Abstract:
|
"Berlin" is a graphic novel that portrays life in the German capital during the Weimar Republic, a period of intense social, political, and cultural activity before the rise of fascism. Through the intersecting stories of various Berlin residents, Jason Lutes brings to life the city's vibrancy and its eventual downfall, emphasizing the tension between creativity, freedom, and oppression. The novel captures the spirit of the Jazz Age and the looming threat of Nazi power.
