As soon as Tintin’s first albums appeared in bookstores across the province, Quebecers fell in love with this intrepid young reporter. The exceptional effervescence of the 1960s, when Quebec opened up to the world, will increase this attachment to the character of Tintin for whom nothing seems impossible!
It was in this context, in the midst of the Quiet Revolution, that Hergé's only trip to French-speaking America was organized in 1965. At the time, thousands of admirers gathered around him and, reciprocally, Hergé immediately felt a deep sympathy for this country.
In a completely revised layout, this new edition is enriched with unpublished texts, images and archival documents which retrace, like a logbook, Hergé's journey in the Belle Province. At the same time, the author evokes the journey of Tintin, a hero well anchored in the collective imagination of Quebecers.
