Product description

From the Back Cover

Cet album contient la suite des aventures commencées dans Les sept boules de cristal. A la recherche de Tournesol, Tintin et le Capitaine Haddock traverseront les Andes et la jungle, aidés de Quirino, un jeune indien, avant de retrouver le professeur, condamné à mort pour sacrilège par les Incas. Parviendront-ils à le sauver, ainsi que les sept professeurs européens toujours enfermés dans un hôpital ?

About the Author

Né le 22 mai 1907 à Etterbeek, Georges Remi signe dans sa jeunesse de nombreuses illustrations pour des revues scoutes sous le nom d'Hergé. C'est le 10 janvier 1929 qu'il donne naissance au reporter Tintin dans les pages du Petit Vingtième, supplément pour la jeunesse d'un quotidien belge catholique. Son héros devient très vite le personnage le plus emblématique de la bande dessinée francophone. Curieux de tout ce qui fait son siècle, Hergé en a collecté les images et les signes mythique et historiques. Par son art du dessin et sa science de la narration, il a donné à la bande dessinée européenne ses lettres de noblesse. Il est mort le 3 mars 1983 à Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. © Hergé-Moulinsart

4.9 for story, -2 for size ( Minuscule!)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 October 2020

Verified Purchase

After "the 7 Crystal Balls" I decided to let my children try the sequel in native French. For some reason, standard size Tintin books in French have become exceedingly expensive - around 4 times the price of the English paperback, and twice the price of a standard-size French hardcover Asterix or Lucky Luke. So I went for this more affordable edition, knowing that it would be -slightly- smaller.
Unfortunately it's really only half the size of a standard one, and Hergé's scrawling text can be difficult to decipher in some of those shrunk images. It's also too small for two small children ( 3&5 y.o ) to share browsing through without butting heads.
Until the French editions become reasonably priced, I'll probably stick to the English paperbacks.

A Must-read for Tintin lovers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 August 2017

Another Herge/ Tintin classic, maybe the most iconic of the whole range.. A lovely way to practice French ( for non-native French speakers)...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 December 2011

Comes in a smart slip-case, and presented in the original comic format.

Colours are more subdued than the later standard book.

Superb, as it was originally presented - and intended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 July 2019

I should have read the reviews before purchasing. This book is small format, which is not clear in the description, making the text hard to read and the visuals lose their impact. Please update the description.

Tiny size and tiny text!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 February 2019

Bought this to help my son practice French, it wasn’t clear that the book is not the regular size but a smaller size. The text is actually really difficult to read! Be warned!

If You Only Buy One Tintin Book In French ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 August 2007

The book better known to English-speakers as Prisoners Of The Sun was originally published in Tintin magazine beginning in 1946, and this edition reproduces that version with the original colours, format and extras that are found only in that version. The book is notable for being printed in landscape orientation (unlike any other Tintin adventure) and apparently contains over three hundred illustrations that were later excised to produce the album version (and no, I didn't count them!).

If this is the first facsimile that you buy in the Tintin series (and almost all the original albums are now available, all in French) you will find that the paper has a matte finish and the colours more muted. Most readers agree that the books look better this way than the rather gaudy, primary-colour versions of the 1960s and 1970s that are reproduced with English text. That said, if you already own the books in English and are more comfortable reading them in that language then artistic considerations are probably not enough to justify rebuying the set in the numerous historical editions.

If, however, you are tempted to experience Tintin as it was first published, then I'd heartily suggest that you start here. It's a beautifully produced book, you get extra pages (including around twelve pages that close the first half of the story, published as The Seven Crystal Balls), and those with more advanced French can even read the boxout sections on the Incas that were added late in the story.
