Beginning as a young Parisian bachelor, defeatist writer, and urban \u003ci\u003ebon vivant\u003c\/i\u003e, Jean has reluctantly transitioned into a family man of forty, learning how to live with, and ultimately love those around him unconditionally. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConstantly surrounded by a group of childhood classmates, an unbearably idealistic live-in friend Felix and his adopted son, Eugene, as well as his sweet daughter Julie, Jean questions life and those of others in an honest and endearing way; his unmistakable \u003ci\u003ejoie de vivre\u003c\/i\u003e always undermined by a palpable sense of cynicism. The joy of these award-winning cartoons stems from that fact that Jean's weaknesses are our own; his doubts about life, universal; his relentless quest for happiness understood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith their unique collaboration, both writing and drawing each Monsieur Jean story, celebrated French cartoonists Dupuy \u0026amp; Berberian prove time and time again just how powerful and seductive a simple, yet elegantly told story can be.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355837685911,"sku":"9781770462885","price":1645.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781770462885.webp?v=1769291703","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/it-dont-come-easy-9781770462885","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
