De: Julien Peltier

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The untold story of the artist who changed how the world sees adventure.

The Man Who Drew the World is the definitive narrative biography of Hergé—the visionary Belgian creator of Tintin, the boy reporter whose global footprint spans art, literature, film, and pop culture. In this vivid, deeply human portrait, author Julien Peltier takes readers behind the clean lines and iconic panels to reveal the man who shaped modern imagination.

From a quiet Catholic childhood in Brussels to the explosive debut of Tintin in 1929…

From wartime turmoil and accusations that nearly ended his career to a creative rebirth that redefined his art…

From secret battles with depression and perfectionism to his late-life fascination with modern art and his unexpected link to Hollywood…

This is Hergé as he has rarely been seen—complex, brilliant, flawed, and relentlessly curious.

Drawing on meticulous research and written with cinematic clarity, The Man Who Drew the World follows every step of Hergé’s remarkable journey: the birth of the ligne claire style, the making of the Moon adventure years before NASA, the rise of the Tintin Studios, the unfinished final book he refused to let anyone complete, and the astonishing cultural afterlife that brought Tintin into the American mainstream.

Whether you are a lifelong Tintin reader, a lover of biography, an artist, or simply someone who believes in the power of imagination—this book is a breathtaking look at the man who gave the world one of its most enduring heroes.

A master storyteller. A global icon. A legacy that refuses to fade.
