As a recent review in Publisher’s Weekly put it, “Those who lament the dearth of books about Tintin in English will welcome this translation of a landmark French study, first published in 1984.” The book The Metamorphoses of Tintin: Or Tintin for Adults by Jean-Marie Apostolidès (translated by Jocelyn Hay) revives the memory of Tintin in an analysis of the complex cartoon character.
Apostolidès examines the evolution of the character from political, social, and psychological standpoints. The book recounts Tintin’s famous adventures, all the while telling the reader how each one changed and developed Tintin into the character he became. From a superhero to an emotional and humanistic character, this tale of metamorphosis not only brings Tintin back to the literary scene but also into the latest English translation of this versatile character.
Tintin's adventures are always exciting and good to get some inspiration.It is very popular character as per his versatility.It's pleasure for Tintin's english fans to get this book in their own language.
