Ce livre raconte l’histoire vraie d’un enfant blond et de sa famille dans la Libye de Kadhafi et la Syrie d’Hafez Al-Assad..
Né d’un père syrien et d’une mère bretonne, Riad Sattouf grandit d’abord à Tripoli, en Libye, où son père vient d’être nommé professeur. Issu d’un milieu pauvre, féru de politique et obsédé par le panarabisme, Abdel-Razak Sattouf élève son fils Riad dans le culte des grands dictateurs arabes, symboles de modernité et de puissance virile. En 1984, la famille déménage en Syrie et rejoint le berceau des Sattouf, un petit village près de Homs. Malmené par ses cousins (il est blond, cela n’aide pas…), le jeune Riad découvre la rudesse de la vie paysanne traditionnelle. Son père, lui, n’a qu’une idée en tête : que son fils Riad aille à l’école syrienne et devienne un Arabe moderne et éduqué, un Arabe du futur.
L’Arabe du futur a reçu le Grand prix RTL de la bande dessinée 2014, le Prix BD Stas/Ville de Saint-Etienne, 2014, le Fauve d’Or – Prix du Meilleur Album du Festival international de la bande dessinée d’Angoulême 2015 et le Los Angeles Times Graphic Novel Prize en 2016
GRAPHIC NOVEL; 160 color pages; Paperback; Allary Editions; Published in 2014

A must-read
I confess I had never read a graphic novel before this because I had never found any I flipped through interesting or engaging enough. I decided to finally try this one out to see what all the hype was about because it is so popular and I was not disappointed! I cannot recommend this book enough and it is worthy of all the fandom and awards it has received. There are so many things that make it special and fascinating. Riad Sattouf’s autobiographical look at late 70s -early 80s Libya, Syria and France from the perspective of a child. A child who is both French and Syrian and very observant of the behavior of the multicultural cast of adults and children around him. Such a unique premise. It is engaging, interesting and very funny. I could not put it down and cannot wait to read Volume 2. If you love graphic novels, you must read it. If you don’t like graphic novels, you must also read it because you won’t be disappointed.
