About the Book

Riad Sattouf continúa desgranando su aguda y desternillante autobiografía en este nuevo volumen gráfico de El árabe del futuro, una de las series más celebradas del último lustro a nivel internacional, traducida a veintidós idiomas.

A través de los ojos del niño que fue, Sattouf nos relata sus vivencias en Libia, Siria, el Líbano y Francia, al tiempo que ofrece un retablo impagable del Oriente Próximo de la época y su relación con Occidente.

En este nuevo volumen, más extenso, oscuro e íntimo que los anteriores, el autor bucea en el período comprendido entre 1987 y 1992, la época en la que se convierte en adolescente y en la que su familia sufre una grave crisis: su padre se va a trabajar a Arabia Saudí y se abraza con más fervor a la religión, mientras que su madre regresa a la Bretaña francesa con sus hijos y le resulta cada vez más difícil soportar el giro hacia el fanatismo religioso de su marido. Y, justo en ese momento, la familia al completo debe volver a Siria...

Probablemente nos encontramos ante el momento álgido de la serie, en el que Sattouf continúa entretejiendo su pequeña historia familiar con la historia de Oriente Próximo, sin dejar nunca de emplear una voz cálida, cómplice y socarrona, donde el asombro y la comedia siempre acompañan el relato.

ENGLISH EDITION

The penultimate installment in the bestselling French graphic memoir series―hailed as "exquisitely illustrated" and "irresistible"―covering the years of Riad Sattouf's adolescence, from 1987-1992.

In the fourth volume of The Arab of the Future, little Riad has grown into a teenager. In the previous books, his childhood was complicated by the pull of his two cultures―French and Syrian―and his parents' deteriorating relationship. Now his father, Adbel-Razak, has left to take a job in Saudi Arabia, and after making a pilgrimage to Mecca, turns increasingly towards religion. But after following him from place to place and living for years under the harsh conditions of his impoverished village, Riad's mother Clementine has had enough. Refusing to live in a country where women have no rights, she returns with her children to live in France with her own mother... until Abdel-Razak shows up unexpectedly to drag the family on yet another journey.

As the series builds to a climax, we see Riad struggle with problems both universal (bullies at school) and specific (his mother's sudden illness, the judgment of his religious relatives). And as Abdel-Razak returns again to the same fantastical dreams he pursued in previous books, we see him become more and more unhinged, until ultimately he crosses the line from idealism to fanaticism, leading to a dramatic breaking point.

Full of the same gripping storytelling and lush visual style for which Sattouf's previous works have won numerous awards, The Arab of the Future 4 continues the saga of the Sattouf family and their peripatetic life in France and the Middle East.

Entre 2004 y 2014 colaboró con Charlie Hebdo con la tira La vida secreta de los jóvenes (La Cúpula, 2014). También ha colaborado con Télérama y, actualmente, con Le Nouvel Observateur.
