A beautiful novel, with an interesting subject, that works just as well as a graphic novel as a prose one. I wish there had been a little more explanation/exploration of Karnau's experiments and what exactly happened to the Goebbels children graphic fiction/adaptation of historic novel by [a:Marcel Beyer|42791|Marcel Beyer|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png]--Karnau is a man obsessed with recording all kinds of sounds including those of people being tortured, agrees to work for Nazis in order to escape military duty, and eventually becomes familiar with Goebbel's family; the second narrative is told by Goebbel's 14/15-y.o. daughter Helga. I read to p. 152 but got tired of skimming over Karnau's exhaustive descriptions, and the disturbing circumstances. Helga's narrative is easier to read, but it's still a very grim story, takes a long time to develop, and given the subject and writing style, I'm not sure I can ever really get into it. I could maybe finish this another time (it's apparently well done for the story that it tells), but my faith in humanity is already pretty shaky right now (July 2020) and it's just too depressing for me to read at this time. Graphic novel based on a book by Marcel Beyer, about a German sound engineer during WWII who experiments with collecting sounds (including experiments on prisoners of the Nazis) and who interacts with the children (including a teen girl who is also a narrator) of a high-level Nazi propagandist until their ultimate downfall. Super, super depressing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Germany, in the final years of the Third Reich. Hermann Karnau is a sound engineer obsessed with recording the human voice in all its variations-the rantings of leaders, the roar of crowds, the rasp of throats constricted in fear-and indifferent to everything else. Employed by the Nazis, his assignments take him to party rallies, to the eastern front, and into the household of Joseph Goebbels. There he meets Helga, the eldest daughter- bright, good-natured, and just beginning to suspect the horror that surrounds her. Based on the acclaimed novel by Marcel Beyer, Voices in the Darkis the first graphic novel by the award-winning cartoonist Ulli Lust. It is the story of an unlikely friendship and of a childhood betrayed, a grim parable of naivete and evil, and a vivid, unsettling masterpiece of comics storytelling. As Germany descends into chaos, Helga's and Hermann's lives intertwine, then finally collide. In Hitler's Berlin bunker, with the Red Army closing in, Hermann receives his greatest assignment- recording the F hrer's final words-and the last moments of Helga and her family.
