It’s probably not easy to define yourself when you were born in Baghdad to a mother of Greek origin and an Armenian father, and grew up in Beirut until the age of 10, just before the civil war broke out in Lebanon…

Through his own memories and the reconstruction of his family history, Charles Berberian invites us to share his return to his origins, in his new comic book Une Éducation orientale (Casterman, 2023), which stands out as the most intimate and universal book in his entire body of work. A humanist plea for dialogue between cultures, put into images with warmth and generosity.

See you on Tuesday, October 10 from 6pm for the launch of An Oriental Education and a meeting-signing with Charles Berberian!

Book available for pre-order and signed shipment after October 10.
