook
Bernard Mauprat is raised by a family of robber barons in a tower in the Berry, and a cousin they have carried off makes him swear to be human before she will speak to him again — a promise that takes the rest of his life.

Thirty-five plates after painters from Chardin to Munch follow the boy at the centre of the story from snow and ruins to the reading woman and the burnt opera house.
