“LOUIS XIII COGNAC: THE THESAURUS”
INTERWEAVING FACT AND FICTION,
THIS IMMERSIVE ART BOOK TRIBUTE TO COGNAC LOUIS XIII IS AVAILABLE AS OF APRIL 2020.
ACC Art Books, the British publisher of numerous luxury brand stories, unveils “LOUIS XIII Cognac: The Thesaurus”, an art book that will guide the reader to the heart of one of the world’s most luxurious spirit on earth.
“LOUIS XIII Cognac The Thesaurus” is divided into 13 chapters, each divided into 2 episodes: one “movie”, one documentary.
Each one captures a key moment in this spirit’s life. The book encompasses the past, present and future of the LOUIS XIII, from the 16th to the 22nd century. Fictive tales, inspired by real events, are presented alongside speculative futuristic anecdotes, interspersed with authentic news reports and interviews, original illustrations and captivating photography.
It has no beginning, middle or end.
Disregarding conventional storytelling devices, this art book promises an immersive experience that reflects the perpetual cycle of time, celebrating the history and mystery of the LOUIS XIII legacy in a way never seen before.
Each episode bears witness, in its own particular way, to the historic presence of Louis XIII at the key events that defined the 20th century, such as the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, an Atlantic crossing aboard the Normandie, or a journey on the Orient Express. It therefore seems perfectly reasonable to find Louis XIII in the august company of Winston Churchill or King George VI.
Displaying the visionary thinking for which the LOUIS XIII cognac is renowned, the author envisions the part LOUIS XIII will play in shaping our future. An imagined conversation between an ancient oak tree and a dryad (a woodland spirit) takes place deep in the Limousin Forest in 2028, while a first-hand account records the 2115 world premiere of 100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See.
Time in the Thesaurus is twisted, turned and shaped in surprising ways, and conventional storytelling techniques are ignored as the narrative jumps from a century to another, and back again. This immersive masterpiece offers readers an exceptional gift, allowing them to delve deeply into the distant origins of the House. The engaging stories feature characters and situations, both real and invented, interspersed with authentic documents and supported by original illustrations and graceful photography.
