Interpretation To Books The Broken Ear (Tintin #6)
The Broken Ear is probably the adventure of Tintin that I know the least well. What for? Probably because this is the last album I had in my possession and so it could not dethrone my favourites of the series...So here is an adventure, which, for once, begins in Belgium. A fetish has been stolen from the ethnographic museum and Tintin will soon embark on the trail of the alleged thieves.
I couldn't help but smile when I took this album when I saw the parrot! Hergé likes these birds and besides, they are always very characteristic!!
As our young reporter is a great traveller, we'll meet him at the San Theodoros. He'll find himself helping the current general's camp as the revolutions and civil war reigns there. General Alcazar, who will be found in other albums, is for the moment quite imbued with himself and quite stuffed ... It's not yet the friendly guerrillas, (finally Picaro ), found in the last album of the series. For now, he is above all a tyrant, who is quite receptive to the attempts of the arms dealer Basil Bazaroff ...
Tintin will have to overcome many dangers and especially avoid the duo who swore his loss before succeeding in elucidating the mystery of the fetish with a broken ear...

Ah, Tintin. It's been a while since I have read one of his adventures. I have picked up a few in the last few years aiming to get around to them one day. I guess like a lot of people, I first came across Tintin in the local library. They had 5 or 6 that were hot items in my day. If you saw one you hadn't read yet you had to snap that one up real quick because you may not see it again for months on end. So I started with the earliest story I own, 'The Broken Ear'. When a South American idol isWhen you read these comics by the French Herge it is easy to see how the influence of these comics have had on the likes of Spielberg and Lucas. These adventures can easily be projected upon the Indiana Jones adventures which also concern a globetrotting hero who gets involved in cases that steer clear of the normal human. In this one Tintin gets involved in the theft of a South American fetish or statue with a broken ear. It involves a parrot who knows the perpetrator of the murder of a
Tintin...one of my favorite comic-series, the graphics are so cute!

This is a strange entry in the Tintin series. Much of it was not that fun, but there were some moments that, added up, nearly earned it three stars. As regards its lesser qualities, there wasn't a whole lot I found visually interesting, there were quite a few denser-than-usual speech bubbles, the villains were lame, whose accented dialogue was annoying to read, and much of the story jumps around too randomly - even for a Tintin comic. Tintin himself, at least during the first half, comes across
3.5 stars.Tintin is shown less superhero like in his fighting powers than in the last two books. This helps to enjoy the story better.A nice mix of detective story and screwball scenes.
My review, as posted in Tintin BooksFor his sixth "Tintin" work, Hergé continued his character's trips to far-flung societies, in this case South America. As with Tintin in America and The Blue Lotus, Herge sought to incorporate thinly-veiled political tensions. As such, San Theodoros is at war partly due to the machinations of big oil companies from superpower nations.The story remains picaresque, leading Tintin through several smaller episodes which are tied together by an overarching plot,
