About the series
In the early 2010s, Casterman published this three-issue comic series, a graphic adaptation of Amin Maalouf’s novel Le Périple de Baldassare. The story follows a 17th-century Genoese merchant’s quest for a sacred book during a time of political and religious upheaval in the Ottoman Empire. Known for its rich historical detail and philosophical depth, the series brings together the talents of screenwriter Gérard Adam and artist Éric Lambert, offering a thoughtful journey through a turbulent era.
