L'histoire du monde en BD #4

Part of Casterman's "L'Histoire du monde en BD" series, this 2020 volume by Dominique Joly and Emmanuel Olivier transports readers to the early centuries of Islam through a beautifully rendered cover scene. A robed figure leads a string of camels across a sun-baked desert landscape, with a walled oasis town of white buildings, swaying palms, and terracotta rooftops rising against rocky cliffs in the background. It's an inviting, carefully detailed panorama that sets the stage for an accessible and richly illustrated journey through a pivotal era in world history.
