Nine Extraordinary Lives of a Princess. Gaia

A masterpiece of modern illustration: an incredible story presented in an unusual visual manner. When Princess Gaia was born, she was predicted to have not one, but nine lives. Gaia is looked after by a guardian - half-human, half-cat, who works in the service of Death. The guardian follows the princess from century to century, from medieval Bavaria through the 17th-century Caribbean to the borders of Mexico, from imperial China to the outskirts of the Ottoman Empire. As the keeper of her memories, he is now ready to tell the story of his ward's nine lives. The artist and inspiration behind this amazing book, Régis Lejeunc, is a renowned French painter and illustrator, who has won numerous prestigious awards. From book to book, he searched for his own style for a long time until he settled on classical Art Nouveau in the spirit of Alphonse Mucha and Ivan Bilibin. His works are distinguished by the decorativeness typical of the genre, luxurious ornamental frames, smooth flowing lines and stylish muted colors. This magnificent album was born from the collaboration of nine writers, whom the artist gathered in one chalet to present the nine lives of Princess Gaia. The book will be a wonderful gift for readers of any age: the incredible story of Princess Gaia is capable of captivating both a child and an adult, and the high-quality printed stunning illustrations by Régis Lejonque will look great both in a child's room and on the shelf of a sophisticated book aesthete.
