Haha wow I just spent a LONG time writing a LONG review and it vanished into nothing when I clicked to post it! Maybe I will attempt to reconstruct it from memory someday. The very short version: BERLIN is great, the first section is far and away the best, but I ended the book wishing it was twice as long. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Berlin is an intricate look at the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of its citizens--Marthe Müller, a young woman escaping the memory of a brother killed in World War I, Kurt Severing, an idealistic journalist losing faith in the printed word as fascism and extremism take hold; the Brauns, a family torn apart by poverty and politics. Lutes weaves these characters' lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart. The city itself is the central protagonist in this historical fiction. Lavish salons, crumbling sidewalks, dusty attics, and train stations: all these places come alive in Lutes' masterful hand. Weimar Berlin was the world's metropolis, where intellectualism, creativity, and sensuous liberal values thrived, and Lutes maps its tragic, inevitable decline. Devastatingly relevant and beautifully told, Berlin is one of the great epics of the comics medium."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is a graphic novel about a changing Berlin. How the city changes the people, and how the people change the city. A decade after World War One, the people are struggling, but managing to get by. Different social groups are claiming to want to help the people, and do help those that support them. But each group is attached to political power, that persecutes those who support other groups. Using violent means, that escalates violence. Sometimes purposefully instigating violence, to show how effectively a group can create order to use as propaganda. People join the groups because of their claims, to better their lives, but often do not know the hidden political agendas that threaten them. There are also those who want to maintain neutrality, those who seek to understand what is happening and seek to expose corruption. They are often silenced. As persecution escalates, people leave the city. Families are broken up.
The story is told from diverse perspectives, and how the diverse characters interact. Representative of Berlin’s diverse culture and vibrant communities. Showing the gradual changes that turned a diverse and tolerant city into a city of repression. Showing how decent people can be turned, and join groups that are against their own interests. A story containing philosophy, politics, and various ways to treat others. Showing the hidden and public ways how people respond differently to social situations.
Caveats?
As a graphic novel, the images can sometimes be confusing, and some writing hard to decipher. There are also images inappropriate for younger audiences. ( )
