Description
Berlin is a masterful work of historical fiction that brings to life the vibrant city of Weimar Germany in the years leading up to the rise of fascism. Jason Lutes' meticulously researched and beautifully drawn graphic novel weaves together the stories of several characters, including Marthe Müller, Kurt Severing, and the Brauns, to create a rich and compassionate portrait of a society in crisis.
The city itself is the central protagonist of this epic tale, with its lavish salons, crumbling sidewalks, and dusty attics all coming alive in Lutes' skilled hand. Weimar Berlin was a world of intellectualism, creativity, and sensuous liberal values, but Lutes maps its tragic and inevitable decline with devastating relevance and beauty.
This is a devastatingly relevant and beautifully told story that is sure to appeal to readers of historical fiction and comics alike. With its intricate characters, well-researched historical detail, and masterful storytelling, Berlin is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the golden age of the graphic novel.
