Le Piano Oriental by Zeina Abirached

Softcover. Condition; Good+. 2015. Casterman. Graphic Novel. French. Stock Image.

A story inspired by the life of her ancestor, inventor of a new musical instrument in 1960s Beirut. A mad attempt to bring together the musical traditions of the East and the West, this piano, with its little-known destiny, saw the light of day in only one copy, just before the civil war broke out in Lebanon. An amusing - and touching - metaphor for the meeting of two cultures, two worlds, which coexist in Zeina's work.
