Requests:  0 Summary:  "Author of the critically acclaimed Tintin and the World of Hergé and the last person to interview Remi, Benoit Peeters tells the complete story behind Hergé's origins and shows how and why the nom de plume grew into a larger-than-Remi personality as Tintin's popularity exploded. Drawing on interviews and using recently uncovered primary sources for the first time, Peeters reveals Remi as a neurotic man who sought to escape the troubles of his past by allowing Hergé's identity to subsume his own. As Tintin adventured, Hergé lived out a romanticized version of life for Remi."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 741.5092 Herge Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.5092 Herge Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList
