Tintin Au Tibet (Adventures of Tintin, 20) (French Edition)

I grew up on Tintin, which was written by a Belgian. I am part Belgian, but grew up in India, now living in the US. After reading French, Belgian, Indian, and American comic books, I can say that Tintin is still one of the best comic books out there today! The characters are very funny, especially Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus! There is adventure, there are villainous rogues, and there is a sense of having traveled to these countries and lived thru the adventure with Tintin and his faithful dog, Snowy (Milou in French). This particular story about mysterious Tibet, and the Yeti, is very touching in parts, and has all the ingredients to entertain and delight! Definitely should be part of any collector's library.

Our son is in his 3rd year of French and this series is a good addition to help with comprehension and humor from the Euro side of the pond. Highly recommended by one of his mentors who's a retired professor. Arrived ahead of the promise date is in in wonderful condition...published in 1962 so there's some historical benefit as well.

I am so happy to add this book to my collection! I tried to read it online but it’s not the same experience. This is a beautiful classic.

Beautiful book and fast shipping! Great price too 👍

Excellent product! Excellent seller!

My folks read these to me as a kid. Glad I have found them as my additions are getting very warn and like to enjoy them wih nephews.

Love it!

arrived in the condition that was described- old favorite =)

I cannot think of a worse French assignment than reading this book. I honestly can't! Which is sort of sad all by itself...Anyway, let's review this book:TinTin, the nosy reporter with no life and a funny hairdo (I wonder what kind of gell he uses?), has a magical dream!! (Has someone been drinking tea lately? *Everybody who's seen the Rutles laughs appreciatively*) Anyway, he decides this dream MUST BE TRUE!!! So, after screaming TCHANG!!! at the top of his lungs a few times for dramatic effect (and, just for added effect, having practically everyone else yell TCHANG! too-who really says TCHANG! when they sneeze?), TinTin decides that Tchang DIDN'T die in the plane crash where everyone else died-because TinTin the Great had a dream, Tchang is OBVIOUSLY still alive!!! I have to agree with the nutty Professor here: TinTin shouldn't have champagne that early in the morning! Of course, it's probably tea, not champagne, but ANYWAY.....speaking of the Professor, he's hardly in this! (Not that I really mind, but he's better than the rest of them...sort of) His biggest part is appearing in the Captain's hallucination. (Don't ask)Speaking of the other characters, not only is TinTin his annoying self, he's also slightly insane (following a dream and a floating monk and refusing to stop even though he's probably going to die?). The Captain is actually SENSIBLE *gasp* in this one. And the dog is an alchoholic who, from his actions, doesn't care if TinTin lives or dies. And Tchang is...well...apparently he's perfect!! And in case that interesting crew isn't odd enough, let's throw in the legendary and terrifying yeti!!All in all, not the greatest book in the world. What am I saying? DON'T READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!!! Would you believe, it's actually better in French than English??? And I'm English natively, so that's pretty impressive!!*NOTE: I didn't make a mistake about Tchang's name, in the French edition, it's spelt that way.*

Tim begibt sich, natürlich begleitet von Captain Haddock, auf die gefährliche Reise ins Himalaya-Gebirge. Dort wird sein langjähriger Freund Tschang nach dem Absturz eines Flugzeugs in Tibet vermisst. Während alle glauben, dass keiner der Passagiere den Unfall überlebt haben könnte, spürt Tim die Gegenwart seines Freundes und macht sich daher auf die Suche nach ihm…Auch diese Story hat alle typischen Bestandteile einer Tim und Struppi-Geschichte. Den Spannungsbogen, eine faszinierende Umgebung und natürlich den jähzornigen Haddock, der kein Chaos auslässt, aber trotzdem alles mit übersteht.Die französische Originalfassung lohnt sich für alle Hergé-Fans, um die eigenen Sprachkenntnisse etwas aufzufrischen. Wer gleichzeitig die deutsche Fassung besitzt, hat somit auch einen direkten Vergleich.Wichtiger Hinweis: Achten Sie beim Kauf unbedingt auf eine Album-Ausgabe in der Größe/Höhe von ca. 30 cm, es gibt leider auch kleinere Buch-Varianten. Hier geht dann aber m. E. komplett der Charme der sehr detailreichen Bilder von Hergé verloren. Und auch mit dem Lesen des Textes wird’s dann schwieriger.

album de BD broché cartonné rigide ancien (1960) relatant la vingtième aventure des célèbres personnages inventés par Hergé; dans cet épisode qui est un des plus récent de la série, l'intrigue qui fleure bon l'après-guerre et les années 50 (véhicules d'époque) nous fait quitter les Alpes (Chamonix?) pour l'Inde , le Népal et le Tibet; les personnages principaux ne sont pas tous là, seul le capitaine Haddock, ses colères et ses jurons nous prouve à plusieurs reprises son altruisme, Tournesol et la Castafiore n'apparaissent qu'en rêve ou à la radio, les Dupond/t sont absents; on retrouve par contre le jeune Tchang du Lotus bleu et un yéti au coeur tendre qui ressemble étrangement au gorille de l'île noire (et à King kong); les gags sont passés à la postérité comme celui du capitaine faisant du rodéo sur le vache sacrée à Delhi ou dégustant du piment rouge à Katmandu; en conclusion un classique qu'on a tous déjà lu mais qui donne néanmoins un intense plaisir à la relecture; on trouve pas mal d'occasions bon marché pour cette version rigide qui permettent de renouveler une collection qui a souffert avec le temps, alors n'hésitez pas!

Je me séparée de beaucoup de livres et de BD,car pas assez de place pour les ranger.Et puis l’envie de relire cet album m’a repris.Donc je l’ai racheté. Que du bonheur. Dommage le livreur a forcé pour le déposer dans la boîte aux lettres et il a été un écorné sur la tranche. D’où mes 3 étoiles.

Great collection
