Kaspar
This graphic novel by a Quebec author and cartoonist is based on the life of Kaspar Hauser, a young man who appeared mysteriously in the streets of Nuremberg on May 28, 1828, and died of knife wounds five years later under equally mysterious circumstances. Allegedly raised in a dark cellar and deprived of human contact until the age of sixteen, he became the proof of a concept for theories about natural man, original sin, and the civilizing mission of culture. Rightful heir to the throne of Baden or a fraud? Redeemer of man’s sins or “ambulatory automatist”? The curious circumstances and significance of his life have been disputed ever since.
Boyle, T. Coraghessan
The Women
