El Tirachinas
Ernst Junger
Synopsis "El Tirachinas"
The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge the pen name of Georges Remi (1907 1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtieme, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Herge's Tintin series continues to be a favorite of readers and critics alike 80 years later.The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other colorful supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont). Herge himself features in several of the comics as a background character; as do his assistants in some instances.The success of the series saw the serialized strips collected into a series of albums (24 in all), spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film and theatre. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in over 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date. The comic strip series has long been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herge's signature ligne claire style. Engaging, well-researched plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature slapstick humor, accompanied in later albums by sophisticated satire, and political and cultural commentary.
(Heidelberg, Alemania 1895 - Riedlingen, Alemania, 1998) Escritor, filósofo, soldado e historiador alemán. Incorporado como voluntario en la primera guerra mundial, fue herido varias veces y condecorado. En 1923 inició estudios de zoología y filosofía en la Universidad de Leipzig y, más tarde, se trasladó a Berlín, donde empezó a consolidar su carrera como escritor. En 1941 entró a formar parte del alto mando alemán en París, aunque un año después el régimen nazi prohibió la publicación de sus obras. Los diarios contenidos en Radiaciones I y II reflejan magistralmente la experiencia de esos difíciles años. Finalizada la guerra, Jünger combinó las estancias en la pequeña localidad suaba de Wilflingen con viajes por medio mundo y con la redacción de un conjunto de novelas, ensayos y diarios que le han convertido en uno de los testigos más lúcidos, apasionantes y controvertidos de nuestra época.
