Hugo Cabret vit dans une gare de Paris. Orphelin, horloger et cambrioleur, son anonymat est le gage de sa survie. Mais le destin met bientt sur son chemin une petite fille excentrique et un vieil homme aigri qui tient un comptoir de jouets dans la gare. Lorsque son secret le plus prcieux est mis au jour, il se tisse une trame inextricable o dessin cod, prcieux cahier, cl vole, androde et message sign du pre d'Hugo s'entremlent. Brian Selznick s'est beaucoup inspir de la vie de Georges Mlis qui a oeuvr dans le monde du cinma entre 1890 et 1920 et qui l'on attribue la ralisation du premier film de science-fiction. L'invention de Hugo Cabret runit les caractristiques du roman et de l'album illustr. L'auteur innove en alternant des segments en images, puis en textes. Plus de la moiti des pages sont illustres de dessins au crayon, en noir et blanc. Original title: The Invention of Hugh Cabret Orphan clock keeper, and thief, Hugo Cabret lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks -- like the gears of the clock he keeps -- with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the train station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery. With more than three hundred pages of original drawings, and combining elements of picture book, graphic novel, and film, Brian Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience. Here is a stunning, cinematic tour de force from a boldly innovative storyteller, artist and bookmaker.
