Louvain-La-Neuve.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The visit also allows us to understand how attentive Herg\u00e9 was to his time. His stories, even when they take us to imaginary or distant lands, often draw their inspiration from current events, political developments, discoveries, and major transformations in the world.<br>Behind the adventure thus emerges a genuine observation of his century. Herg\u00e9 is also interested in unexplained phenomena, premonitory dreams, and perceptions that defy reason. In <em><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tintin_au_Tibet\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tintin_au_Tibet\">Tintin in Tibet<\/a><\/em>, The young reporter sees in a dream his friend Tchang calling for help and becomes convinced that he is still alive, despite the plane crash in which he supposedly died. A scene that is not insignificant: Herg\u00e9 himself believed in premonitory dreams. <br>In <em><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vol_714_pour_Sydney\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vol_714_pour_Sydney\">Flight 714 to Sydney<\/a><\/em>, Telepathy, hypnosis and flying saucers appear alongside a character inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jacques_Bergier\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jacques_Bergier\">Jacques Bergier<\/a>, co-founder of the magazine <em><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plan%C3%A8te_(revue)\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plan%C3%A8te_(revue)\">Planet<\/a><\/em>.

The desire to recapture our childhood spirit.
