ALBERTINE.THE SEA OF MEMORY

ALBERTINE: A Sea of Memories is a luminous graphic novel inspired by Marcel Proust’s La Prisonnière and Albertine Disparue. Set between Paris and the shimmering beaches of Cabourg/Balbec during the Belle Époque, the story follows Marcel, Albertine, and Gilberte through love, jealousy, memory, and longing. Among grand hotels, seaside promenades, elegant salons, and train stations filled with emotion, Marcel searches endlessly for the mysterious Albertine — a woman who becomes both his greatest happiness and his deepest obsession. Painted in vivid colors and dreamlike light, the novel transforms Proust’s world into a romantic visual journey where memory rises like the sea itself: beautiful, fragile, and impossible to hold forever.
