As part of the centenary year of Hergé's birth, Philippe Goddin, who served as secretary general at Studios Hergé (formerly the Hergé Foundation), has completed a new "official" biography of Hergé.
P. Goddin recognizes that there is something inexplicable about Tintin in the sense that Hergé reflected on the world that functions on both sides of the world, from Calcutta to Etterbeek. P. Goddin reveals the last secrets of Tintin's creator.
These "Lines of Life" sketch the portrait of a complex, vulnerable man, endowed with a great sense of humor, prey to the most painful torments. They give us all to know, to understand, all of the impulses, ruptures, wanderings, doubts and certainties that have traced the contours of his life. They encompass both the man and his quest, the artist and his work. Rare and unpublished photos and documents complete the work, making it indispensable to any reader of Hergé.
