Publisher Description
“The Seven Crystal Balls, where Castafiore and Alcazar return …” –Hergé
Inca king Rascar Capac's mummy seems to cast a curse on all those who try to seize it. Tintin makes this discovery under dramatic circumstances and—even worse!—Calculus is abducted by the Sun worshippers.
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.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding!
New translations are fine. Love reading these on my iPad.
Retranslated ! Do not buy!
These books have been retranslated! The iBooks description does not attest to that. I bought five albums, just to discover that they've all been redone... Just horrible. This isn't the Tintin I love and admire. Of course, I have asked for a refund. I am not a purist by any stretch of the imagination, but the translation is pedestrian at best, and robs the story of flavor and edginess that was the hallmark of some characters like Haddock. :/ Very disappointed indeed.
