![]() ![]() The art was also very amazing and pleasing. Also unlike some other mangas, I found the ending to be appropriate for the story and not dramatic it was something the reader's wanted. something, which sometimes happens when a manga is not well-written. I also thought the writing was realistic the 19-year-old actually sounded like a 19-year-old, and not a 30-year-old or I think it's one of CLAMP's best works, and that's quite the statement considering CLAMP often has great story line's.

It's a reflection of how ordinary people get caught up in extraordinary events, and in these times of Trump and Brexit it feels an awful lot more relevant than it did ten years ago. Despite the shorter length, it covers a longer time period, from late 1930 up to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January 1933 but the main story isn't the high politics of parliamentary manœuvre, it's the ongoing story of the little people, Marthe and Kurt, the non-fictional journalist Carl von Ossietzky, the children of Gudrun who was killed by state violence at the end of the first volume, the Jews seeking to get out before it is too late, Marthe's trans lover, random insights into the thoughts of passers-by.

In a relatively short period-from the early 1640s to the eve of the French Revolution-Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Leibniz, and Hume all made their mark. Now, in his sequel, The Dream of Enlightenment, Gottlieb expertly navigates a second great explosion of thought, taking us to northern Europe in the wake of its wars of religion and the rise of Galilean science.
