Astisendo Grupo Editorial Grandville 01 Book Red . Crimes and Conspiracies in Belle Époque Paris. Grandville is a cross between Jules Verne and Sherlock Holmes directed by Quentin Tarantino. Two hundred years ago, Great Britain lost the Napoleonic Wars. Like the rest of Europe, it was invaded by France and its royal family members were guillotined. It had remained part of the French Empire until twenty-three years ago, when it was reluctantly granted independence after a prolonged campaign of civil disobedience and anarchist attacks. Now known as the Socialist Republic of Brittany, it is a small and insignificant country connected to the French Empire by the Channel railway bridge. Grandville is an original example of retrofuturistic uchronia in which Scotland Yard detective-inspector LeBrock pursues a band of ruthless killers in Belle Époque Paris. Bryan Talbot, considered one of the fathers of modern British graphic novels, was inspired by the work of 19th century French illustrator Gérard, who signed as J. J. Grandville, to create a work he describes as a cross between Jules Verne and Sherlock Holmes directed by Quentin Tarantino. A solid story of conspiracies with Tarantino-esque echoes. An ingenious entertainment in a vividly recreated world. Times Literary Supplement. Talbot´s masterful attention to detail makes each panel a work of art. One of his best graphic novels to date.
