About this listen

In this episode, we dive into King Ottokar’s Sceptre, a politically charged thriller that takes Tintin to the heart of Eastern Europe. As he uncovers a plot to overthrow the monarchy of the fictional kingdom of Syldavia, Tintin finds himself caught in a web of espionage, sabotage, and royal intrigue. We’ll explore the real-world tensions that influenced this story, the rich detail of Hergé’s invented Balkan world, and how this adventure raises the stakes for Tintin like never before.
