The Adventures of Tintin and Snowy


Remember a chubby reporter in a blue shirt and his white dog setting out to save the world again and again? Yes, you guessed it right I'm talking about the one and only, the world famous fictional repoter, Tintin and his dog Snowy. Even after 75 years after its debut Tintin continues to be loved by one and all. His adventures even after 75 years of publication are still read by people of all ages.

The adventures of Tintin was written my Hergé, which was the pen name of Belgian Georges Remi who wrote and illustrated the book himself.It debuted in 1929 and the first book was Tintin in the land of soviets which featured for the first time only Tintin and Snowy. then in the later books hot headed Captain Haddock and other colorful characters like Prof. Calculus were introduced.

Tintin is a young reporter who,along with is dog Snowy, is always drawn to dangerous international intrigues in which his quick thinking and bravery save the day. Almost every adventure features Tintin engaging in some kind of sleuthing or investigation, but rarely does he actually turn in a story.Although the strip was Belgian, Hergé was inconsistent or vague about assigning Tintin a nationality, depicting him instead as broadly European. In some of the earliest books, like Tintin in the Congo,a Belgian identity is fairly explicit. In later adventures, as with other aspects of his character's history and family, Tintin's nationality is simply never brought up.

Though Tintin's adventures are formulaic—presenting a mystery which is then solved logically—Hergé infused the strip with his own sense of humour,and created supporting characters who, whilst being predictable,were filled with charm that allowed the reader to engage with them.Hergé also had a great understanding of the mechanics of the comic strip, especially pacing, a skill displayed in The Castafiore Emerald, a work he meant to be packed with tension in which nothing actually happens.

The books are colorfully illustrated. though the books were written long back they are so couloufully illustrated that you will feel that the events are taking place in the current world. Such was the research of the author. The books are truly hilarious and made more exciting by adding the mystery element to it.
