ABOUT THE BOOK: LE LOTUS BLEU

“Le Lotus Bleu” (The Blue Lotus) is the fifth captivating adventure in “The Adventures of Tintin” series, created by the renowned Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Originally published in 1936, this story marks a significant turning point in the series, known for its detailed research and rich cultural setting.

In “Le Lotus Bleu,” Tintin finds himself drawn into a complex web of international intrigue and danger in the Far East. Following his adventures in India from the previous story, “Cigars of the Pharaoh,” Tintin travels to China to investigate a mysterious case involving drug smuggling and political unrest. Set against the backdrop of Shanghai in the 1930s, the narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and justice, as Tintin allies with the young Chinese boy Chang and confronts the evils of the opium trade.

Hergé’s commitment to authenticity shines through in this book, with meticulous attention to cultural and historical accuracy, achieved through his collaboration with a Chinese art student, Chang Chong-jen. This adventure is noted for its vibrant illustrations, compelling storyline, and the introduction of memorable characters, including the villainous Mitsuhirato and the kind-hearted Wang Chen-Yee.
