About this deal

The story explores Teresa’s new life as she navigates her own ambitions and career, but also juggles her romantic entanglement with Ruben, a carefree man who’s attitude towards life directly opposes hers. I swear to God, Teresea only makes faces that are equivalent to the 0_0 emoji, but the rest of the art makes up for it.

Par ailleurs, je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages et leur histoire d'amour m'a un peu laissée de glace. The muted color palleted and movement lines appropriately engage the written story, and I’d say if this was replaced by a different art style I may not have enjoyed the reading experience as much.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.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. Asides from the plot synopsis of the novel, the story itself doesn't mention that it's set in the year 2001 at all. This is a Berlin that doesn't fully exist anymore—where the squatters haven't been evicted, and you can tell the former East and West Berlin by the smell of coal, and war-torn (and Soviet) buildings are still being torn down and rebuilt. With the graphic novel Cinquemila chilometri al secondo (Coconino press, 2010) he won the Fauve d’Or award at the Angoulême Festival 2011. The beginning gave me a very Before Trilogy vibe, following a stranger impulsively and exploring an unknown city with them.

Selten habe ich eine so schöne Graphic Novel gelesen - am liebsten würde ich mir jeden zweiten Frame in Postergröße ausdrucken und an die Wand hängen, thank you very much.

Teresa has missed out on her chance at student housing, and before the day is out she has moved into Ruben’s dingy squat -- only temporarily, of course, but somehow, time passes, and she never leaves. Europe Comics was launched in 2015 in an effort by European publishers of graphic novels to more attention from the English-language market, and it’s unfortunate that they have just announced that they are shutting down. I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

She struggles with insomnia and when housing is hard to find she finds herself sharing a room with an artist named Ruben. The other story has an Italian woman named Teresa getting the opportunity of a lifetime to help an exhibition in Berlin of the Tutankhamen’s treasures in 2001. Personnellement, j’ai eu l’occasion de voir l’exposition Toutankhamon à Saint-Malo avec les objets retrouvés dans sa tombe. In 2001, Teresa is fresh off the plane in Berlin, ready to start what is, for her, the opportunity of a lifetime—an assistantship working on an exhibition of the treasures in that tomb.

The second, set at the turn of the 21st century, concerns twenty-year-old Teresa Guerrero, an Italian university student come to Berlin on a grant to work as scientific assistant at the state university’s installation of a Tutankhamen exhibit. I have a PhD with a dissertation on comics (Lisbon/Leuven) and I work professionally as a teacher, translator and curator. I had to go back and reread the plot synopsis to understand why the HELL there was a scene with 9/11 of all things!

In addition, the disclosure serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh the interests of all parties involved, in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art.I didn't get any point out of it or even really any story from it at all so I really don't have much to say at all! The archeological vibes were on point, and there was peace in the desert paintings while waiting for the tomb to reveal its secrets. Außerdem trifft sie Ruben, einen etwas verwahrlosten, linken Künstler, der von Zielstrebigkeit nicht besonders viel hält.
