Description

Cosmobacchus: Complete Volumes 1 to 3 of Jean-Benoît Meybeck is an unclassifiable graphic work, at the crossroads of wine documentary, of the engaged graphic novel and of theillustrated scientific essay.

In this trilogy combined into a single volume, the reader follows the footsteps of JB, a comic book author in search of truth, and Jean-Marie, his passionate wine merchant, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Together, they explore the alternative viticulture methods, between Biodynamics, , organic farming, , conventional and Anthroposophy.

Through a paced investigation mixing adventure, , zetetic (the art of doubt), alternative medicine, , Esotericism, and contemporary agronomic issues, Meybeck questions the foundations of our relationship with wine, at the nature and at the Science.

But more than a fiction, Cosmobacchus relies on genuine interviews, rigorously transcribed, with scientists, , farmers, , militants and wine professionals. The narrative is framed by a preface by Richard Monvoisin, doctor in science education, providing critical insight into beliefs and esoteric practices in the agricultural world.

This integral brings together the three volumes of a series praised for its originality, its Intellectual rigor and his/her/its committed trait. The book questions the boundary between faith and reason, , Tradition and Science, while offering an exciting dive into the world of wine and its controversies.

One essential book for enthusiasts of natural wine, the curious ones of Science, the followers of politically engaged comic strip, or simply those who are looking to understand the contemporary challenges of viticulture.
