Description

When a mysterious Indigenous statue disappears from a museum, Tintin and Snowy embark on a pursuit that carries them across the Atlantic and deep into the turbulent landscapes of South America. Their investigation draws them into political upheaval, treacherous wilderness, and a web of deception surrounding the statue’s distinctive broken ear. Blending fast-paced adventure, sharp observation, and comic ingenuity, the story explores the allure of antiquities, cultural misunderstanding, and the risks of pursuing truth in unfamiliar territory.
