 | Orientalism, the Balkans, and Balkan Historiography | The American Historical Review, 105.4 | The History Cooperative
In King Ottokar's Sceptre, Tintin finds himself in southeastern Europe in the fictive "Syldavia," next to the similarly invented "Borduria," at war with anarchists, corrupt military police, mustachioed fez-wearing bandits, and all manner of narghile-smoking Balkan buffoons.
The apparent absurd confusion of Balkan history is lampooned in Hergé's faux chronicle of Syldavia, which Tintin eagerly reads as he flies in over the mountains: "In 1275 the people of Syldavia rose against the Bordurians, and in 1277 the revolutionary leader, Baron Almaszout, was proclaimed King.
He adopted the title of Ottokar the First, but should not be confused with Premysl Ottokar the First, the duke who became King of Bohemia in the XII century."
