Description
One of the most iconic characters in children’s books
Join the world’s most famous travelling reporter in his exciting adventures investigating smugglers in the two-part story Cigars of the Pharaoh and The Blue Lotus, then travel into the depths of the rainforest in The Broken Ear.
The second of eight volumes containing Hergé’s best-loved adventure stories, with three thrilling mysteries:
Cigars of the Pharaoh
On the hunt for an Egyptologist and a mysterious ancient pharaoh, Tintin scours Egypt and India. He makes friends with elephants, narrowly avoids falling victim to the poison of madness, and saves a maharajah from a killer tiger.
The Blue Lotus
In India, Tintin gets drawn into a dangerous mystery revolving around a madness-inducing poison. He traces its origins to Shanghai and a nefarious web of opium traffickers. But can he outwit the crooks?
The Broken Ear
The Arumbaya fetish has been stolen! But with the help of a talking parrot, Tintin is soon on the hunt for the famous artefact, which can be distinguished by its broken ear. He must solve a murder and discover the true value of the fetish, and quick – because he is not the only one on the trail!
Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on extraordinary adventures spanning historical and political events. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011.
The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then, more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.
Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years, he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Adventures of Tintin Volume 2 by Hergé is celebrated for introducing young readers to a complex world through thrilling, global adventures. Revered by figures like Steven Spielberg and listed among top children's books by Time Out, it inspires with its stories of a young reporter's epic quests. The series also holds a significant place in the childhood nostalgia of various authors and public figures, underscoring its broad appeal and timeless charm.

About the Author
Herge (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. His pseudonym comes from his initials backwards (R.G., as pronounced in French). Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.
