Description :
More than forty years after Hergé's death, The Adventures of Tintin and their author continue to inspire the publication of numerous works. Tintinology and hergeology have gradually become rigorous disciplines. Yet even today, preconceived ideas circulate in the press, in books and in Tintinophile circles, even in texts approved by Hergé's heirs. With this in mind, Patrice Guérin has reviewed several hundred written, audiovisual and audio documents devoted to Tintin and Hergé, and selected 22 of the most common untruths. In as many short chapters, he compares the erroneous information with the facts.
