Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt
This new facsimile reprint of the very first adventure of one of the world’s most beloved cartoon characters shows Tintin’s creator，the famed Belgian cartoonist Herge，just beginning to learn his craft。 The story was originally created in 1929 for a children’s supplement in the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle。 Readers meet Tintin，intrepid red-headed boy reporter，along with his dog，for the first time as they set off to Russia to investigate the evil doings of the Soviets。 Herg later apologized for the heavy-handed anti-Soviet satire on almost every page。 The Soviets are generally portrayed as corn-stealing murderous scum； among other things，Tintin is tortured by thoroughly caricatured Chinese employees of the Soviet secret police。 These stereotypes and others like them are a part of that time period，although they’ve been cited as evidence of Herge’s racism。 Setting aside the political context，the book is a valuable documentation of the rough and underdeveloped work
