EVOLUCIÓN DEL SIGLO XX A TRAVÉS DEL CÓMIC DE HERGÉ - Bartomeu Castell

The planet Tintin created by Hergé is a drawn and imaginary world, but with a real foundation that, although it belongs, physically, politically, socially and culturally, to the moment in which it was drawn -a vision of the world certainly Eurocentric, but inserted in the tradition of travel books-, at the same time that it is already history, it transcends, together with its characters, places, situations and adventures, all time and becomes an archetype worthy of study. Beyond the pleasure they give us as an artistic work, in the simple genius of the plots and their images, Tintin's travels and landscapes form an "imago mundi" that in each drawing treasures a geography, real or invented, in places that can be located on a more or less identifiable map.

Del Quijote A Tintín

Unsuspected relationship between a book of "mockery" and a "children's" comic strip

Bringing together and studying in the same research the relationship between the stories of two characters of the stature of Don Quixote and Tintin is not within the reach of just anyone. Only someone radically in love with Hergé's art and his "clear line" and, at the same time, a great connoisseur of Cervantes' immortal novel could take on this task. "From Quixote to Tintin" is organized as a kind of bilingual dictionary Quixote-Tintin, Tintin-Quixote, with different slogans ordered alphabetically where the parallels offered by both characters are analyzed, which are many more than we would have thought before Joan Manuel Soldevilla discovered them and put them in value before our astonished eyes. "From Quixote to Tintin" is, from beginning to end, a feast of sensitivity and intelligence.

EL SIGLO DE TINTIN. BIOGRAFIA

This book establishes its story from the various adventures of the famous Belgian reporter Tintin that have been transmitted to us. Along with him, Captain Haddock, the faithful Nestor, Professor Calculus, Thomson and Thompson, Castafiore and all his universe of people and characters, times and spaces... and let's not forget Snowy. We thus come to the conclusion that Tintin is a hero who enjoys the invulnerability of the gods and the closeness of men, and that he is part of that group of chosen ones who make up the mythology that produces each historical period and allows us to understand it. That Tintin is a real witness of our recent history and of our most remembered imaginary.

Retrato del reportero adolescente Un paseo por el siglo XX, Rafael Narbona

It is 2007 and Rafael Narbona hears that Tintin could be in an old people's home on the outskirts of Brussels. He has been assured that Herge's famous character is not an imaginary creature, but a real journalist who starred in some of the milestones of the twentieth century, such as the first moon landing. Narbonne goes to Brussels and meets a little old man who looks remarkably like Tintin, but denies being him. However, he offers to talk about the young reporter with the red hair, because he admits that he admires him and knows his adventures very well. The old man, who says his name is Niemand, worked as a journalist and interviewed great figurines such as Lawrence of Arabia, Churchill, Mishima or John Le Carre.
