Description

One of the most iconic characters in children's books

Join the world's most famous travelling reporter in his exciting adventures as he faces ruthless gangsters in The Red Sea Sharks, scales mountain peaks in Tintin in Tibet, and solves a baffling case of theft in The Castafiore Emerald.

The seventh of eight volumes containing Herge's best loved adventure stories, with three thrilling mysteries:

The Red Sea Sharks
There's a rebellion in Khemed and the Emir's life is in danger! He has entrusted his mischievous son to Captain Haddock's care, but when an old friend of Tintin's is caught smuggling arms to the Khemed rebels, they must jump straight on a plane to find out what on earth is going on ...

Tintin in Tibet
Tintin's friend Chang has been killed in a terrible plane crash and Tintin is distraught. But after a strange dream, Tintin becomes convinced Chang is alive. Together with Captain Haddock, he sets out on an impossible mission, an adventure deep into the mountains, through blizzards and caves of ice. They must find Chang at all costs!

The Castafiore Emerald
When Captain Haddock meets a palm reader, he dismisses a forewarning about a beautiful lady's stolen jewels. But when the famous opera singer Bianca Castafiore suddenly descends on Marlinspike Hall, the palm reader's prediction seems to be all too real. Can Tintin catch the emerald thief?

Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on extraordinary adventures spanning historical and political events. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011.

The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.

Herge (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.

About the Author

Herge (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. His pseudonym comes from his initials backwards (R.G., as pronounced in French). Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time. With translations published in over 80 languages, more than 230 million copies sold worldwide and a Hollywood movie to its name, Tintin dominates the Comics and Graphic Novels chart even today. Sadly, Herge died in 1983, leaving his 24th album, Tintin and Alph-Art, unfinished, but his hero continues to be one of the most iconic characters in both adult and children's fiction.



Reviews

Tintin shows young readers that the world in all its complexity is theirs to bestride. (The Wall Street Journal)

I became enthralled with the way Herge told his stories. Grand, epic, global adventures about a young reporter who goes all around the world looking for stories to tell. (Steven Spielberg, 'The Adventures of Spielberg: An Interview', The New York Times, 2011)

Top 100 Children's Book - Time Out (2022)

Terrific world-straddling adventures. (Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Ten Essential Children's Books, Books for Keeps, 2020)

The Red Sea Sharks was named one of Young Bond author Charlie Higson's favourite books in The Daily Express: "Tintin was a huge inspiration being a young person in an adult world." (2015)

Explorers of the Moon was named one of comedian Milton Jones' favourite books in The Daily Express (2018)

Explorers of the Moon was named one of screenwriter and best-selling crime novelist Peter May's favourite books in The Daily Express: "A childhood favourite...it encouraged me to create my own cartoon series." (2016)

The Calculus Affair was named one of author and foreign correspondent Christian Jennings' favourite books in The Week (2017)

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
