With the National Socialist party now controlling Parliament, the citizenry becomes even more divided. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLutes steps back from the larger political upheaval, using the intertwining lives of a small group of Germans to zero in on the rise of fascism and how swiftly it can replace democracy. The idle rich, the na ve bourgeoisie, and the struggling lower classes: all seek meaning in the warring political factions dividing their nation. He especially focuses on the Brauns--a working-class family torn apart by a political system that doesn't care about them. Lovers couple and uncouple; families and friends share rituals and laughter; most of Berlin's citizens go about their day with little sense of the larger threat to their existence. Meanwhile, the journalist Kurt Severing and the artist Marthe Muller watch in horror as their society begins a dizzying descent into extremism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLutes' \u003ci\u003eBerlin Book Three: City of Light\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most anticipated graphic novels of 2018, and the long-awaited conclusion to his beloved trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Lutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770463275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770463271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/18\/2018","brand":"Jason Lutes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989473755391,"sku":"9781770463271","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f128cd56-52b1-4fb8-a07c-bca70055f61b.jpg?v=1683299707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/berlin-book-three-jason-lutes-9781770463271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
