Product Information

In Berlin, Teresa quickly develops a double life: in one life, she is a high-achieving, motivated professional, the consummate employee. Meravigliosi i disegni sulla scoperta della tomba di Tutankhamon del 1922, molto vera la storia di Teresa, piena di nostalgia e malinconia la descrizione della Berlino degli anni '90 piena di speranza.

Jahrhunderts und der Anbruch des neuen Jahrtausends werden in der Graphic Novel «Hypericum» von Manuele Fior in wunderschönen Bildern zusammengebracht. I have a PhD with a dissertation on comics (Lisbon/Leuven) and I work professionally as a teacher, translator and curator. dual story of an archeologist discovering an Egyptian tomb and a grad student with insomnia in Germany who meets a pretentious man child and has a lot of sex. E non è un caso se è stata scelta proprio lei, come assistente scientifica per l’allestimento della grande mostra a Berlino del tesoro di Tutankhamen. On the other hand, an almost random meeting with another Italian living in Berlin, Ruben, will throw Teresa into a maelstrom of passion, crisis and a non-bourgeois lifestyle that clashes with her more professional, normative and linear aspirations.Posteriorment, vaig agafar prestat La entrevista, que també em va agradar molt, però amb el qual no vaig arribar a connectar de la mateixa manera. And on her fist day in the city, she meets Ruben, an artist her age, also Italian, who has been in Berlin for two years, living off the checks his father sends every month and not accomplishing very much. Wenn man (wie ich zur Zeit) in einem mittelschweren Reading Slump steckt, ist ja weniges angenehmer als die Lektüre einer richtig schönen Graphic Novel. 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).

The ending kind of threw me though, I sort of expected something different I guess, or maybe a bit more tension. Overall, a very enjoyable read in which my only critiques are that some connections felt like they were included a little more as asides than subtly interwoven threads - especially the namesake plant which felt thrown in at the end of the story versus having been woven into the text earlier. As they explore the new city together, the romantic connection feels like an escape from responsibilities. 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. 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.This graphic novel follows Teresa, a scholar who travels to Berlin for an exhibition on Tutankhamen’s tomb.
