Tintin and the World of Herge: An Illustrated History (English, French and French Edition) Hardcover – January 1, 1992

Thank you , I received it, Iam happy for your business.

Excellent description & customer service!

with most of the reviewers that the book is not detailed enough. The author only dedicated a few pages to each Tintin book and I found myself turning the page to find that was all there was!However,1) Has a nice biography on Herge and doesn't spare the hard stuff - bon.2) Shows Herge's other work, which the other companion doesn't do (if it does I don't remember it.)3) Discusses the changes and updates the Tintins went though, the colorizations, etc.4) Very nice pictures, pictorials, etc.Summary: If you are a Tintin fan, you must get this, but it leaves you wanting more. It's very easy reading, I picked it up for some post prandial reading but found I couldn't stop(!) and read til the end. I also have Michael Farr's companion, but found that very hard reading and never finished it. I'm now going back to Michael Farr after reading this one. But this one is definitely a very nice read. Highly recommended!

thank u !

I have loved Tintin adventures for as long as I can remember. This book is an excellent supplement to my collection. Peeters provides Tintin fans with a book by book examination, a brief history of the life of Herge, and an interesting section chronicling lesser known works of the author/illustrator. The photos of Herge's developmental sketches, as well as real-life influences upon the books are fascinating. Peeters also provides valuable analysis into the creation of the books following a timeline of current events, both worldwide and those affecting Herge personally.I should mention that while I found this book fun and enjoyable, overall it was a bit lacking. While it is not intended as a biography of Herge, the synopsis on the author was brief, as it was for many of the books. I heartily recommend this book to Tintin lovers, but be prepared to walk away wanting more. Much like when you finish reading the 28 full length adventures of Tintin, and realize there will never be anymore to come.

"Tintin and the World of Herge" is fine in and of itself, but Farr's "Tintin: The Complete Companion" covers exactly the same ground, in much richer detail, and a much lower price. As such I would recommend the Farr book instead of this one.

This book is absolutely necessary for any Tintin-addict (like myself). It goes into certain depth about each Tintin adventure, and gives explanations for the origins of the characters, and the plots. It also explains things you never thought had any significance. I really enjoyed it, its truly enlightening, and it taught me alot about my childhood hero: Tintin.

I feel that the book was extremely informative, and if you are a true Tintin fan, you have to buy the book. The price is high, but it is well worth it. The author sure knows his stuff. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
