Khatlab said in a release that Carmo read his book and accepted the invitation to take the monarch\u2019s travels to the Middle East into the comics. \u201cHere is Carmo\u2019s beautiful work, with drawings and dialogues full of humor, intelligence, and fun \u2014 made in a purposefully rustic way and easy language for children, teens, and adults,\u201d said the writer.<\/p>\n

Pedro II was the emperor of Brazil from 1840 to 1889. He returned to Portugal and then moved to Paris, where he died in 1891. In the 1870s and 1880s, he made three trips \u2013 in 1871 to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East; in 1876, to North America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa; and, in 1887, to Europe again. During his travels in 1871 and 1876, he visited Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Egypt. He studied and learned several languages, including Arabic.<\/p>\n

These trips resulted in the book that the researcher, writer, and director of the Latin American Studies and Cultures Center (CECAL) of the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) in Lebanon, Roberto Khatlab, wrote and published in 2015. Khatlab\u2019s stories are now presented to graphic novel lovers through Carmo\u2019s adaptation. She holds a master\u2019s degree in Visual Arts from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and a Ph.D. in Romance Sciences from the Friedrich-Alexander Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg University (FAU).<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite so many talents, he was a very humble person \u2013 he was respected around the world and upheld the image of Brazil. Still, very little is known about this great figure. After all, who was the real Pedro II? We talk about him here, through two important trips of his, 1871 and 1876,\u201d said Carmo. Maria Gabriela de Orleans e Bragan\u00e7a, great-granddaughter of Pedro II, pens the preface. The work has the support of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), Arab House, and Grupo Sidon.<\/p>\n
