Prisoners of the Sun

“Calculus is here, so wonderfully oblivious!” –Hergé Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock fly to Peru to look for Professor Calculus, who has unintentionally committed a sacrilege that sentences him to the ultimate punishment. Tintin, perhaps one of the most famous cartoon heroes of all time, is as much a child of the 20th century as his creator, Georges Remi—aka Hergé (1907-1983). Tintin's adventures, marked by his inquisitiveness, sense of mystery and witty humour, are deeply rooted in the events of that tumultuous era. Featuring an official new English translation.
