About this deal

Personally, there wasn't enough context for their relationship to make it feel fully fleshed out or an integral part of the overall narrative. Wer also Bock hat auf ein bisschen altes Ägypten und alternative Berliner Szene um die Jahrtausendwende, der ist in "Hypericum" bestens aufgehoben.

It's 2001, and Teresa, a young Italian suffering from insomnia and a generally fragile state of mind, has just arrived in Berlin with a grant to help organize an exhibit of Tutankhamen's treasure. She struggles with insomnia and when housing is hard to find she finds herself sharing a room with an artist named Ruben. b GDPR, we will pass on your data to a commissioned collection company if our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. One in which she's a hardworking and high achieving professional in her field; and another in which she's is living in a squat with a man named Ruben after meeting him on her first day in Berlin, and about whom she knows little, other than that his carefree and roaming spirit is the exact opposite of her's.Con Hypericon, come già fatto in Cinquemila chilometri al secondo, Manuele Fior ritorna a raccontare le vibrazioni della giovinezza, le inquietudini del cuore, i legami più forti dello scorrere del tempo. I won't lie, I did sigh and think to myself "Here we go again with the French obsession with sex and shoving it in all of their comics". Parts of this, then, I really liked, like the view of punk Berlin and the look at the excavation (in particular, I loved the way the tomb map repeats throughout the story, getting more detailed as the excavation team learns more).

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.Pensava que Manuele Fior no podria superar el que va fer a Celestia, però sense cap dubte ho ha fet, i amb una solvència i una intensitat que fan feredat. I don't have many thoughts on this except that I liked the art style and that I found the storyline boring/pretentious/incredibly lacking? Als Teresas nach Berlin geladen wird, um als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin bei der Tutanchamun-Ausstellung mitzuarbeiten, hat die junge Frau ein weiteres Ziel in ihrem Leben erreicht. As a child, I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt and thus by proxy, the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. But I don't really understand Teresa and Ruben, both of whom do get something akin to personality grafts near the end of the book, and whose relationship seems largely based on (quite explicit) sex.

In allem, was sie tut, ist sie bisher die beste gewesen - entsprechend gewissenhaft bereitet sie sich auf die Ausstellung zum Grab Tutanchamuns vor, die sie in den kommenden Monaten begleiten wird. This graphic novel follows Teresa, a scholar who travels to Berlin for an exhibition on Tutankhamen’s tomb. Thank you to NetGalley and Fantagraphics Books for the temporary ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies. For him, as for many of his contemporaries, Berlin in the late 1990s is a magical labyrinth in which getting lost is easy and fun.I didn't get what all this meant, I didn't get where the plot was going, I didn't get the purpose of the book and I didn't get the whole Egypt parallelism. I did find the flips between Teresa's present and the other archeologist team in the 1920s to be interesting, but it took me reading the synopsis to realize the perspective switch was supposed to be what Teresa reading in her book. Quan va caure a les meves mans Celestia del mateix autor vaig quedar fascinat; fins al punt que vaig comprar-ne dos exemplars —el que vaig llegir l'havia agafat de la biblioteca—, un per mi i un per regalar.

Es nota en els personatges, però es nota sobretot en l'arquitectura i els espais berlinesos, que brillen amb llum pròpia sota el prisma de l'autor.

And lastly, I'm guessing that the author intended there to be significance in Teressa finally overcoming her chronic insomnia and being able to sleep through the TV coverage of a major world event (no spoilers, but I'm sure that you can guess). The Egyptians (the author says) perceived the future as being behind them and the past ahead of them, and this is why they buried their kings for eternity.
