《三毛流浪记》所描述的三毛所生活的那个时代，已经成为了过去，但是了解过去，了解历史，却是每个人都必须完成的一份答卷。因为了解过去，了解历史可以让成长的脚步更沉着、更坚实，可以让视野更宽广，心胸更博大。在一个人成长的过程中，除了新鲜的空气，灿烂的阳光以外，更需要的冷静的思考，以及心灵的感动和震撼，而这些，在阅读三毛的时候，我们都能够得到。
三毛已经永远地沉淀在无数人成长的记忆中，相信在未来的岁月里，三毛依然会带给我们许多宝贵的东西，让我们体验苦难和不幸，也学会同情，学会关怀和珍爱。
《三毛流浪记》为什么经久不衰？因为它有益于人们的心灵。柯灵先生在香港版序言中写道：“《三毛流浪记》是一部很有趣味的小人书，也是一部给成人看的警世书。三毛身上，背负着沉重的历史阴影，也带了深刻的历史启示，向世界呼唤和平，呼唤公正，呼唤仁慈，呼唤同情，呼唤人道，呼唤文明！”
所幸的是，三毛不单只是流浪，他始终与时代的脉搏同步。在上个世纪的作十年代，三毛已经是个爱科学、学法律的孩子了。
张乐平先生生前曾说，三毛是他献给全国少年儿童的礼物。我们希望三毛不断有新的故事告诉热爱他的读者，成为孩子们永远长不大的好伙伴。《三毛流浪记》利用电脑技术对原画精心着色，并配以详尽的文字解说和注音，以达到图文并茂的效果。三毛流浪记全集为彩图注音读物。

A Classic Graphic Novel by World Renowned Cartoonist; Available in English for the First Time "Goodness! Isn't Monsieur Lambert here today?" - the waitress, Monsieur Lambert Jean-Jacques Sempé is one of the most successful and best-loved cartoonists in the world, best known from his drawings that have graced the covers and pages of the New Yorker and Paris Match for decades. Sempé has published numerous graphic novels in his native France, but never before have they been translated into English. Phaidon Press is delighted to announce the first English translated publication of Sempé's best-selling graphic novel, MONSIEUR LAMBERT, translated by Anthea Bell, a gentle and unmistakably French story with beautifully detailed drawings and poignant text. MONSIEUR LAMBERT offers a glimpse into the everyday lives and secret passions of a group of regulars at a small Parisian bistro, who see each other for lunch every day, without fail. They are creatures of habit, eating the same set meals on the same day, week in and week out. One day, however, one of their group, Monsieur Lambert, does not turn up for lunch at his usual time, and the other regulars soon turn to speculating as to the reasons for the sudden and unexpected changes in their fellow diner - it surely must be because of a woman, they conclude. Why does he develop a taste for terrine, a dish he has previously always despised? The diners are right: Lambert has indeed met a wonderful woman, Florence. This revelation changes everything, and instead of discussing football and politics as usual, the other diners in the bistro start reminiscing about women they have loved and lost, about passionate affairs in the past, all the while continuing to take a keen interest in Monsieur Lambert and his new love. Sempé, true to form, illuminates the humanistic feelings of intrigue, concern and jealously that occur amongst friends when confronted by change, to reveal the unexpected facets of the character's lives and personalities. The restaurant and its regulars are vividly brought to life in a series of drawings that, together with the handwritten dialogue bubbles and laconic texts, display Sempé's signature unerring eye and ear for the telling details of human behavior. MONSIEUR LAMBERT is a classic graphic novel that will appeal to cartoon connoisseurs and Francophiles as well as the general public.
