In this anniversary portrait Michael Farr reveals the complex
personality of Herge, the remarkable artist behind Tintin, the boy
reporter who continues to thrill and delight an ever-widening
audience. In seven separate sketches Farr presents a picture of a
man whose life is the key to his creation.
First introduced in 1929, The Adventures of Tinin remains a
constant source of reference throughout this new book, which draws
on fresh material found in the extensive archive of Studios Herge,
and from interviews with those who knew Herge intimately.
Generously illustrated, it examines the life and passions of a man
who, despite his international fame, preferred to avoid the
limelight, finding inspiration in modern art, the latest scientific
developments and world affairs, and seeking enlightenment in Zen
Buddhism and philosophy. It considers his role as the European
pioneer of the strip cartoon, and establishes his role developing
contemporary cinema. Steven Spielberg - the one filmmaker Herge
believed could successfully bring Tintin to the large screen
