After nearly a few years popular with his
book series, Hergé, the
Belgian artist who also the author of Tintin's adventures had been inspiring a
lot of people with his ellegant illustration and his storyline in his book.The
Secret of the Unicorn (French: Le Secret de La Licorne) is the eleventh volume
of The Adventures of Tintin which is a combination of 3 others book by Hergé. Actually, when I was little, I had read every single
Tintin book, and even collected them in my room.
A Short-Summary:
It all started when Tintin bought a marvelously detailed model
ship called the Unicorn, a large ship from the 1600s, in an outdoor European
market. That’s when the trouble started.
Ivan Sakharine, an ominous-looking man immediately asks to buy the ship from
Tintin. Tintin refuses and returns home with the ship, but Snowy breaks it,
revealing a parchment scroll hidden in the mast. Tintin investigates the scroll
and finds that there are two more scrolls, which can piece together the secret
of the Unicorn, which was sunk a long time ago.
But, Sakharine and his henchmen are after the scrolls, so they
kidnap Tintin and imprison him on the SS Karaboudjan, a large ship that is
searching for the Unicorn. Tintin escapes and meets the drunken captain of the
ship, Haddock, who is unaware of the criminals aboard his ship. Tintin soon
finds that Haddock is the descendant of Sir Francis Haddock, the captain of the
sunken Unicorn. The mystery of the sunken ship deepens with every puzzling clue
they find, and Tintin and Haddock have to evade the dangerous Sakharine while
discovering the truth behind the secret cargo.
