A visual journey across centuries and continents, The Discoverers celebrates the courage and imagination of those who never stopped asking questions.

First published in 1983, The Discoverers is a classic tale of human curiosity translated into 30 languages. From calendars and Galileo’s clocks to Zheng He’s travels and Magellan’s circumnavigation, it traces our quest for knowledge. In this graphic adaptation, the authors bring this landmark work to new generations by simplifying its structure, adding missing voices – like Hypatia, Hildegarde of Bingen, or Louise Bourgeois – and celebrating the scientists who reshaped our vision of the world.
