Tintin Book – Tintin Et Les Trains (Language: French)

If Hergé offered Tintin all kinds of means of transport, it is often on the platform of a station that his journeys begin. The train and its abundant universe occupy in his work a place of choice that this album highlights.

YVES CRESPEL is a professor of modern literature. He wrote several articles in the magazine Les Amis d’Hergé and made a slideshow to illustrate his lectures on the theme Hergé, Tintin and trains presented with Benoit Verley and Jean Michel Petit, now deceased.

BENOÎT VERLEY spent his career at SNCF as an engineer in the Rolling Stock Department. His interest in the railway and his knowledge of Hergé’s work naturally led him to present, with his friends Jean-Michel Petit and Yves Crespel, several conferences on the subject. It is therefore together that they participated in the development of this album.

EMMANUEL COLLET is the editor of the text of the audio guide offered to the public of Train World. It is in this capacity as a specialist that he participated in the matching of the content of the album with the Train World exhibition.

Co-edited by Moulinsart and Casterman, on the occasion of train World in Brussels in 2015.
