    Die Juwelen der Sängerin last edited by Grax on 10/06/23 01:12PM View full history

    Frühling auf Schloß Mühlenhof! Tim und Kapitän Haddock wollen sich bei ein paar ausgedehnten Spaziergängen von ihren Abenteuern erholen, und Professor Bienlein findet endlich Zeit für seine geliebte Rosenzucht. Aber als plötzlich und unangemeldet die berühmte Operndiva Bianca Castafiore und ihr Gefolge Einzug halten, ist es mit der himmlischen Ruhe vorbei. Zu allem Überfluß scheint die schrille Sängerin wild entschlossen zu sein, ausgerechnet Kapitän Haddock in den Hafen der Ehe zu lotsen...

    Conceived as a narrative exercise, Hergé wanted to see if he could maintain suspense throughout sixty-two pages of story with no villains, exotic locations, guns or danger, and with a clearly deceptive solution.

    Consequently it is a story rich in comic setpieces, red herrings, mistaken interpretations, false tracks, pseudo-disappearances, and colourful characters.

    This is the only Tintin story in which the characters remain at their home at Marlinspike Hall and do not venture to another part of the world.
