{"product_id":"tintin-au-congo-de-papa","title":"Tintin in the Congo - Book","description":"Should we be afraid of *Tintin in the Congo*?\n\nFifty years after independence, Tintin's wild Congo is one of paternalism, the benevolent White man, colonial providence, and big game hunting. Hergé considered this missionary album a youthful indiscretion with sometimes cruel images. Yet, the mirror of stereotypes conceals a page of history, drawn with the deep sense of self-mockery common to both the Belgian and Congolese peoples. Between the panels, it reflects the image of Sir Leopard, the Belgian king with a dangerous voracity. Beyond the apparent fantasy of a make-believe Congo, Hergé connects with Africa. *Tintin in the Congo of yesteryear* traces back to the roots of this bestseller, which has sold ten million copies since 1931, through rare images from the Hergé Studios and the documentation center of the newspaper *Le Soir*.\n\n**Dimensions: 22 x 22 x 1 cm**","brand":"MOULINSART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50621325377864,"sku":"MOUL24212","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/2558\/9656\/files\/accueil-tintin-au-congo-de-papa-24212.webp?v=1749114956","url":"https:\/\/loiseaudeparadis.com\/en\/products\/tintin-au-congo-de-papa","provider":"L'Oiseau de Paradis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
