Tintin in the Congo (The Adventures of Tintin): Collector's Edition

It's Tintin as it was - which needs to have the warnings that are included on the cover and description.While most of the collected Tintin works are described as complete, this particular volume is excluded. This is because it represents the attitude of European society at the time of writing towards Africa and it's people, the roles of missionaries, and around game hunting.Personally, I think they way the book is presented is correct - acknowledge that it represents what was, and that it is no longer appropriate in modern society, but also don't hide it away,. Use it as a learning opportunity to improve current perspectives.

Good Item!! Says as described.

Perhaps on the expensive sideGreat story

An original comic true how it was written we can’t erase history but learn from it

Takes you back !

Bought to complete the collection of Tintin stories. This graphic novel is delightful

As the introduction makes clear it’s of its time and very much not PC from any number of angles. But nonetheless a classic Tintin story that any completionist should read so as not to leave them traumatised from not having read all the books.

Not a great storyline, but nevertheless it is still a tintin. The book was delivered promptly and came in very good condition.
