Stetter, Moritz. Luther. Gütersloh: Gütersloher Verlag, 2013.
ISBN-13: 978-3-579-07054-4
Sample Text: From the first two pages: “Dies ist die Geschichte eines jungen Studenten, der sich auf dem Rückweg von einem Semesterurlaub bei den Eltern befindet. Er hat gerade mit Bravour die Magisterwürde erworben. Eine glänzende Zukunft als Jurist wartet auf ihn. Der Vater hat ihm eine ehrbare und reiche Heirat arrangiert.”
This book offers a graphic novel version of Martin Luther’s biography. It also contains short biographical sketches of other primary religious contemporaries. Much more than just a biographical account, the author/illustrator offers distinct and extremely compelling illustrations of key turning points or personal revelations in Luther’s life. For example, when he struggles with his own sin, the author depicts Luther wrestling with an oversized dark figure. His depictions of hell and demons are fittingly grotesque and disturbing. The author/illustrator is also not afraid to portray Luther’s legendary crudeness and vulgarity. Many pictures show various types of bodily functions or sins of the flesh.
It would be valuable to use because it really offers compelling images of Luther’s strongest convictions and how he struggled with them every day.
Radio Interview with Stetter on Deutschlandfunk
A lot of valuable biographical information about the reformer and an impressive artistic interpretation. Nudity and depictions of urination, defecation and vomiting.
A valuable thing you currently have at this site! I simply love how it is simple and easy on my eyesight in addition to details are well crafted. I am just wondering how I could possibly be alerted anytime a latest blog post has been produced. I have gone ahead and subscribed to the feed that should probably do the job! As an old school creator of comic books for over Twenty years, I have a tendency to look at the art first when searching for a narrative. In spite of the subject matter, a great story is elevated by fantastic artwork that propels the narrative forward. I think the thing I like most when it comes to graphic novels and comics is the longevity of the medium. This one is worth passing on, I’ve decided to bookmark https://germangraphicnovel.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/luther/ at SlashDot.com in order that others in my field can understand it too. I basically just employed Luther | The German Graphic Novel as the blog heading within my favorite, because I figured since it’s well enough as the headline of your blog post that, then you most probably choose to see it saved the same way.
