A review by clahrah
Die Abenteuer des Alexander von Humboldt by Andrea Wulf

4.0

spanish colonialism and white european men claiming decades of indigenous knowledge as their own :) <3

all cynicism aside though... this was lovely and very interesting to read. the narration was annoying as hell and not all of the illustrations where exactly my cup of tea but i loved how so much knowledge and interesting facts were presented so entertainingly.
i can see this graphic novel appealing to both young as well as adult readers and it's a nice introduction to the biography of a man who i do have a lot of sympathy for not only because he spent so much time in peru but especially because of his pioneering ideas and discoveries on environmentalism and the earth's geographic interrelationships.
