Ein Frühling in Tschernobyl #[nn]

This graphic novel recounts the true story of a journalist who travels to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in the spring of 2006, twenty years after the nuclear disaster. Through his journey, the narrative explores the eerie, abandoned landscape and the resilient people who still inhabit the contaminated zone, blending documentary-style reporting with personal reflection. Created by German cartoonist Emmanuel Lepage, the book is a poignant, watercolor-illustrated travelogue that captures the haunting beauty and lingering trauma of the Chernobyl region.
