About this deal

Participation in the competition implies complete acceptance of the rules, which may be seen here in French or in Dutch. The rules have been submitted to a court representative. From this point onwards, Georges Rémi signed his drawings with the name Hergé, reversing his initials, "R.G." (as pronounced in French).

Boutique Tintin has become a location where people like to meet, a landmark in Francophone culture, almost a public place... One thing is for sure: for any tourist visiting Brussels it is a treat not to be missed! La Boutique Tintin Tintin in the land of the soviets, es pura propaganda anticomunista y estereotipos horribles de Rusia. Carece de trama, son puras persecuciones, peleas y retrasos. The second time I read it was to practice reading aloud with my younger brother. This time I was more amused by the unrealistic parts. The escapes and adventures are almost ridiculous, and the Soviets were funny Germans instead of Russians! Sociologist John Theobald noted that by the 1980s, the book's plot had become "socially and politically acceptable" in the western world as part of the Reaganite intensification of the Cold War and increased hostility towards Marxism and socialism. This cultural climate allowed it to appear "on hypermarket shelves as suitable children's literature for the new millennium". [21] That same theme prevented its publication in Communist Party-governed China, where it was the only completed adventure not translated by Wang Bingdong and officially published in the early 21st century. [49]Interested in all was happening at the time, Hergé collected a century's worth of mythic and historic imagery. Through his illustrative art and narrative science, he gave the European comic strip its badge of honor. If I am not mistaken, racist rants more or less disappear in the latest editions from the 1970ies when peoples minds seemed to have opened up a bit.

The book was pretty racist. That's expected with Tintin, but I can't believe how absolutely weirdly racist it was. At one point, the supposed Russians were speaking in German. The torturers supposed to be torturing Tintin for a confession were ... wait for it ... Chinese!!! CHINESE! This is so bloody random! Before he died, Hergé said he regretted the way he had depicted Congo but denied that it was racist, merely reflecting the way Africa was portrayed in the 1920s. The story of Boutique Tintin begins 20 years ago, in June 1989, when the shop was opened in the centre of Brussels, a stone's throw from the Grand Place.The competition will be open between 8 am on 22 December 2016 and 8 pm on 23 January 2017, only in French and Dutch. Primer y relativamente desconocido álbum de Tintín. Comenzó a publicarse por entregas (como todas las demás aventuras) en enero de 1929, finalizándose en mayo de 1930 y viendo la luz ese mismo año como álbum completo. Not sure about anywhere else in the world but in New Zealand the book (which is a nice compact hardcover, small but easily read and not too small for the fine details and enjoyment - I like the larger individual stories but they cost too much cumulatively) is sealed in the shops and not generally available in many places. Given that 'golliwogs' are still freely available in major high street shops in NZ and sit on many a home mantelpiece, I thought this squeamishness was interesting. Hmmm. Good old NZ, flying willfully in the face of racist dolls. According to Benoît Peeters, the only source Hergé used when making this album was "Moscou sans voiles", a book from 1928 by Joseph Douillet. Douillet was the Belgian Consul in Rostov. Some of the scenes from the the album was taken directly from Douillet's book including the voting scene. [BP p.26] Peeters, Benoît (1989). Tintin and the World of Hergé.
