Tintin In Tibet

Awesome read

Tintin in Tibet is one of the most touching stories in the entire Tintin series. The storyline is emotional, heartfelt, and shows the power of friendship and determination. The artwork is absolutely stunning—clean, detailed, and expressive. Every panel is a visual treat, and the snowy Himalayan landscapes are beautifully drawn. This book is not just an adventure—it's a moving and unforgettable journey. Highly recommended!

Perfect ! Just the way it should be. Loved that the publisher has not changed the quality of the book. Very good print quality as well as print media, good binding and same size as original book of UK.

I bought this book thinking about the older prints that I had read when I was a child. This book is reprinted with smaller fonts and the book doesn’t have the old feel good factor

There's something special about gifting the original books you loved reading, to your kids!

Print quality is very good. Highly satisfied

Good

I love TinTin series. I was introduced to these way back in 1991-1992 when I was 11 years. My dad purchased ‘TinTin in Tibet’ for me in Landmark store Chennai (my first TinTin book) . Now I introduced TinTin to my nephew by purchasing him the same book in series to begin with. He’s loving it. I also ordered 4 more from the series. Quality and packaging are outstanding for all the books so far.

Nice story.

Lovely new paperback...always love a tintin book.

album BD anglophone broché souple grand format ancien (1990/1960) traduction de Tintin au Tibets; cette vingtième aventure des célèbres héros d'Hergé est une des plus réussies et, dans cet épisode, qui est un des plus récent de la série, l'intrigue fleure bon l'après-guerre et les années 50 (véhicules d'époque) et 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 dans la postérité comme celui du capitaine faisant du rodéo sur le vache sacrée à Dehli; la lecture en anglais est grandement aidée par le dessin, il faut seulement s'habituer aux jurons du capitaine Haddock; la plupart des personnages ont le même nom que dans la version d'origine; dans cette édition Mammoth souple, le papier est robuste et il ne manque que la couverture rigide pour compléter votre collection mais cette version sera parfaite à bas prix en attendant

Le livre est arrivé en parfait état. J’utilise les versions anglaises pour étudier mon anglais!

Reading Tintin after many years is kinda nostalgic. In my teens I was and still I am a big fan of Tintin. I still collect and read Tintin with same great enjoyment. And this 'Tintin In Tibet' is mine and surely everyone's most favorite. Tintin comics are adventurous, mysterious, funny and exploring different places and cultures. This one is about friendship and a bit sentimental. It is also about Yeti, the Abominal Snowman. The myth about Yeti in the Central Asia can be compared to Big Foot in the States, Nessie in the Scotland and UFOs around the world. Herge always did research to some extent about the subjects, places and cultures before writing his another book of Tintin. In this one, it is pleasure to find Indian culture, Indian citiies and the bull in Indian street with which Captain Haddock has fun when they arrive in Delhi. It is also pleasure to see Tibetan culture and monks when they arrive in Tibet in search of the missing friend. Still there is some, not mistake I'd say, but confusion here. The plane that crashed in Goshain Than, the mountainous range in Nepal, is flying from Patna, India to Kathmadu, the capital of Nepal. Nepal lies between Tibet (China) in north and India in south, east and west. The north side of Nepal and the south of Tibet are covered with snowy high mountains or the Himalayas. There it showed a little bit of culture of Nepal where Captain Haddock eats dried chilli thinking it was fruit. This you get to see around the streets of Kathmandu. The costume worn by kids, porters and people and the architectures are also what you get to see around there. And so far as I'm concerned, Sherpas like Tharkey are the local Nepalese guides for the mountain expedition. Nepalese (Nepali), the national language, is spoken all around Nepal. When Captain Haddock collides with the porter, he shouts back at him in Indian language (Hindi). Nepali and Hindi share similar phonetics and alphabets as both languages are descended from Sanskrit, the ancient language. Although Hindi is understood there, it is not spoken in daily life. Herge later admitted it as an error. Never mind ! Tintin is always the greatest fun to read.
