Comics for literature enthusiasts? Of course they are!

Graphic novels are illustrated novels that are often not only a visual delight, but also make the reception of novels and even specialist books a special experience. While the original text is reduced to the essentials, pictures convey moods and background information. Does this also work with classic literature? Find out!

Political portraits are shown in the graphic novels Rosa: the graphic novel about Rosa Luxemburg and Engels: Entrepreneur & Revolutionary.

A special recommendation is the comic Irmina by Barbara Yelin, which is based on the biography of her own grandmother and tells a story about being a follower and looking the other way during National Socialism.

There are also non-fiction books in comic format, such as Economix: how our economy works (or doesn't) - an introduction to economic history by Michael Goodwin, illustrated by Dan E. Burr, or the science comics by Steve Haines: Angst ist ziemlich strange, Schmerz ist ziemlich strange and Trauma ist ziemlich strange (Zweigbibliothek Görlitz).
