Cigars of the Pharaoh: Egypt and India

Hot on the trail of opium smugglers, Tintin travels across Egypt and India visiting Port Said, Cairo, Ancient Egyptian tombs, the Pyramids and the Red Sea. He explores a jungle and discovers a herd of elephants. As the adventure progresses the brave reporter narrowly escapes being poisoned and going mad, meets an eccentric archaeologist and comes to the rescue of a Maharaja whose life is in grave danger. Cigars of the Pharaoh is an action-packed adventure which was also one of Hergé's first books. The author was 27 years old when the first edition of the book was published in 1934. The story marked a turning point in the young illustrator's career, after which Tintin's adventures became suffused with fantasy, mystery and suspense.

Tintin in Tibet: Nepal
Season 1Episode 545 min

Tintin in Tibet: Nepal

Tintin decides to go in search of Chang, who has disappeared in an aeroplane crash in Nepal. Along with his faithful friends Captain Haddock and Snowy, the heroic reporter leads a gruelling mission through the peaks of the Himalayas. This adventure was written during a period of great change in Hergé's life and career. Twenty-five years after his meeting with Chang Chong-chen, Hergé was going through a difficult period in his life and often thought of his friend. During the troubled war years he had lost all trace of Chang and was desperate to make contact with him again. Although Hergé had no luck, Tintin eventually manages, against all the odds, to find his friend. Throughout the story there are no baddies, nor are there any car chases or madcap events: the narrative is kept bare and essential. This was Hergé's favourite book, and was probably the most personal adventure for the author.
