An impressionist painting shows a lively Paris street scene at night with people dining at outdoor tables under a red-striped awning labeled “Café de la Paix.” Absinthe drinkers mingle as waiters serve guests; warm light glows, reflecting on the wet pavement.

The Absinthe Drinkers by Robert William Service

A middle-aged man in a striped dark suit jacket, light blue shirt, and burgundy sweater sits before a red and black gradient background. “LA GRANDE LIBRAIRIE” and “J'aime l'humain – Philippe Claudel” appear in bold red and black letters on the left.

Philippe Claudel : ” J’aime l’humain “

A sepia-toned portrait of Henri Poincaré, a serious man with a beard and mustache, wearing a monocle, dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie. Soft, wavy light patterns on a dark backdrop evoke vintage artistry and his contributions to mathématiques.

La conjecture d’Henri Poincaré a tenu cent ans

Book cover for the novel Interior by Thomas Clerc, translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman. The handwritten title sits atop abstract shapes forming a face—striped hat, glasses, green book—set against a cream background.
