Het veelbewogen leven van Teresia van Avila

Claire Bretécher, the celebrated French cartoonist, brings her sharp, satirical eye to this single-issue comic from Espee, chronicling the dramatic life of the 16th-century Spanish mystic and saint, Teresia of Ávila. Blending historical biography with Bretécher’s trademark witty, observational humor, the work offers a uniquely personal and irreverent portrait of a complex religious figure. Since its 1982 debut, it has stood as a distinctive, standalone gem in Bretécher’s acclaimed body of work, showcasing her ability to humanize historical icons with warmth and intelligence.
