CALCULUS AFFAIR, The ; The Adventures of Tintin (L'affaire Tournesol)
Vendeur : Elizabeth's Bookshops, Fremantle, WA, Australie
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Softcover. Etat : Very Good. The Calculus Affair (1956) or âhow scientific inventions can serve humanity without being coveted by military powersâ: in the tense climate of the Cold War, this new adventure takes Tintin back to Syldavia and Borduria. After inventing an ultrasound machine, Professor Calculus has been kidnapped. Jolyon Wagg, an insurance sales rep makes his entrance in this episode. He will reveal himself as the perfect nuisance.Thrilling chase, surprises, old friends getting back together, headlong fights ⦠all this for a stake which seems limited to an ordinary umbrella: this is probably the most âdetective-likeâ episode of the series.The Calculus AffairÂ(French:ÂL'Affaire Tournesol) is the eighteenth volume ofÂThe Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by theÂBelgianÂcartoonistÂHergà . It wasÂserialisedÂweekly in Belgium'sÂTintinÂmagazine from December 1954 to February 1956 before being published in a single volume byÂCastermanÂin 1956. The story follows the attempts of the young reporterÂTintin, his dogÂSnowy, and his friendÂCaptain HaddockÂto rescue their friendÂProfessor Calculus, who has developed a machine capable of destroying objects withÂsound waves, from kidnapping attempts by the competingÂEuropeanÂcountries ofÂBorduriaÂandÂSyldavia.Like the previous volume,ÂExplorers on the Moon,ÂThe Calculus AffairÂwas created with the aid of the Hergà 's team of artists atÂStudios Hergà . The story reflected theÂCold WarÂtensions that Europe was experiencing during the 1950s, and introduced three recurring characters into the series:ÂJolyon Wagg,ÂCutts the Butcher, andÂColonel Sponsz. Hergà continuedÂThe Adventures of TintinÂwithÂThe Red Sea Sharks, and the series as a whole became a defining part of theÂFranco-Belgian comics tradition.ÂThe Calculus AffairÂwas critically well-received, with various commentators having described it as one of the best Tintin adventures. The story was adapted for both the 1957ÂBelvisionÂanimated seriesÂHergà 's Adventures of Tintin, the 1991ÂEllipse/NelvanaÂanimated seriesÂThe Adventures of Tintin, and the 1992-3ÂBBC Radio 5Âdramatisation of theÂAdventures.During aÂthunderstorm, glass and porcelain items atÂMarlinspike HallÂshatter inexplicably. Insurance salesmanÂJolyon WaggÂarrives at the house to take shelter, annoying Captain Haddock. Gunshots are heard in the Hall's grounds, and Tintin and Haddock discover a wounded man with a foreign accent who soon disappears. The next morning, Professor Calculus leaves forÂGenevaÂto attend a conference onÂnuclear physics. Tintin and Haddock use the opportunity to investigate Calculus' laboratory, there discovering that his experiments were responsible for the glass-shattering of the previous night. While exploring, they are attacked by a stranger, who then escapes. While escaping, Snowy rips the stranger's coat only for a cigarette packet to fall off. On the packet, the name of "Hotel Cornavin, Geneva" where Calculus stays was written on it. Tintin feared that Calculus is in danger. Tintin, Haddock, and Snowy head for Geneva. In Geneva, they learn that Calculus has gone toÂNyonÂto meetÂProfessor Topolino, an expert inÂultrasonics. The group travel there in a taxi, but their car is attacked by two men in another car, who force the taxi intoÂLake Geneva. Surviving the attack, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy continue to Nyon, where they find Topolino bound and gagged in his cellar. As Tintin questions the professor, the house blows up, but they all survive.[1]Tintin and Haddock meet the detectivesÂThomson and Thompson, who reveal that the wounded man at Marlinspike wasÂSyldavian. Tintin surmises that Calculus had invented an ultrasonic device capable of being used as a weapon of mass destruction, which both Syldavian and Bordurian intelligence agents are now seeking to obtain. Discovering that Bordurian spies have kidnapped Calculus and are holding him hostage in theirÂRolleÂembassy, Tintin and Haddock seek to rescue him, but during the attempt he is captured by Syldavian agents, who are able to escape by plane to their home country. The next morning, Tintin and Haddock learn that BordurianÂfighter aircraftÂforced down the Syldavian plane and captured Calculus, who is now being held in Borduria. They travel to Borduria's capital, Szohà d, intent on rescuing him.[2]In the city, they are escorted to their hotel by agents of the Bordurian secret police, who have been ordered by police chiefÂColonel SponszÂto monitor the duo. Aware that they are being monitored, Tintin and Haddock escape the hotel and hide in the opera house, whereÂBianca CastafioreÂis performing. When police come searching for them, they hide in Castafiore's closet. When Sponsz comes to visit Castafiore in her dressing room, Tintin is able to steal papers from his overcoat pocket that will secure Calculus' release from the fortress of Bakhine. After disguising themselves as officials from theÂRed Cross, Tintin and Haddock are able to get Calculus released from prison. During their escape, they drive off the road, but are able to steal a tank and narrowly escape across the border. Back at Marlinspike Hall, Jolyon Wagg moves his family in. Meanwhile, Calculus reveals that he forgot to take his plans for the ultrasonic device with him to Geneva, and that he had left them at home all along; he announces his intention to destroy the plans so they cannot be used to create a weapon.[3]ÂHaddock lights hisÂpipeÂwith the intention of smoking it, but Calculus uses it to burn the plans. Haddock's fit of rage over the plans literally burning up in his face leaves the hard-of-hearing Calculus believing that Haddock hasÂchickenpox; Calculus relays this to Wagg, who moves his family out of Marlinspike Hall to avoid a contagious disease.ReflectingÂCold WarÂtensions,ÂThe Calculus AffairÂwas published at a time when espionage thrillers were popular in France and Belgium.[4]Â[5]ÂThe Calculus AffairÂmarked a return to the single volume format which was to persist for the rest ofÂThe Adve.
