FOREWORD,

Tintin au Congo first appeared as a sersl from 5 June 1890, over a
pariod of a year, in ‘Le Patt Vingtiéme", the children's supplement to the
Brussels newspaper "Le Vingtéme Siect". In 1831 the story was
published in book form by Les Edttions du Petit Vingtiéme and a few
months later by Evitions Casterman of Tournal. It is trem the formar
edition that the present book is presented in English translation,

In his portrayal of the Belgian Conga, the young Hergé reflects the
colonial atitudes of the time, He himself admitted that he depicted nis
Aricans according to the bourgeois, patemaistic stereotypes of the perios.
The same may be said of his treatment of big-game hunting and his
allituce towards animals.
