L'affaire Tournesol – Edition Journal Tintín - french

€19.50
Tax included

The Calculus Affair. Special edition Journal Tintin.

In this carefully crafted special edition of The Calculus Affair, we rediscover, almost seventy years later, the original version of this adventure, published in Tintin magazine, which differs considerably from what we have known until now, particularly the last twenty plates. This album, set during the Cold War, exquisitely blends touches of spy novel, satire, and scientific espionage, all with a fast-paced rhythm that once again highlights Hergé's mastery with pencil and pen. The Belgian cartoonist's most Hitchcockian adventure includes an informative dossier that expands on the historical context of this episode, and also recounts the restoration of the original plates and the incorporation of the Hergé Studios team. Hergé is the pseudonym of Georges Remi, playing on the inverted initials of his name. Throughout the evolution of his star character, Tintin, we can see the progress of this author: from the early titles marked by the ultra-conservative doctrine of the editor of the newspaper Le Petit Vingtième to the break with convention embodied in The Blue Lotus, as well as the evolution of the society of his time.  Hergé's research to provide historical context for his adventures, as well as his implicit social criticism, have made Tintin a 20th-century masterpiece.
