The volume places cinema in the nineteenth century and explains how inventors turned into reality the ancient aspiration of bringing images to life.

An introduction to the illusion and modernity of the new art.
It belongs to the Découvertes Gallimard collection; the full title includes the subtitle «invention du siècle». The original French edition dates from 1988.
For enthusiasts of film history and illustrated popular works, with an interest in the inventions and pioneers that made the cinematograph possible.
