Description: Pang-i and friends travel to France in search of the Florence Diamond, one of Europe's four great diamonds. The diamond, once worn by French Queen Marie Antoinette, is famously said to carry a curse — after all, Marie Antoinette herself lost her life at the guillotine after possessing it. Commissioned by the Duke of Guise, a descendant of French royalty, to find the Florence Diamond, Pang-i and friends kick off their French adventure by causing a stir at a Sotheby's auction, accidentally winning a bid on a famous Rembrandt painting. After enjoying delicious French cuisine and marveling at the TGV train that crosses borders without a passport check, their old nemesis Dr. Bong suddenly appears. The story journeys through the dazzling auction houses of Sotheby's and Christie's filled with jewels and masterpieces, the cultural heart of Europe in Paris, and Geneva, Switzerland, offering readers a rich taste of European culture along the way. This is the second volume in the 'World Exploration Comic History Knowledge' series, which blends thrilling adventures with the diverse cultures and histories of countries around the world through exciting stories and real historical events.
