Venedig

In this German-language graphic novel from Carlsen Comics, the legendary Japanese artist Jiro Taniguchi crafts a poignant, wordless journey through a melancholic Venice. Originally released as a single, self-contained volume in 2017, the story follows an elderly man revisiting the city's canals and architecture, evoking memories of a lost love. Taniguchi's masterful, detailed linework—a hallmark of his acclaimed career—transforms the Italian city into a character itself, imbuing every panel with a quiet, reflective beauty. It stands as a meditative, late-career work from a creator celebrated for serene, humanistic storytelling.
