Dalam petualangan Tintin kali ini, kita diajak berpetualangan mulai dari rumahnya sendiri di Belgia hingga ke pedalaman Amerika Selatan. Tintin tergugah untuk menyelidiki raibnya patung langka suku Arumbaya yang dipamerkan di museum Etnografi Belgia. Walau esoknya patung itu telah kembali berada di museum namun berkat pengamatan Tintin yang jeli, terbukti bahwa patung tersebut adalah palsu karena patung yang asli memiliki kuping yang belah.

As much as I enjoyed this book, I had to conclude that Tintin is a bloody terrible journalist. At first he investigates the theft of a South American Indian artifact and tails its thieves to their home country. So far so good. Then he gets arrested and faces a firing squad, but is saved by a revolution and through improbable chance finds himself as a colonel and personal aide to the new presidente. Any journalist in his position would start filing stories on their inside view of the new regime, ...more
Changement d'ambiance : après la Chine, l'Amérique du Sud.
Excellent album. Il y a un côté un peu déceptif : on attend des aventures chez d'exotique tribus amérindiennes, et on se trouve coincés dans une dictature militaire pendant la majorité de l'album, avant de croiser les Arumbayas pendant très peu de temps. Le récit se développe de façon bizarre, avec toute une période de "stagnation" où Tintin devient colonel du général Alcazar (!) puis une accélération vers la fin, où le mys...more

My review, as posted in Tintin Books
For his sixth "Tintin" work, Hergé continued his character's trips to far-flung societies, in this case South America. As with Tintin in America and The Blue Lotus, Herge sought to incorporate thinly-veiled political tensions. As such, San Theodoros is at war partly due to the machinations of big oil companies from superpower nations.
The story remains picaresque, leading Tintin through several smaller episodes which are tied toget...more

Very interesting plot as usual!! Looks like this episode is on the phase where the entire adventures of tintin has took a greater leap forward! Before this episode, the adventures were more of a luck rather than a true one!! The acumen nature of tintin was very well described here and I found this book as the first of all!!
However, at most parts the plot was completely irrelevant! I felt bored at few pages in the middle!! There are some loose ends which are left alone!! I can say tha...more

This is not one of the better Tintin books. The illustration makes it very apparent that this is one of the earlier books. I find the story line to be rather choppy. This book was also penned before the introduction of Captain Haddock or Professor Calculus; even the Thompson Twins do not have much depth to them. It is noteworthy that General Alcazar makes his first appearance in this adventure. This book should be read before Herge's final Tintin adventure, Tintin and the Picaros, which in some ...more
Since I'm taking French again, I thought it was a must to read Tintin in the original. I can't really evaluate Tintin properly unless the Milou is the dog's name and he's saying "wouah" not 'woof'.
I still like Tintin, as it turns out, but I never noticed before how little Tintin has to do with his own survival during these escapades. He is always about to get killed and then he escapes completely by chance. He has a firing squad try to execute him three times in this particular ...more

C'est à mon avis un des moins solides dans les aventures de Tintin. J'ai bien ri lors des parties où le héros est engagé comme colonel par Alcazar. Pour le reste, c'est un peu ennuyant. On a l'impression que Tintin a une obsession sur le fétiche amérindien et qu'il n'en démord pas. Le seul point positif est l'introduction de Pablo et Alcazar que l'on verra dans d'autres aventures.
Last year when I was waiting for the new library to open I went through a Tin Tin phase. Before the old library closed, I checked out all the Tin Tins I could. I already have most of those book reviewed but The Broken Ear slipped through the cracks. So here we are a year later.

This story is an improvement over the first I read, but Herge’s plot is still not good. It begins well, but meanders off to incidents that lack coherence and becomes repetative. The tone is light and pleasant, and the art a mix if lovely images and lumpy storytelling. On balance, this is an enjoyable book for a non-fan such as me, but I wish it were quite a bit better.
Après la Chine, voici Tintin en Amérique du sud sur les traces d'une mystérieuse statuette.
Révolutions, coup d'état, rencontres avec des tribus en tout genre et lutte avec de sombres truands sont au programme de cet épisode.
Très réussi, le suspens restant jusqu'à la toute fin.

Siis kuinka monta ihmepelastumista voikaan yhdessä kirjassa olla? Pitäis varmaan laskea seuraavalla lukukerralla. Sopii silti hyvin kesäisiin lukuhetkiin riippumatossa, vaikkei olekaan Tintti parhaasta päästä.

A trip to a mysterious tribe of Indians, all because of a stolen, and replaced statue in the museum. Tintin follows this case with extreme passion meeting old friends along the way.
While there were plenty of fun and humorous moments, I was a bit disappointed with THE BROKEN EAR. The story is overly complicated, and the resolution feels rushed and anticlimactic. Worth reading, but not one I'd recommend to the casual Tintin fan.
Snowy the dog is drunk most of this book, best part. Another treasure hunt which could be good or bad. Not a real fan of this one.
While a fun experience with a more connected plot, this comic book is not as nice as The Blue Lotus.
The ending of this was pretty disappointing, but it's still Tintin.
cccccccccccccccbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Things just seem to work out well for old Tintin.
tetap lucu, apalagi pas snowy berkali-kali ekornya kecelakaaan :))
Fantastico!
Quite a weak plot for Tintin.
Interesting plot ;)
good
I love the Adventures of Tin Tin. I have reread many of the stories over and over again.
Cute little story... as are all Tintin books....
Inilah buku seri Tintin yang pertama aku dapat. Aku masih ingat betul, waktu itu kakak ku dengan setia membacakannya hingga tamat. Maklum saja, saat itu masih duduk di TK, tapi rasa ingin tahu ku tinggi lho. Soalnya buku Tintin sangat menarik lantaran penuh warna. Apalagi ada anjing Snowy yang lucu.
another treasure hunt - quite a modern one, running after cultural artifacts... did i note a cynicism in here..
Buku Tintin Kedua yang gue punya. Jaman ini mulai siwer antara Tintin dan Rintintin hehehe
